thought #191- the saddest thing

is not when strangers feign that they are friends, but when friends feign they are strangers. and not when one feels so much for another, but feels nothing at all. and not when we manifest lies but when we are fully aware of the truth and still choose to ignore it. and not when we see that there is so much to do, but when we see and do nothing at all.

the saddest thing is not when we forget but no longer care to remember. and not that we hate people and beliefs and things but that we are given the freewill to love and still choose against it. and not when people disappoint us but we disappoint ourselves first. and not when two people who no longer love each other fight for the rest of their lives but when they turn a deaf ear to the question "who are we fooling?"

but the most saddest thing is not the hate, hurt, pain and suffering that is around us but it is when we don't even see these things that we've personally done that is the most tragic. it's not the unknown that is frightening, it's knowing and doing nothing. it's being aware and still choosing the wrong way.

ps. things to think about when we reach life's forks in the road... literally haha
