Two sides
Everything has two sides of advantage and disadvantage. This is true of my growing capacity to notice authenticity and inauthenticity in people who may or may not seem very genuine in their expression. The upside is the resonance that occurs; the downside is the disappointment that occurs.
Most people have the ability to express care and concern. For some, it’s a strategy for control - for others its a genuine and selfless expression. It’s a good day when the difference is obvious. Bottom line: we need to take responsibility for being wise or surprised.
