Great Expectations

[PrttyBrd]

Trust in humanity is shaken. Trembling to the core despite the rising heat. Never able to understand why people choose to lie, why they choose manipulate, hide, and omit. If there is something you want, then ask. Painful games and lost friends. What a price to pay for something I would have freely given. Always enough faith in others, and often let down. Troops rallied for a takeover. Black /white, left/right, right/wrong. It's easy to live life by well defined rules. Gray and other colors just cloud the mind and change the path that is there to follow. He said, she said. People hoist you on their shoulders commanding you at will, never letting you touch bottom or guide yourself. Riding on the waves of whispers. Landing in a pile of... Business is business, that's true. But people are people regardless of their current role in the play. As people, there should be some minimum standard of respect. There should be some minimum something. You can't expect them to hold you up, but you should at least be able to expect that they won't shove you face first into hell.
