Unmasking the real conversation requires a physical act of trust. Say that three times. Allow it to sink into your thinking process. Unmasking the real conversation requires a physical act of trust. How much time will go by before the availability of actuality shows the open door? Too heavy? I shy away from circles of personal conversation. The fear of getting wrapped up in something that will challenge my or someone else’s trust. We gossip by way of comparing chapters. The internet has turned us into monsters. My father was very stern about where you are currently placed. If you’re caught up in a conversation talking about someone then what they saying about you? You know how it is! It’s been this way since elementary school. People don’t keep stories to themselves. It’ll either get back to the origin or the stories will fall into the wrong ears. The waves of negative energy start to tarnish the image and imagination. So I ask, “Is it safer to not unmask the real conversation or does it paint you as being standoffish and or uncaring?" What if we agreed to disagree about finding no time to have the real conversation? That’s a choice that too many have already adopted. Choosing to be silent generates other stories. When a few gather to whisper and they keep looking at you. How about the coworker that can’t stop dropping the F bomb. People hear it and because you were there you said it too. Or being on the opposite end of a good ole fashioned finger pointing. He was with them when they said! Unmasking the real conversation requires a physical act of trust. What side of the fence do you stand?
