Some events that happened lately with people that I considered myself close to made me wonder.
It doesn’t matter how much you trust someone, how sure you are that you know him and that you know he’s telling the truth – you can still end up being wrong.
How much do we actually know the people around us, even those we consider our closest friends? After all, we create an image in our minds, based on our experience with that person. But this image is still of our own creation, our own observations and reflections upon simple and complex things, behaviors, etc.
Didn’t it happen to you that one single thing that your friend did suddenly made it clear to you that he might not be at all what you though him to be?
The problem is to try and understand what is real and genuine, and also what projections we make in our mind when getting to know someone.
Or maybe there isn’t at all any separation between the image of the person we create in our mind and the person himself. Or maybe the image we have actually affect the person himself
However you look at it, it makes all our relationship scarily fragile. Philosophy seriously mess up with your mind :)...
