Morris is re-constructing

Morris used to be such a vulnerable, trusting person. Everything was taken at face value, not questioned. That led to much heartbreak on many occasions.
Despite that, all these years later, Morris still believes, still gets heartbroken. Still laughs and trusts... Is that a bad thing? Is it stupid"? Should Morris not trust, not believe because people lie and disappoint?

I say no, as long as one can accept the pain that comes with believing. I say dare to believe. Sometimes, it's okay to be trusting in the face of all the lies. Sometimes, maybe life's better lived being so naive. Isn't that better than hating? Better that I say, than jaded and cold. Just hope that that tired heart is big enough to hold a world of disappointment along with the joy that comes when people do what they say they will.

Here's to believing, Morris. Here's to hope... to not surrendering to anger or despair. Stay Morris. Stay hopeful. Stay true. Believe in the inherent goodness of humanity. Believe in yourself. No matter what others do, believe in your own good self.

Slante.
