Demand for Truth
Life is not a game.
Our choices define who we are.
Our mistakes are not failures, but lessons to be learned.
I chose to live in truth, without lamenting.
I suffer like all human beings.
I am imperfect, but I make the effort to be fair with my fellow human beings.
Love has never made me irrational.
I demand from you unwavering loyalty.
When I met you, you were completely overwhelmed by your problems.
You sometimes humiliated me because I refused to watch you sink into depression.
I believe that, up to now, I have been patient enough.
I have no time to waste.
I was clear with you from the very beginning.
I have always expressed my feelings, my emotions, without ambiguity.
We do not live in the same city today.
I believe that desiring you is not an absurdity.
I was deeply wounded by your reaction yesterday.
I have the clear impression that you take me for a stopgap.
I cannot accept being reduced to your psychological trash bin.
Nothing is built on uncertainty.
When you love someone, you devote your intelligence, your time, and your energy to them.
So far, I see no reciprocity from you toward me.
I do not have to pay for the failures of your emotional past.
My integrity must be respected.
I have always responded favorably to all your requests.
I will not accept that you objectify my dignity.
I hope you realize the chance you have had in meeting me.
I speak directly to all human beings.
Do not feel targeted by the bluntness of my words.
I wear no mask.
I am neither a seducer nor a romantic.
I have never subscribed to these deceitful postures.
I still believe in love, in truth, in equality, in loyalty, and in justice, even though I know that the human heart venerates lies, greed, deceit, cruelty, perfidy, arrogance, selfishness, pettiness, hatred, jealousy, covetousness, contempt, and humiliation.
I am not afraid of solitude; that is why I tell you what I think without filters, while remaining respectful of your humanity.
I know where I come from.
I know what I want.
I know what I have to do, if God allows it.
So either we are truly together, or we are not.
