Say It

the other day I met up with my childhood friend,
she told me, her boss mentioned that, she’s been too ‘direct’,
my response, “since when you’re not direct?”
followed by, “all my friends are very direct”

well, maybe my friends are direct when dealing with me, or
maybe I only make friend with those who’re direct, or, who’s the wisdom and guts to BE DIRECT!

frankly, as I’ve blogged many time, I really do not like dealing with people who’re not direct, or, who simply do not say what they mean, or mean what they say,
it’s just wasting my precious time doing guess work with these people, and to me, they’re insulting the beauty of words, and beauty of language!
ya, manipulator like to do it, and they’re the biggest liar!
haha, who’re not, almost all world leaders are, or, leaders of some sort, huh?

remember the movie “babel”??
remember the origin of “the tower of babel”??
it’s all about words, words that come out from our mouth…

I’m thinking, if words have spirit (yes, they do, and I’d like to believe, they do)
they’ll sure haunt these people at night, in their dream, for abusing them, for mis-using them…
I once watch this Japanese drama, TRICK (part I, II, III, all good) and one of the stories is the mother of the heroin telling all her students, words have spirit, and thus words have power!!
therefore, do not misuse words, and do not abuse words…

say what you mean, and mean what you say…
but of course, in my dream right??
well… I’ve to say, I’m quite lucky that, most (I’ll say, almost all) of my friends are direct, and they say what they mean… AND mean what they say…
I do not have to act nice in front of them, and vice versa,
also, less misunderstanding and… after going back, I can sleep, without chewing what they say,
without guessing what they actually mean, or without guessing if their feeling will be hurt with our response…
isn’t it nice?

ps: just my little blabbering in the middle of the night.. but, of course, I mean it, cos, I mean what I say, and I say what I mean ^.^
