Born Yesterday

I actually have been meaning to post this for a bit but it actually came up again.

It seems like I put off this "Born Yesterday" vibe. You know, the I can be taken advantage of because I am an idiot or am really slow.

This has manifested itself in some things being told to me. They are all really far fetched and I find myself incredulous that people expect me to believe this stuff. First of all, that's not a cool thing to do. I think people should be honest (no matter the consequences) and I certainly try to apply this to myself. I am certainly one who thinks that a half-truth is also a lie. But second of all, if you're going to do it, don't you want to make it believable? The ones I have been told have been so transparent that honestly they insult my intelligence :-p

A lot of times it's difficult to just say you're sorry and even harder to say you're right to someone else. Why is it that we have such a hard time admitting that we're wrong? It is so much easier to just push it away then be hard on ourselves though, isn't it?

And hey, if that's my soapbox... well, then it is.
