How many times have you observed
people in their private spaces
alone and being their honest selves?
There’s an ease or a disquiet
consuming the way their body moves
We’ve probably only watched ourselves
in those private moments and we know
how different we would behave
if there was another person
amidst our environment
so the question arises
do we really know anyone at all?

I guess it depends on if they are aware they’re being watched as well. 🙂

That’s also true. But once you’re with a person for long, they start being their true self if you’re as well.

I can never actually know another person, it is impossible. As for knowing ourselves, that is a working progress and even that can surprise us e.g. when a people find the strength of mind and body to lift a car off of a child.

Do we really know anyone? Especially ourselves? It’s a life-long quest… Given the fact that we’re constantly changing, and so are others, it’s quite the challenge, isn’t it?
