Thinking beyond infatuation

Life is too short for rehearsal, sometimes it becomes difficult to undue the path one is taking in life as a result of the decision they chose to make.  As human beings we are generally emotional and sometimes our emotions tend to overwhelm us to the extent of not thinking through the actions we end up taking. Imagine you have just meet someone in your life whom you are attracted to but hardly know anything about them, with an introduction and some little familiarity with that person you decide to put your trust in them simply because of their looks, not forgetting the flattery first impression you might receive from them. What happens if they turn out to be less than you expected or they end up messing your life up simply because you put all your trust in them? It is hard to tell someone’s intentions since they can easily conjure up a new personality aimed at luring you into a trap while they hide their true identity. Since it is difficult to detect such traits in a person, whether it is a marriage partner one is looking for or simply a friend to share life’s happiness and be there for each other in times of sorrow, we should not let the way we feel for such people cloud our judgment.  It is important to keep in mind that any decision we choose to take while interacting with others might change our lives either positively or make us dread the day those people entered our lives. This does not mean that trusting other people is a bad idea, get to know them first, don’t become ignorant of their past by depending on what they selectively choose to expose to you. Another thing is that before taking a big step in life with someone else you should get the facts straight; don’t make the mistake of putting you life on the line in the name of love. It’s better to be safe than to blindly depend on a persons appearance and the way they present themselves to you.
