paraphilia

Such large brown eyes, but do they tell truth or lies?  Do they test, jest, or truly confess?

When a person tells you a story you’re left to decide between two truths: what you’ve been told, and what your gut tells you.  I’m a coward, and rather than choose between two truths I will find a compromise between them.  I will find a point and say my piece in such a way that compromises neither my ethics nor questions the veracity of what I was told.  But I will not forget my suspicions unless they are laid to rest.

I am not a “Knight in Shining Armor”.  I will not try and save you from yourself…unless you ask me to.  I will give you every opportunity to make the decision you feel is right, but I will not stop you from making the decision I feel is wrong.  I regret this at times, but I feel it is the only way I can come to terms with the independent existence of those around me.  I will support others in their decisions, but they must make that choice and accept the consequences it shall bear.

At least, I try to.  I am only as human as those that sit across me.
