Seriously.

I have been proven over and over again that honesty and transparency is the best. To hell with pride and self-image. There are so many things in life that are more important then one's unbroken veneer of perfection.

I just cleared up an honestly innocent stupid comment I made. And as clearing up and confronting mistakes always seem like a bucketload of pain, this was pretty brutal too. Especially if you live with the guy, and you don't know him too well.

But it was good though. Knocking timidly on his door, recounting the incident, looking incredibly stupid and feeling the blood shine abashedly though my cheeks.

Giggle.

Lay it all out. Be real and transparent for all the world to see. Be genuine and honest. Put your heart out on your sleeve, better yet, deconstruct it for them in case they don't get it. Let them know. Huntington only got half the story right. It isn't the differences in civilizations that will cause the next global war, or any other reason for that matter. It's the fact that people don't understand, don't know, don't realise.

There is no axis of evil, no bad 'states', nothing subjective of that sort. There is only a lack of understanding. If we could all lay down our lenses for a moment and tried to understand and made efforts to clear up all possible misunderstanding. I think we'd get along a lot better that way.
