And yet...

It was suggested to me today that, in the long run, it is better to not trust people to begin with, and, in doing so I save myself from pain and hurt.

Dunno, but, I just can't do that. It would be like giving up on people and I'd like to think that there are enough good people in this world to turn things around.

The alternative is, of course, to simply roll over and play dead.

Um... no.

So, I give you one of the most beautiful songs ever made...



When you're weary; feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out;
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silvergirl;
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine.
Oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind...
