About Transparency

Salut,

Another sitting in the bus episode... Though I had the idea while sitting in my car... stopped on a red light... Looking at the slim legs of a teenager waiting to cross the street... They caught my eye because they were shaking... It's a cold morning... And there were two of them (teenagers, not legs, we all have two legs... at least... most of us... anyway)... So her friend... had a very nice butt... And then I said... Ho my god... MAD, stop looking at her butt... She's just a teenager...

So what? Like those beauties I look at in the bus... I don't do anything wrong... I'll never ever do anything bad to these girls... I just enjoy looking at them... Is this a crime? I'm actually convinced that we all do the same... Come on... Who in their right mind don't like to look at good looking people? Of course, I agree that some people may not like to be looked at, and yet, come on... Who wouldn't like to know that others find them attractive??? COME ON!!!

I think the main difference with someone like me, is that I openly talk about it... And even publicly on the Internet (though you are not that many to read my blog, still...). And you should also note (for those of you who may not know me that well) that I am always like that (fully transparent)... I (almost) always say what I think (yet, I still try to be careful not to hurt anyone with what I say)... And I truly believe that thinking about it is not a crime...

It is true that you can get a good idea of who I am by knowing how I think... But it is how I act that truly defines who I am... For example, we, human beings, are animals. As with all animals, the way we live is mainly based on instincts. Our instinct is what got us to reproduce and survive through ages, so we should not deny them. We should never be ashamed of them... Even our most basic instincts... But it doesn't mean that we have to listen to them... The control we developed over our instincts, the sense of moral that our society have slowly built, is what made us (human beings) raise above the animal kingdom.

What I'm trying to get to, is that it is OK to expose ourselves by talking about the stuff that rambles in our head... To expose our emotions on the public place... To talk about our fears or our needs... It is OK... If someone think less of me because I looked at the cute butt of a teenager waiting to cross the street, if that someone judges me without taking the time get to know me well enough to understand that I would have never hurt that little girl in any way... well... too bad... that someone doesn't deserve to be my friend anyway...

Let's not judge each other too quickly... Let us be ourselves and not be shy to express it... The more we judge others, the less likely they will open their true self to us... And we will miss a chance to discover someone that could have become a good friend... a best friend... and even more...

So just let ourselves be transparent... And live happily ever after... ;-)
