When you bear your soul to someone, what do you expect?
Will they see what you want to show them?
Probably not. They will see what they want to see and not the
whole.
They will, depending on how they feel, about you or life in general,
look for the parts. They will find the dark parts and tell you how
foul you are. They will find the red of you angers, or the greens of
your envies.
But your soul in not a rainbow, white light split into colors. It is
whole, the way you are, not the parts of you. It is more than
the sum of the parts.
When you find someone that will look at the soul and tell you
truth of the total of what they see.
Then. You have found a friend.
