Whatever that means

I'm going to attempt to be a little general here, so as not to offend those to whom I refer, although said individuals will most likely never read this blog. That being said, I'm going to try and make my point.

I've had the distinct experience of dealing with people for quite some time. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to interact in the fashion to which I have become accustomed. I am...gentle, with people. I coddle them, offering them half truths because The honest perception I observe is not the one they wish to hear. They would maintain an intimate understanding of a world about as deep as their thumbnail. Yet these people often think of themselves as honest souls, seeing things clearly. I don't pretend to see things any more clearly, yet often I see their things more clearly than they see for themselves. We cloud our own understandings, to obscure the harsh revelations which we find uncomfortable.

I'm reasonably patient. I have a tether, as does any other, and I consider mine well set, yet some days I just can't take the feel of the collar any longer, and I take it off for a moment, and speak my mind. I'm usually not cruel, but I'm always honest. Sometime to the point of uncomfortable accuracy. At these times I am capable of remarkable intuitive accuracy. People get offended when you hit too close to the mark. So, I stop shooting.

I guess the moral of the story here is, for those of you who know me, the vast majority of the time I am being honest, but I'm also full of shit. Its for your benefit. You wouldn't be able to stand me if I wasn't this way. For this reason I don't mind when the things I say get twisted, because most of them were twisted from the start. Feel free to ask me my opinion, but you won't always get the honest one. You'll always get the one I think you ought to hear. That's nothing new. I just hope I limit that intuitive examination to people I don't like, the the number of people who don't like me may increase in value. That's not a good thing.

I hope you didn't take this too seriously. I'm tired, and basically, I'm full of shit. Happy hunting, whatever that means.
