And white is the new black
i'm all for frankness and honesty
but sometimes i simply have to say i prefer white lies (if done well and dosen't let the cat out of the bag) and blissful ignorance...
later edit: (i was going for sth small and impactful, but heck that. i'm in ranting mood now.. but i'd keep it short)
information is such a drug... you crave its power, and my, is it a powerful thing in it. you finally obtained it, the momentary gift of the upper hand is sweet as hell, but no, chances are you're not powerful enough to control it and have it tucked nicely under your belt. it ravages you.
you're experienced now. you went cold turkey. yes, you're out of the game, you thought. but no. someone just throws it straight in your face. or maybe it's just an unknowing package left by the wayside that piqued your curiousity. you're sucked right back in. enjoy your power now, cos before you know it you'd be back for more...
