We’re supposed to treat everyone the same. In a world where congeniality is given unnecessary importance, and people don’t really know about how they fit into the world, or the kinds of impressions they create on other people, we need to stop lying to the world at large. And the only way we can do this is to, firstly, stop lying to ourselves.

Even if we don’t extend this to friendship; think about the errors we make in judgement calls and unfairness in forgiveness. Imagine judges, lawyers and doctors stopping to consider the gravity of their decisions.

Human tendency is to lie, and still search for the truth; to never hate fully, and to never love completely. To deny being in denial and still feel the desperate need to find closure; to close chapters permanently and still open them again.

It seems like everyone’s elementally the same. Yet we’re fundamentally different, if you understand what I mean. And in such a world, I don’t understand how we can treat everyone in the same way, because they’re not all the same.
