Two words, freaky coicidence. The way I find out about things these days is almost uncanny. And the weirdest part? Someone tells me about something and I listen. Since, I don't think it is any of my business to find out more than what that person is willing to reveal, I leave it at that. Yet, the information literally comes to me from various sources and when you put two and two together, you have the whole big fucking picture.

That god damn picture makes up a piece of an even bigger, more important picture. In retrospect, it is not a bad thing, at least you know what to expect out of the present situation and react with just the right dose of caution. But knowing too much can be more of a bane, than a blessing... Especially if you do not like knowing what you know.

Knowledge is a double-edged sword, it can be a revelation or a curse...

For the past few days, I have had to battle the ever persistent emotional struggle within me. I never knew pain existed in so many forms. Patience has never been one of my strengths but now, I am forced to wait for something that still remains elusive at the moment. The only thing I have now is hope.

I can only hope, but it is good enough for now...

i've been thinking about this thing about knowing more than one should too. i can hazard a guess what u're referring to in your cryptic post, what u told me some days back via msn? i do hope all's well with you. it's hard to try to push these things to the back of your mind.
you're right sometimes it is better to not know. because knowing can create fear & worry, but it could also be preventive. but i question will knowing lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy...

Hey Bren... Thanks for leaving this comment. Yep, you're right, it is about what I told you over msn...

I've been lucky in the sense when I hear about some things that have no effect on me now. Thing is... if I had heard about it years ago, I would have been thoroughly miserable.

Knowing can provide some sort of reprieve but sometimes the truth can bring about pain that will haunt you for awhile...

It will only lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy if you let it and believe in the worst case scenario.

For me, it just makes me numb.
