Questions

They say you should never trust anyone. They say you walk the path of life alone. They say no one is truly your well wisher. But then they say you should always have a confidante, a best friend. They say you should share your feelings and not be bottled up inside.

How is one supposed to reconcile the two? People blame me for being cagey, for not spitting out what I’m thinking, for not talking about my “feelings”. But how am I supposed to do that when every time I do, someone lets me down? That’s the thing about people isn’t it? People. They will always let you down.

Let’s be logical here. Once you have something called a best friend, you start having certain expectations of them. And then, inevitably, a time comes, when they’re tested. Tested on the threshold of friendship. And they let you down. Always.

And once that happens, people say you should have known. They say you acted foolishly. They say you’re naive, and immature, and have no knowledge of how the world works.

So is this what the world has come down to? Really, is it?

People. They will always let you down.
