I should have started playing these mind games a long time ago.

Today I’ve been playing a game. And in this game, I want to figure out who I’m talking or listening to. And so when I say something, I’m paying attention to what these people are saying. I’ve figured out that people are more than what we make of them. And that even if we tried to debunk them as much as we can, the variables are just too many. The biggest variable pertains the fact that you will never, ever know a person in his or her entirety just by looking at them.

Through this practice I’m cultivating a more present mind. Since I don’t know what the hell the person is going to say next and what I myself will say, I might as well pay a little more attention.
