5  OBVIOUS  SECRETS

Obviously, it’s easier to talk about

someone than to talk to that someone.

Obviously, long before cellphones,

people have been talking to others inside

their mind all day long and all the time -
even when they are with someone else.

Obviously, long before phone cameras, 

people have been taking selfies in every

mirror as well as every shiny surface

they are walking past.

Obviously, strange people get avoided.

As a result, people avoid them even more. Then they become odder and odder.  Then

people avoid them even more and more.

Obviously, when we speak up, we can

expect consequences, as well as some

inconvenient requests for help. So
some people never speak up. Nope -
they just sit there with a soul smirk and
an inward smile - seeing us as, "Stupid!"
