Have you ever thought about what it would be like to truly know someone? Know absolutely everything about them; their past, their thoughts, feelings and emotions, and everything else that it takes to make up a person. I've been thinking about this lately, and I don't know if its even possible. Even as you grow old with someone, can you know everything about them? Know what they are thinking in that moment, or what they are going to do in the next. I think that you can come close, but never TRULY know someone to fullness.
The same goes for yourself. I still don't know everything about myself, and I don't know if I ever will. We are continuously growing and changing. I still surprise myself with some thoughts, some words spoken, and actions taken. I'm continually questioning who I am and who I want to be as an individual. And that will always be evolving.
But isn't that what keeps things interesting?
If I knew my friends or a person that I was interested in fully, it would get boring. The relationship would not grow, and things would get stagnant.
And maybe if I knew myself fully, I would be able to pursue what I wanted in life. But then I think that once again, I would not continue to grow, and things that I was interested in would get boring. I couldn't continue to pursue new talents or gifts.
I think that growing and maturing is essential to life and the shaping of an individual. If we knew everything about ourselves or others, that would simply not happen.
And where's the mystery in that?
