The M word

is it possible.. in the final analysis...for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another?...we can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person...but in the end....how close can we come to that person's essence?.... we convince ourselves that we know the other person well.... but do we really know anything important about anyone?.....

"what do you think?... im not a starfish or a pepper tree.... im a living, breathing human being.... of course ive been in love...."

that was my answer to her(not an exact quote,but it cooler this way), miss my-hobby-is-to-ask-other-personal-question...damn man.... she ask to many question... question that i dont even ask myself....she so nonchalant ask people bout their personal life... question that make you uncomfortable...

then there was
miss i-go-with-the-flow which think that innocently(what another word for innocent .... ignorant... or what i like to call stupid) believe that relationship is all about heart...she foolishly believe that it nothing to do with experience or knowledge or hardwork or other things... "the heart want what the heart want" that is her mantra ...

all this questions and opinion doesnt seem to bother most people.... given the chance... people are surprisingly frank when they talk about themselves.... "im honest and open to a ridiculous degree"... theyll say.. or "im thin-skinned and not the type who gets along easily in the world...." or "im very good at sensing others true feelings...." but any number of times ive seen people who say theyre easily hurt... hurt other people for no apparent reason.... self-styled honest and open people... without realizing what theyre doing... blithely use some self-serving excuse to get what they want.... and those "good at sensing others true feelings" ...are duped by the most transparent flattery.... its enough to make me ask the question.... how well do we really know ourselves?"
