"Just because I patronise you doesn't mean I dont take you seriously. I just don't need to fight. I've got nothing to prove, and neither do you. We both know if you're speaking the truth, so what would be the point of me trying to prove otherwise? When you fight and push your point...are you trying to convince me or convince yourself?"

wow...i'm impressed.
i had a convo with shar the other day and i mentioned that i don't like people who put up a front, and sometimes, i think these people try so hard to be somebody else that they find themselves unknowingly slipping into that character for real. to which she replied, shouldn't these people be given credit for trying to be a better person? whether they act cute/ macho/ sensible/ mischievious/ emo, aren't they all trying to portray an image which they believe embodies something which is 'good'? because who would want to make themseles look bad? meaning in a sense, the 'front' we're trying to cast...is actually a mirror of what we would truly like ourselves to become, rather than something we put on for show.

the people whom we term 'posers', then, are simply those who don't believe in what they're doing, who do it for the sake of image rather than character. but how do you tell the difference?

in any case, i think this convo was interesting. i'll try and trust...some of my friends more, from now on. rather than thinking there's always some more malicious intent hidden beneath their actions (:
