If I were a weather forecaster, it would always rain when the sun was actually shining outside the window. Because I’m such a lousy “weather forecaster.”
Would I want my forecasts to come true at all? I don’t think so. Because I always think about the worst.
Today I thought about the fact that if I met my old friends now, we wouldn’t be friends. Not because they’re bad people. We’ve just become very different. And this is a fact that I have to accept. If we met her, and I knew everything I know. Would I want to communicate? My thoughts change like a weather forecaster’s weather forecast. And in general, I would say no. But forecasts sometimes lie, and my internal weather changes according to a person’s attitude. If you put your principles on one scale, and trust and openness on the other, what will prevail?
It is trust and openness that make this communication desirable. It’s the trust and openness I lost with my old friends. She just doesn’t know how important it is to me.
