we all know a coin always has two sides, despite its singular objective. most things, events, experiences and people can be looked at from many different angles, thus giving light to that certain side of it. the best example i can think of is twoface from batman. pretty apt.
when you look at something, do consider the alternate view, because sometimes humanity can be too trusting and too naive. ironically, i've always thought this about mankind very beautiful. but i realize i've been idealistic. the real world only sees one view - and that is the facet of yourself that you portray. like it or not, your image counts and first impressions matter.
sometimes being incognito can be the best thing to do. yet sometimes being vocal about one's opinion is admirable. in this life or the next, will we ever learn when to speak up at the right time and shut up likewise? i think i have to learn to shut up.
observation can be one's key to knowledge instead of questioning the obvious.
yet the sense of justification is not done when i do shut up. when i see something as black, i say it's black. i don't say "it's not white" and what other lame answers you can think of, because then people will start to guess it yellow, red, orange, green or blue and have this marvelous "rainbow fizz" facade to a really dull object.
if we had a volume control in life, i'd choose to turn it down more than up. because i wouldn't want to hear things i'm not meant to hear in the first place. yet i would sneak little intervals of increased audio pleasure just to satisfy my curiosity.
now i think the coin has devalued.
