CSI wannabe

we often tell people not to lie to kids. they will remember that you have promised them something. on the other hand, as adults, we say promises are meant to be broken when things don't work out. is there some logic to this????

i may not be the top student in school. but i'm certainly not stupid. if i could read the whole political game in office and still managed to stay out of it, i must be quite smart right?

am i naive then? am i too trusting then? the whole screw-up with SL didn't turn me into a cynic - is that something to cheer about? some will say that i'd be asking for it if i haven't learn my lesson.

i mean, what is wrong with trusting people around me? what is wrong with believing in people whom i'd consider friends? or to begin with, i should not treat people i meet as frens, unless proven so? maybe that's why i need a real crisis to realise that i did have a bunch of fair-weathered ones. but by then, i'm already hurt.

no, i'm not here to lament on the things that went wrong with SL. but i just wonder how is it that after such a hard lesson, i can still be so naive about the world - still believing that it is made up of wonderful people, and that people around me are real sincere folks????

i've always thought that people will reciprocate with the same level of sincerely if i start by doing so - i can hear u laughing - so maybe i do deserve it by being so naive.
