Faces and Walls

To every problem, there are two stories. Sometimes three. Your side, their side, and occasionally the truth. Not only is this true to stories, problems, and whatnot; but to people and life as well. Even if it seems as if there's only one side to point, there is always more to it, and these points may not always be just what it seem. As we all have often heard, how you see a glass with water, holds our standing to our personality. Some may say a half filled glass and be judged as a optimist, while others are being called as a pessimist for saying the glass is half empty. But truly, must we actually let this simple test represent us as a whole? If you were to ask me, the obvious answer can easily represented as a NO. Maybe the person just chose half empty, because that was what they were taught. Or maybe that's just simply how they want to say it as. Who knows, but whatever the case, to this experiment, all I can say is that there are two faces- one to the world and one to themselves.

Like this, we- and life in general aren't too different. We all have this reputation where we build this wall for ourselves to please the eyes of society. And behind this wall, we silently hide our true feelings. In some cases, there's others who are built with double firewalls- one the world assumes and one they tell the world, while their true problems deeply buried inside. So, may I ask you, which is you?
