Real showdown with faces

I always thought social networking sites don't really show the real faces of people. But as it turns out, they do. I was wrong in my opinion. I have had the good fortune of knowing the TRUE face of friends and their friends who became mine, after a while. It's truly a wonderful world. The more we try to forgive people, the more vile they seem to be in reality. And, isn't it really a good thing that they are exposed, the earlier, the better for us! Trust and Kindness are two good traits we must not seemingly waste on everyone, even the one's we think are close to us. I know this thought sounds unruly and selfish, but believe me, people are always moving around in masks. They have masked their real faces, and personalities, so we unfortunately fall for the sugary, sweet demeanor which really is just a ply on their part.

Seriously, just chuck all those self-help books that tell us all the time to be kind, good-natured, trusting souls. Apparently, in this age and day, these traits never do any good for their practitioners. More harm than good done. All my anger just comes back looking at this deception, so worldly and carefully crafted by the one I had faith in. How cruel and low can humans get? Just this much. We can influence people to get even with people we have a problem with, and there lies my question as to why would people stoop low? Have they no morals anymore? If they possessed such evil character, how did we miss out on recognising them earlier? Or did we, and just stayed quiet believing in their good side? I have now started having huge doubts on my self, my ability to judge and know people. It seems we are so unimportant suddenly to people who earlier couldn't live without us. That's it- this dumbing down of ourselves that we willingly, selflessly, unconsciously did to accommodate people in our lives, it has to stop. Let's be strong and really take time before we plunder our goodness again. Not everyone is worthy of our time, love, association. I won't say energy, because it can be regained again, however the other three are really a limited stock with ourselves too. Start a new fresh beginning. Forget the stupid, unimportant past with all the memories- good, bad- all of them. Life awaits for us with new experiences. Go for it with a new vigour. We are free birds, who can fly high. Amen.
