Let me step back a minute and talk about the people I choose to associate with...the real. People that tell it like it is...not how they choose to see it depending on who's in front of them but what is intimately true of intention and all else. People that dont subscribe to the idea of "what you dont see, wont hurt you" when it comes to me. They know I will see it all so they dont even bother hiding and that makes them real to me. They tell me about their "sucker" but will never view me as one. They dont have to tell me shit but they feel free in doing so because they know that what I value most in those I associate with is honesty. The murderer that lies about it will kill you when you least expect it and the thief that says he's never stolen a thing will pick your pocket the second he gets the chance to. My people have most of my trust because by their own admissions I see them coming a mile away lol. Do I trust them fully?...no. Does that make me miserable?...absolutely not. It makes me wise and in wisdom, there is comfort in this realm. I draw my limits based on their acknowledged and unacknowledged difficiencies. In doing so there are rules that flow perfectly through the harmonization of differing characters. We can be who we are without judgement because we've already judged ourselves and we all know it. In doing so we feel the freedom to just be who we are. We become "just cool".
Question is what makes people so damn real? These are people that are brutally honest with themselves and others about their intentions and motives. One interesting trait about most real people is that they see themselves as a work in progress. Why? Because to be brutally honest is to see all difficiency...difficiencies that need changing. My people are as real as they come. They are real about their strengths AND their weaknesses. We all choose to face interaction with ourselves and others with the understanding that in every action and word...there is motive. Motives at core are ALL the same yet what differs one from the other are the layers created by experience and perspective. Nothing shocks us or moves us because we understand that for the most part people are full of shit and only the really mature can embrace this reality with ease. Brutal honesty comes at cost. The cost is the bliss of ignorance. Most people learn this only after they have come across several personal dissapointments in people they were intimate with. Yet others never come to this realization because they cant handle it. They are so messed up they dont want to admit how messed up they are. They are fully aware that to fix said difficiencies would take too much damn work and sometimes fixing these difficiencies means letting go of a "comfort crutch"...something the weak cannot bring themselves to do. That can be anything from food to extreme neediness. So they project this lala-land idea of "basic goodness" onto others so they can with ease accept this for themselves and never ever have to face their own demons. This is why they keep getting into shit and messes. They can't bring themselves to accept this in others. They dont accept that the one saying "Hi" with the beautiful smile is out for something. They accept the "Hi" at face value and get burned later on because the person saying "Hi" turned out to be an asshole. They could've seen this from jump had they just accepted the truth of things. Understand that people are selfish at heart. We want what we want when we want it. Babies dont care what time it is..."IT'S 3AM, GIVE ME MY MILK B**CH!!!" lol Selflessness is LEARNED. Accepting this of yourself and others allows you to see motive. In determining motive you can then control the outcome or even avoid an impending outcome. This is what brings ease and peace in the presence of the most complicated of variables...the human being. Once you can accept the truth of this it becomes easier to determine motive and determining motive gives you command of your environment. Hold up...does this mean Im also full of shit? Absolutely!!! Except that I'll tell you where I'm full of shit and in doing so prevent my own dishonesty. Although I always tell myself first ;-)
Anyway...these are my kind of people. The real...people with masks they're willing to take off in my presence and in time altogether. People that tell me things like "I dont want to date her...I just want to bang her" lol...you know who you are bro ;-) People that tell me the truth. THESE are my people because they are like me. These are hard lessons to learn but the best lessons provide the "why" and not just the "what". The "what" involves the "action" and the "why" provides the motive. If you receive the "why" then that means you have changed your perspective and the "what" comes easy. If you receive only the "what" then you will only "perform" in the presence of the teacher to get a good grade but there is no REAL change. Thats called being fake...be real people...for real. Im spent ;-)
