...a pain you did not feel" was a status a friend posted a while back. I appreciate the sentiment but now I ask, why not when others judge us so easily, too quickly and so unforgivingly? Why must you give the consideration you were never given? Why not lash out with the same cynicism you are shown? Why be noble in the face of such careless disregard?
I don't think I'm bitter. These are thoughts I would never normally give voice to. But sometimes, I am pushed and the thoughts come out.
The thoughts have to come out. They cannot be kept hidden in the dark, always afraid to be free. They have to breath the icy coldness of reality and harshness of the bright sunlight to understand that this is not where they belong. They need to be explored, dissected and answered. And then they can be at peace. And then I can rest because I realize again: Those judgments? They mean nothing.
