RAMBLINGS TEN

WHAT DO YOU DO?

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE LIES TO YOU?

DO YOU ACCEPT IT AS TRUTH UNTIL YOU FIND OTHERWISE?

OR DO YOU KNOW IMMEDIATELY, BY LOOKING AT THEM,

THAT THEY ARE TELLING A LIE?

THERE IS A GREAT PROBLEM OVER THE INTERNET, I THINK,

PEOPLE LIE TO EACH OTHER WHEN THE TRUTH IS BETTER.

THE TRUTH WOULD BE BEST AT ALL TIMES,

BUT SOMETIMES ONE MUST SURROUND IT WITH KINDNESS.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MANY LIES ON THE INTERNET,

LIES ABOUT IDENTITY, AS IF I CARED WHO THEY WERE.

LIES ABOUT MARITAL STATUS, AS IF I CARED IF THEY WERE.

LIES ABOUT AGE, AND AGE MATTERS NOT TO ME AT ALL.

HERE IS WHAT MATTERS TO ME ON THE INTERNET,

FINDING A TRUE FRIEND, ONE WHO CHOOSES TO BE

A FRIEND TO ME, AND I TO HIM/HER; WE SHALL BE

THERE FOR EACH OTHER WHENEVER NEEDED.

WE SHALL BE INTERESTED IN THE WORDS, TEARS,

DEEP HURTS OF THE OTHER, AND GIVE THEM EMPATHY,

AND SUSTENANCE, WORDS TO COMFORT AND HELP.

WE SHALL CHECK ON THEM TO SEE IF THEY NEED US MORE.

VERY FEW WANT THIS KIND OF FRIENDSHIP ON THE NET,

AND IT SADDENS ME, FOR IT IS BADLY NEEDED BY ALL.

WHY ARE WE NOT A GIVING GROUP? WHY ARE WE

SEEMINGLY FRIGHTENED OF OPENING UP TO OUR FRIENDS?

THEY ARE FRIGHTENED TO OPEN UP TO US, TOO,

AND THAT MAKES ME EVER SO SAD,

FOR WE NEED EACH OTHER GREATLY,

AND DESIRE HELP SO BADLY.
