It Takes More Courage To Cry And Leave Your Heart Vulnerable To Attack And Suffering

"It Takes More Courage To Cry And Leave Your Heart Vulnerable To Attack And Suffering,
Than To Choke Back Your Tears And Keep Your Heart Hidden And Numb." - David Julio Wang

I have to refine this saying somewhat because I do not feel it is wholly fair how it is,
but the basic idea is certainly correct.

Crying is one of the hardest things a person can do in this Emotionally Constipated society of ours.
Showing weakness is tantamount to being worthless.

Oftentimes Other People Wonder Why It Is Difficult For You To Move. They See It As Going From Point A To Point B.

"Oftentimes Other People Wonder Why It Is Difficult For Someone To Move.
They See It As Going From Point A To Point B.
They Do Not See All The Invisible Points Which Lay Between." - David Julio Wang

It is so easy to judge others,
but,
for our species to mature,
we have to start asking,
always,
what is this person's story?

"When You Truly Learn A Person's Story, It Is Impossible To Judge Them Anymore.
For If You Truly Know Them, You Know How Could They Have Acted Other Than How They Did?"

Thinking About Life In Terms Of Good Or Bad, Correct Or Mistake, Black Or White, Is Not Acknowledging The Whole Truth Of Experience

"Thinking About Life In Terms Of Good Or Bad,
Correct Or Mistake,
Black Or White,
Is Not Acknowledging The Whole Truth Of Experience,
For Lest We Forget, Human Beings See In Color." - David Julio Wang

"Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?" - Avril Lavigne

I like Avril very much,
but the desire to oversimplify existence is...to not acknowledge its complexity.

...still...I think she's right about her friend in the song though.
Hopefully, he will be able to become himself when he decides to stop being someone else.

"The Only Constant In Life Is Change."

...sometimes I suppose there need only be the choice between left and right.
but,
i'm the kind of person who would always wonder what would happen if one just plows through the bush.

When You Lose The Fear Of Being Hurt By Others, You Lose The Fear Of Being Yourself

"When You Lose The Fear Of Being Hurt By Others,
You Lose The Fear Of Being Yourself."

Censorship.
Holding back.
Not feeling free to be who you truly are.
All caused by fear of being hurt by others.
When that fear is gone,
who else can you be but yourself.
