Getting to know you…
Friends, people, places, objects, relationships between…
Its the old analogy of, “don’t judge a book by its cover”. We live our day to day lives seeing things & interoperating them based on the things we “know” we like & dislike.
Friends are your friends… why? They are trustworthy, always welcoming, honest, true to their word, reliable etc, but, how did you make that friend? what attracted you to them in the first place? did they “look cool”, provide you with something you wanted, make you laugh at the first hurdle, break the ice by taking the piss out of you or themselves, rant about something pointless in the toilets of a club, offer you cigarette, have an understanding you both have a likeness for music… probably one of those amongst who knows what else.
This is what I’m trying to get at… I bet you were open minded about that person in the 1st place, you liked what they had & you let your guard down & was willing to let them penetrate you mentally or maybe sexually, maybe it bit you in the ass, but you’ll only have learnt not to make that mistake again, however you may have learnt the right way & good came from it?
Consider this… when you next meet someone that you’ve either met briefly or never before ask them spontaneously “so what did you have for dinner?” & see where it takes you, if nowhere then forget it, if somewhere then maybe that person isn’t so bad…
Give someone or something a chance before you give up on them, just because you don’t initially like the look of it doesn’t mean it isn’t worth anything to you, live a little.
Common knowledge rant over!
