true? what's truth anyway?

how can you tell what's true anyway?


seriously. it's like, i know things about you. you know things about me. we know things about other people. but like ... what i know or see or think about other people is totally different from what you know or see or think about them. what you think of me is totally different from what other people think. probably why we get along.

what i really like is that in court you have to do that whole "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" but what you experience will be different from what the person right next to you will experience. like that kid that got killed in the car accident. some people were like "figures. what was he doing drunk so early in the morning?" and other people were so sad. and still others were like "the road needs to be fixed." and so on and so forth.

the sad thing is, not many people take the time to compare notes. but comparing notes is how we gain more perspective on things. like when we talk about the insane things that happened during our days and how you react or interpret stuff that happens to me, makes me think about it in a different way. how i react or interpret stuff that happens to you, makes you think about that.

i think that's the most important thing about real friends. true friends. a true friend is someone who you can really communicate with, someone who doesn't push their interpretations or beliefs on you, but in the process of communicating with you, gives you another perspective or point of view to consider.

yeah.

kay i'll shut up now lmao
