There was a time when we were unafraid. Just babies then, we explored this world. Everything was new and everything was an adventure. We discovered food and love, joy and pain. They were all new and they were all fun. It was only when we grew older that we discovered fear, jealousy and disappointed. We found that hurt could come from something as soft as someone else's words. We became afraid of this new world. All was not well and there were times when we could not have what we wanted.We were disappointed. We found that there are bad people and bad things. We stayed away but wondered about them. Sometimes we ventured towards them. Sometimes we were the bad people. Slowly we accepted that some bad is Ok. That some bad is needed to survive in this big bad world. People lied to us - we discovered distrust. We ourselves were not pristine, and we really meant no harm, yet we are untruthful at times. How then can some one else be all good? We were hurt before and we had lied to protect ourselves, lied to make sure we could survive. How can we believe the words that come from someone else? We do not trust ourselves so how can we trust another?

2 such people meet. Each with his and her own fears, each with his and her own lies. And they look at the other to find love.
