I've actually existed long enough on earth to know that sometimes **"YES"** can mean **"NO"** and this might seem queer but it's a statement of reality. In truth, sometimes people are antithetical in nature this means that you could be friends with someone for a long period of time and you'd share secrets, moments and facts but in totality you don't really means so much to them the way you might've imagined it. Sometimes what we see if often underated, we should strive to bank on what they can do, that means that we need to interact with their actions, place Faith on their doability rather than futuristic promises. Let me tell you, promises are overrated and there's nothing like debt about promises anymore. In the old days we'd hear of someone saying *you can count on my words* that's because the power of words held a lot of value and I'm sure you're wondering what's changed? 

Truth is, I've seen people who changed overnight, becoming something they're not and overidding the things they were. Needless to say we can't hold people accountable when they say things under pressure because these days people say things in other to get sex, money, favour or employment from others and when you dwell on these things, then you're actually going to be disappointed, when our believe can't be backed, then it's bogus, ill centered and unworthy and when we get to this certain situations in life, it becomes clear that affirmative and negative aren't really a statement of denial or acceptance, without a doubt hearts have been broken and relationships have been shattered, dreams have been killed all because people focus on the words rather than the people who are saying these things.


I have been disappointed too much in life, and while I hold Faith that disappointment is a blessing in disguise, I also think that blessings are things that have been patented by altruism backed by hard-work and love and these itself are more like assurance that's unconditional irrespective of the outcome of futuristic events. The truth is that people say I'm a pessimist but when you look at the thin line between pessimism and optimism you'd see that the difference is experience, factual experience of how the world truly works by all means. I've lived by building my own luck and if an external luck shines on me then I'd take it because when you begin to see the gesture of people as ephemeral, a little bit aggrandizing and uncertain that's when you begin to build things if your own which you can lean on.


Like in the beginning paragraph, I'd still say it again **Yes** can mean *No* and the only time it doesn't is if there are factual actions to back it up. I'm not saying you shouldn't trust anyone who says *yes* all I'm saying is, quicksand looks beautiful and no Iota of look will actually tell you that you'd sink when you step on it and that's the real fact behind the possibility that it's beautiful on the surface. True rigidity despite how it looks or seems is what you should chase therefore people are like the looks of a quicksand, and their core essence is that there isn't a plausible deniability that you'd sink when you try to explore them. Don't be be pessimistic and don't be optimistic maintain a balance and look for actions, check out for things that'll stay long and look for their durability, the world is more shallow than you envisage and the reason you don't know is you haven't experienced it all.
