Maybe I am not in the right frame of mind to be writing this post, but after a long period of writers block the answer to the above statement just hit, previously eluding me in its meaning (or what I perceive it to mean; after all the meaning of art is in the eye of the beholder, or listener in this case, despite what the artist intended).
Supposing it could work both ways; the actions or words of someone trying to hide something for instance, be it sinister or completely innocent, may mean for the rest of us that they don't care, are nonchalant, or they think little of something of great importance. However this might not be what they are wanting to SAY. Confused?
Now supposing the other way, someone's actions or words doing the complete opposite. They are an open book, tell you maybe too much and simply appear to be of complete moral standing. Do these actions say what they mean? Usually yes, but we are curious beings and as they say, you never REALLY know someone. Two words: Tiger Woods.
Seeing other people's sagas unfold over the last few weeks have made me think about this, and the conclusion I have come to is...truth. Good old fashioned truth. Don't withhold your thoughts, if something is bothering you tell someone, don't pretend everything is fine. And on the other hand if you want someone to know something, whatever it is, tell them. Don't be nonchalant. You don't know how long they'll be around and you don't know if you'll get hit by a bus when you leave the house. Don't assume the worst in someone right away, give them the benefit of the doubt; but at the same time simply tread carefully.
Won't someone lend me a helping hand!
