Love is fickle

Sometimes the title evades me till I finish. Sometimes it leads me.

I take people at face value. Actions have always spoken louder than words and people can never hide their actions. Now we aren’t leaving words out of the equation because what people say weighed against what they do always gives a sum value. When that value is a negative then that person will do nothing but bring you down in the end. Never lash your boat to theirs.

Now with all the metaphors and mystical writing out of the way I can reflect on my ex and why our son tells everyone she died when he was young. He was strong enough to accept what she was and find a way to go forward with his head high and purpose strong.

I have a good friend who by all accounts is killing himself slowly and has no intent on stopping but denies it with all his strength. I have grown tired of telling him this and have decided to loosen the lashings enough to let him drift when the time comes. Some people refuse to hear the truth and that is fine.

Seeing the future is an art. It doesn’t always come through clearly and the way we choose to interpret it can be influenced by emotions. Love is fickle.....
