do we REALLY know what's going on, with others, internally?

Each stanza is a 5-7-5 Haiku You don’t know me Not really. You just might see someone smiling bright You might hear a laugh skipping off my dark surface inside I am rough I am scrubbing on interior surfaces in a measured tyranny

People can only truly know you if YOU choose to let them in. As I have gotten old I found that the more I let people know me the more close friendships I have but choose your friends wisely. Have a great weekend. John

That's so true - I'm lucky - I do have two friends that I can completely confide in =]

We really don’t but it is good to have a heart to heart, attempt to know. Have you heard of the “Johari Window.” I find it fascinating. For example, there are things someone knows about you that you don’t know about yourself. There are four quadrants. Let me know if you look it up. It helped to see myself and others in a whole different way.
