The facade

Sometimes you just don't expect something to happen, or you have this feeling but you just say your being paranoid. One day I will learn to listen to my intuiton.
What is worth losing a potentially priceless friendship? How much sacrifice is too much in return for knowledge? How much do you let slide, how much do you let someone get away with? I believe in living life on the edge, but some games are dangerous to play and the prize may not be worth the price. But what if it is? What if you put everything on the line in hopes that your gamble will prove worth the risk?
What secrets are too dangerous to keep to yourself? And when is it better to keep your mouth shut?
How far would you let things go in return for self gratification? How much damage would you allow to be done because it makes you feel good about yourself?
What is wrong? Is there such a thing? Are there any black and whites? Are there any wrongs and rights? Or is there simply integrity and the lack thereof. Is there simply people living their lives and following their own paths, regardless of social standards and stigma or their fear of how its going to affect other people?
How many lies does one have to live in order to create another's happiness? How miserable does one have to be to ensure the peace of mind of someone else? Can one person truly make another happy and if so, at what cost to one's self?
Well it seems, my love, I have not forgotten the questions.
