People of Many shades

One of the most difficult people to live with are those whom you cannot tell who they really are or what they really want. Double standard people. People of many shades. You cannot tell their real intentions or what they really feel about you. I believe it will be much easier to live or co-exist with someone if you knew who they are or what their intentions are. That way, you are well able to move around them freely and easily.

People of many shades or double standard people are difficult to please. The difficulty in pleasing those lies in the fact that you cannot tell who or what they are; in order to make provision for that ‘who’ or ‘what’. You can only try to do something and hope that it meets their expectation. Most often than not, expectations are never met. And if you are the kind that worries a lot when someone is not happy or pleased with you, you end up in a state of constant worry. This could leave you depressed.

People of many shades or double standard people are difficult to love. The difficulty in loving them again lies in the fact that you cannot tell who or what they are in order to love them the way they may want. You can decide to go heaven or earth and East or West in loving them and still be told you have not loved enough. Most often than not, they usually do not appreciate your love because your love might have not met their expectations. And if you are the kind whose heart breaks easily because of the rejection it receives, you would end up in a state of constant worry. This could equally leave you depressed.

People of many shades or double standard people are difficult to let go. The difficulty in letting go is not that you cannot do without them. At least with time, you will get over them. The difficulty lies in the fact that they will not let you go. They will rather cling to you and make you think that they cannot live without you. Knowing your emotional weakness, they will manipulate you. They will use your emotional weakness; the fact that you are so much concerned about their well-being, to manipulate you. They will hold you hostage and keep you in a continuous cycle of their double standards or many shades.

If only people could just say what they wanted and be whatever they wanted, nobody will have to go through the hands of double standard people or people with many shades. If only those we love could, at least, reciprocate the love to us or better still register what exactly they feel, then nobody will have to deal with double standard people or people with many shades.

How I wish I could descend into the minds of those people and decipher what goes on there, then I will be well positioned to handle all such people and play along with their games. Then, I will not fall prey to their schemes but skillfully maneuver my way out of them all.

How I wish I could also be a double standard person or person with many shades. Then I could relate properly with like-minded people and dance to their tune too.

But in all of these, love continues to conquer all!
