"Behind closed doors, that's where the truth is, that's where the lies are." - Peter Andre, 'Behind closed doors.' (I know you're all now judging me, please don't...)
They say silence is golden, and in come respects I agree. Like when you come in after a long day, and there's no one home, and the dogs being quiet, and you can just chillax. But in a lot of ways, it really isn't. Silence is bad, it's time we started talking, like properly, none of this "I'll Facebook them." or "I'll drop them a text." it doesn't work, in a society where everything is done through technology, we never really seem to know when people actually need us.
See, I've come to the conclusion that for some people, walking out of the front door in the morning is like becoming a new person, sometimes, I can be one of them, I'm a different me in the house, with my friends, with my family. Don't get me wrong, I don't have multiple personalities (well at least I don't think I do...) I'm just different around different people.
But, my point is, in a society where we take everything written on the Internet or sent to us in a text to be the truth, we've forgotten to show our true emotions, and how we much we actually care for people. Maybe part of the issue is that it's easy to be someone online, and try and keep it up in person, but it's also easy to say something online if we're not going to bump into anyone.
I can't really say want I'm trying to, maybe that's just because there's some parts of me that don't really know what I'm trying to achieve here. But what I do know, is that it's time we started looking at people, and getting to know the 'real' them, the one behind the closed doors
"Behind closed doors, that's where the truth is, that's where the lies are."
AMEN. I'm the exact same way. It's so weird how removing the face-to-face interaction changes people into someone completely different. Facebook and texting is good to some extent, but in person is the best way to be. It's like learning to drive. You can learn through a video game, but without the actual challenges, difficulties, and setting, you'll never EVER really know how to drive.
ReplyDeleteEek, sounds lame, but it's what came to my mind :-P
Chandrie, I totally agree, I think it's about finding the balance too, like sometimes a little text or Facebook message is just what the person might need, but that's not always the case...
ReplyDeleteI like your analogy though, but I never was any good at driving on those video games, and not much has improved since then :P ha! :)
