Simple But True

After my last post I remembered something I read on daughter of night's blog when I first stumbled upon it. I really liked it but I wasn't sure why, except that I thought it was clever and honest.


Heart of the Matter
Thee would point thou at
another and cry, "Deceiver!"
But those who witness point them at thee and whisper, "Sucker."
- daughter of night


Now I can see that it clearly points out that our perceptions of emotional situations depends on our involvement. It could certainly be applied to my friends current situation.

Thank you Daughter for allowing me to share this.

You are welcome. I don't think I've ever been quoted before, so it is a great honor.

Care to share what inspired such a thought? That is if you can even remember, it has been over a year since you wrote it.

It was just one of those times when I realized that I was feeling sorry for myself and expecting everyone else to join the pity party too. Taking a step back and looking at it from the outside always changes the perspective.
