ON MY NEED TO BELIEVE

On my need to believe,
I was lead,
I was played.
Belief does not necessarily make it so.
What we most often call belief is a change of our perception.
Those with genuine minds are always played over by the ingenuine at heart.
For the same measure of belief we give to the truth is the same measure given to that not true.
So, many ingenuine minds play over the genuine.
While belief in the truth makes one better, belief in that which is deception, manipulation makes one sorrowful, regretful.
Thus, belief can mar or make us.
Belief does not make it so, it's our perception that makes it so.
For more important than the number of times we have fallen victim to deception, manipulation is fast and strong we resolve, amend and move on.
We can't continue believing all and can't keep doubting all.
