Friends: The Truth in Society

I can’t say I’m really quite a pessimist. But I’m not exactly an optimist either.

Recently something has occurred that sent my mind whirring. Or spinning. Or well, whatever word suites your taste.
It occurred to me that we really don’t know anyone. At all. They tell you things and you see things, but did what you see really happen? Is what they say true? So the doctor says your sick, you take medicine, you feel better. Maybe you’re just on an all-time high?
But really, it’s friends. Friends.
Its a great feeling to have the person you trust completely, no matter what their flaw, to be the one there. You might not know everything about them but you can cry to them and all that. And society completely allows it, sure, but does it actually exist? It’s a wonderful theory; a grand idea with a true vision. But can we prove it? If we try, where do we tell truth apart from lies? So then they tell you all their secrets, with proof and all, but what if they’re all in it? Against you? Well then it’s a lie. And if not? Well it’s the truth. But depending on your decision you choose pain from joy. Although one could argue you’ll end up with both any way so it’s not like it matters, right?
Wrong.
Because that joy can cancel out the pain of anything else.
But if we get that pain…its going to cancel out joy.
Order matters, but even more so impact.
But one can live on thinking there is such as truth and lies. And it makes a happy society. If we were all paranoid, well, we’d have no society. Everyone would be socially inept and society as we know it would cease to exist.
Cause really, friendship plays such a huge role. But there has to be a small nagging “but what if…?” in the back of the mind.
But oh no! We must avoid doubt and confusion. Make it easier. Ignore it. Throw all those that question it into a psychiatric ward.
Lies and truth. Maybe the lie is the truth for someone else. So really, a lie is an opinion, a personal perception of the fact.
