FRIENDSHIP DENIED

It's sad to see that many people miss out on the connection and appreciation that comes with sharing their life story with their audience because they cant see past their frustrations. Their fears restricting their heart to open to the difference of others opinions, leaving them with only one option to treat others as enemy's of their own beliefs whether they agree with the current discussion or not. It's too hard to see beyond their prejudices especially when they have already made their mind up. Their perspective now blocked by  the unforgiving sunlight of debate, now afraid to enjoy the rays of light beyond their assumptions. Every opportunity taken to stamp in their own version of the truth, removing their ability to listen and trading it for conflict. Their imagination running off with the logic they normally held proud because lateral thinking can not remain open if your mind is closed.
