I would like to think that everyone is as honorable and honest as they appear to be, but most of us are simply human. We have high ideals and fall far short of them with every step. Not everyone though.
Even though no one is perfect, there are people who truly strive to maintain that perfection and idealistic style that often slips away with the loss of innocence.
Their motives remain pure even as the world bombards them with envy, hate and injustice. Better than child-like, because that implies a lack of knowledge and this is not the case. Intelligent beyond the norm and so empathetic that it is amazing they survive; they become the beacons that show the rest of us how it is done.
Most of us don't see them though and when we do it is often difficult to believe what we see.
My own beliefs, my own inhibitions and character flaws blind me to what is right before my eyes.
Until, if I am very lucky, one day there is a flash of recognition that tears open a whole new way of seeing. A dream that reveals the truth so solidly it carries over into my waking life. A bright spot that flutters before me, shining and leading me along the way as no one else ever has.
Such a moment, such a friend, such an experience leaves me forever changed.
