Subterfuge

I cannot choose my friends for other people. Mostly because they can never truly understand what it is that I see in another person. None of us can do this. Judging each other for the friends we keep is fool hardy.

At its best it may stop someone from seeing a dangerous person, but at its worst and all those places in between it usually just creates subterfuge; lies born from deceit and fear, or half lies creating camouflage for something that would be better off out in the light.
