Games people play..
Why must people play games? Why do we speak in words so clear yet concealed?
Why can't we be honest and straightforward in the moment of truth?
What is this force that holds us back and compels us to reassess when the heart attempts to stride forward?
Why don't we seize the opportunity when it is presented to us on a silver tray?
In every triumph, there is an element of doubt. The heart is passionate and impulsive, but the mind is wary. This world and everything in it is not black and white but changes colour with time.
A butterfly sits on your fingertip and as you behold it, you admire its beauty. You thank your heavens for having sent it to you. It rests on your hand. It seems content. You feel a bond between it and you. The heart flutters. But the mind counsels you that it may leave any moment, and you cannot hold on to it, without damaging its wings or crushing it.
Indeed, the butterfly could return to another flower, or to its home. You are left behind, empty handed and disappointed.

because of experience. because we are forced to be wary. because we don't want to look foolish in the eyes of the world. because we're afraid of getting hurt in the process of being honesty.
there is no respect for frankness and honesty anymore. one needs to plan their moves to survive.
