The Crust
Does it matter if I said anything at all?
No it does not. Because what is true is always valid despite all the things that we might say and do, whether we are right or wrong. Despite all that we might think and believe, the truth remains unquestionable and indisputable. It remains itself at all times.
Do not be fooled by what you see and hear, and do not be deceived by the crust. Always look deeper and always seek the truth, because only truth can survive, and everything else collapses. We should not mistake deep meanings for superficial ones, we should not judge by the crust. What is the point of a well that is made of gold, but it is empty?
It might be beautiful what we see. But real beauty lies inside, deep inside the heart and mind. And it cannot be reached by the hands, and it cannot be touched. Do not think that we can one day see the truth. Do not think that we might one day be able to phrase it. All of our holy books are wrong, and truth is much deeper. It is deep inside us.
It is very important for me that I reiterate what I consider the basis of our humanity, and without it we degrade down into machines without any feelings: that we are all equal and no one is more human than anyone else despite our heritage, sex and colour. No one is better than anyone else, and despite everything we know, we remain ignorants, that is because everything is relative.
It's not what we say what matters. But what we do.
Sometimes, There are lots of things that we might wish to say, but we can't say them. But this does not matter. Because the truth remains, alive like blood and water. And nothing can extinguish its fire.
You, as my friends, and everyone else, whether I know them or not, and despite my many mistakes, I give you my word again that I will always do my best. And before the first sleep of the new year I tell you: that I accept you as you are, and I already respect you, so do not be changed and do not let my words change you. You are free so be free, and I do not accept to take away any of your freedom. Always go as deep as you can, because only there will we find the truth.
And again I say: Do not be fooled by my words. Always look deeper. Always apologise for your mistakes.
So does it matter? No it doesn't, because it doesn't make a difference.

The Crust 2: 2018-07-01
If you were truly a friend*, and if I was interesting to you, then I grab your hands begging you to listen to what I have to say**:
Ask yourselves: when you go to Tesco to buy ice-cream, and you put the ice-cream in a bag: do you throw the bag in the bin and eat the ice-cream, or do you throw the ice-cream in the bin and you eat the bag?
And again, ask yourselves: before you eat an apple, do you peel the apple, throw the crust away and put the core on a plate; or do you throw the core away and eat the crust?
This is what I mean when I say that what matters lies inside. And that we should always seek the truth if we wanted to be truly happy. And I can generally say that this applies to everything we see and hear***.
Even though that some people might be in close in proximity to us, but others might be in fact closer to us than they are. So it isn't always about distance, and in this case, distance would be the crust, and the truth isn't as it seems. This is why we shouldn't judge by the crust, we shouldn't judge only by the things that we see, because we are unable to see the core. And what's inside is the truth. And truth has the most value, and it is happiness.
(Reading the footnotes isn't necessary).
* Here, I make a distinction between friends, and the facebook list of 'friends', in the second case, 'friends' might mean the people who we have gotten to know and who live in the same city as we do.
** I am no philosopher nor am I an ethicist. So it is a possibility that I might be making a grave mistake.
*** Of course, I am making a judgement. And there are always special cases, it always depends on the circumstances and conditions.
Everything a human being produces, whether in voice or action, be it a sentence, a poem, a drawing, a painting, a symphony, every word is a judgement.
Every feeling we try to express or every object we try describe is so complicated that it is impossible to describe accurately, or let me say: impossible to judge accurately. This is how unique the world is: no judgement is perfect, and there is always room for improvement.
Theoretically speaking, and because of the complexity of the world, it would take all of the particles of the universe, to accurately describe and judge a single particle at a single instant. Which will change in the second instant, to the third.. etc. So it is impossible for us as human beings to describe things accurately, because we are limited. The best we can do, is to use words to describe things that are way more complex than we imagine them to be.
But be ware: our words can be so accurate that they would be able to describe, say, the majority of the truth, for example when we say: 'this cube is red' and everyone in the room agrees. But when things get more complicated, the truth becomes more difficult to phrase and describe. It becomes more difficult to judge, for example, to judge the behaviour of someone in a certain situation.
The closer to the truth our judgement is, the more right we are.
