Truth
How does one know whether or not people are telling the truth?
Ever since I was small, people have always told me that being a ninja meant that you would be a hero, doing great services for the village. No one mentioned that you have to become a murderer, closing your eyes as you give the last strike, willing yourself not to look into those innocent, frightened eyes of your victim. No one mentioned how broken you would feel, knowing that shinobis are no more than tools, used to their utmost before being tossed away.
Guess it's a given. Heroes are no more than worn out shells who are no longer able to think clearly, slaying hordes of people.Too bad people don't tell little kids that.
People also say that being in love is exhilarating. I'm too naive to think otherwise. But to be in love means you have to endure the agony of knowing that your loved one doesn't need you, and frankly, is better off without you. Sure, some people are lucky and find 'true love' within one try. It's those stories that everyone wants to hear, not reality. Most of the time, us humans are divorcing, re-marrying or aching with an emptiness, a void that may very well never be filled. Exhilerating? More like agonizing if you ask me...and of course, no one does.
Are these lies? Or are they simply hidden truths? Illusions of our fantasies, reminds one of genjutsu, doesn't it? A cover up for the nastier, more unpleasant version of life. Like makeup shinobi wear to cover up the many wrinkles that have snuck into view during years of ANBU and such. Like denying the death of a loved one by talking to the air and pretending it's them.
Worlds weren't meant to be perfect. It's just that sometimes, you want it so badly that you lose yourself in the fantasy of it. But of course, no one mentions that, either.
Okay, this one was a complete drabble (once again, written on the spot. I've been doing that a lot for some reason.) There's is no specific character mentioned, but do tell me who you think it is. This is dark, portraying lies and covering up the truth. Yes, it's quite random.
I'm working on my other story still, so don't expect an update TOO soon (but quite soon, still.) About a week or less.
Review! They make me so happy : ) !
