food for thoughts

do you remember the old times when you tell on people just to get them busted?
hahaha, it was done so naturally and yes, it was fun.. definitely~ :P
BUT ...

As I grew up, I realise there are always things better left unsaid.
Life is harsh. Always have been and we gotta fight our way through that journey.
Be it alone or with the help of others.
So why make it worse?

As I grew up, I realise things and people that I seek to protect have shifted.
The principle of "Honesty is the best policy" is not always the best.
I know that now. (though I still prefer it!)

As I grew up, I realise the gravity of inferiority, insecurity and pent-up pains.
And what those things can do to a person.
Be open. Everyone is fighting their own battles.


As I grew up, I realise that at times, one of the best ways to protect someone,
is just to simply keep quiet.

Yet, note that the line between keeping quiet and knowing when to speak is thin,
so think before you do anything :)
The privilege of knowing secrets comes with the burden of keeping it.

sorry abt the random post, train of thoughts- had to post it before it's gone.
