The Illusion People Build About You

I learned something this week. Actually, I relearned it. Because life loves repeating lessons until they stick like gum on your shoe. Don’t trust anyone. Not in a dramatic, paranoid, “everyone is out to get me” way. More like… people are operating from their own limited view, and they will fill in the blanks about you with whatever makes them comfortable. Not what’s true. What’s convenient. People think they know me. They don’t. Not even close. They see pieces. A mood. A […]

A quotation from Wallace Stegner

You can plan all you want to. You can lie in your morning bed and fill whole notebooks with schemes and intentions. But within a single afternoon, within hours or minutes, everything you plan and everything you have fought to make yourself can be undone as a slug is undone when salt is poured on him.

Wallace Stegner (1909-1993) American novelist
Crossing to Safety, ch. 13 (1987)
