echo chorus

Does anyone else think its weird that.. say.. for example.. I could be in north adams Mass. And even though Dover NH is only.. lets say 150 miles away, give or take.. I cant see it. HOWEVER. STARS.. are like forever away. And I can totally see them.

I was sitting on the (very warm) hood of my car talking on the phone the other night, thinking this exact thing, when a star flew across the sky right over my head. Coincidence? Divine intervention? Poor vision? I don't know. It was cool though.

Another thing Id like to offer up as something maybe everyone deals with, and maybe they dont, is trust issues? Anyone? Because I have them majorly. And I don't know where they come from. My problem I think is that 99% of the population is willing to "stretch the truth" to better suit the out come of a conversation that they WANT to see. Now to me.. truth is truth. Any sort of variation is not. In addition I don't see "accidentally leaving something out" or trying to cover anything up as any sort of truth. Furthermore, when you do, see, say, or think something that makes you nervous and you react by doing ANYTHING shady. That's not truth. That's not honesty.

The scariest thing to me is that people have begun confusing themselves. As in, yes, it is okay to not make a big deal out of things that are not a big deal. But. and this is a big but. Its still important to be honest and open about it. Even the smallest things. And once you are honest and open about them, it is for someone else to decide if its a big deal or not. Because believe it or not.. it's not all about you.

disclaimer:
okay and this does not go out to everyone or anyone for that matter. It's a general statement of a consensus judgement I have made recently regarding the state of people on a social level.
