the world through rose colored glasses

lately i have found myself questing the character of others. it is so strange how people you love seem so seemingly perfect at first but over time you become so jaded to who they are.

not just people, but all situations. it takes so long for us to see the big picture

As for people it's not a matter of the person putting on the oh-so-common-front, but just how we perceive people. time makes most things better, but also makes everything that much more honest. we ignore small imperfections that we probably cannot deal with in the long run. we don't want to see how much of a liar someone else is at first, or how selfish they can be, until it is too late.

we want people to be what we want so badly that we'll do all we can to ignore their faults, but all that really does is destroy all you had with that person.

Then we are left questioning to what degree we love or care for that person.


the world through rose colored glasses is misleading and scary. we end up being totally unaware of the character of others and ourselves, but what can we really do about it? not too much. we want to see people in such a great image, we want to believe the apologies of our loved ones, we want to take what they say in the best way possible.

we do not like reality.
