Of turtles and puppies

Free in office and for lack of better things decided to clean up the mail box....

Of all the intended cleaning that was to happen, all I ended up doing was reading old conversations and smiling away at the innocence and liveliness and brute honesty of thoughts exchanged...

In one such conversation, I hit upon the place where I was vehemently trying to oppose having a turtle as a pet.... now any sane person would have understood that the person on the other side was trying to take my case by suggesting to keep turtles but here I was all animated and sure to not 'paalo' a turtle and taking it all seriously ;) ......

Whatever the conclusion to that chat, what matters is how gullible and stupid I can get at times...... This has often led to tears and watersheds but at times it has also led to heartbreaks, dip in faith, loss of respect and or even loss of precious friends.....

And at other times, this has led me to hold onto things and words which are best forgotten and lost..... words that add jealousy, dissapointment, pain and all negative thoughts to one's existence..... thoughts and instances that stay put and refuse to let you move on and enjoy the beauty that engulfs this world.....

But then, haven't I cherished it for all the innocence that it brings ....... the fact that you believe and take people on their face value, on words that they have spoken and on intentions and feelings and kind words they have for you... (they might still be fooling around and saying good words in jest but it nevertheless gives you a kick ... ;) )

So all said and done.... maybe this gullibility should be let to stay,,, what say ;) ???

P.S. I am wondering why i started with the title 'turtles and puppies' but guess will let it stay..... (for sake of arousing interest ;))
