I think, after a night of pondering, that I would have to disagree
I don't think I am simple enough to only have three categories
In fact, every person gives me different feelings, just as they should
And if what was said was true, then what category would be you?
For every person has made me sad, or angry, and every person has made me happy too
And I've never, ever, found a person to be evil, or purely bad in my eyes
And I'd say that I am fairly forgiving, given the circumstances
And just because one person in my life has made me permanently weary
Does not mean that is some category my mind drops people in
I can't think of one person I hate, at all, in fact, I love every person
And I don't think I am that simple of a person, to only have three categories either
And I wonder what category (if we are going by the proposed system)
You would fall into, since, you've made me cry and very sad,
But somehow make me happy and calm as well?
I would say that people, in my mind, are too complex to be categorized
I could not put two people in the same category, they just don't match
And I certainly think that I am more trusting and forgiving than people think
Perhaps my circumstances have made me even more so
And I do not think that people can be broken down and analyzed
To where their mind, in someone else's eyes, is plain to see,
Therefore I don't think that my mind, which I know all too well
Can be broken down by someone into a mere few sentences
For I couldn't write an encyclopedia that would describe you well enough,
Just as I could not do the same for any other person
And I know, trust me, your aim was not to dehumanize or break me down
And I know I took this to heart, but trust me you would too,
I just am not simple enough to have three categories to describe how I feel about people.
This is no attack, nor is it a subtweet. It's a direct statement of my opinion on your opinion of my minds way of dealing with people. I think i could never categorize people. At all. I can't think of two people in the same category. And I could never have a category of "bad people who once they do wrong are never forgiven", because I could not tell you one person I would put in that category. And that leaves two more, the people who make me "happy and could do no wrong", and the "bad people I try to fix but never could". I don't think anyone is evil or bad, and I certainly have never thought of someone who could do no wrong in my eyes. People to me cannot be categorized because they are a concoction, and I tried real hard last night to categorize people and I could not do it. I just do not think I am a simple thinker like that, and I disagree with the assessment. Obviously I'm not angry, and obviously everyone anayalzes people in their mind. I just disagree.
