Knowing What Others Don’t

Person A tells Person B something. Person B tells Person C that very same thing. Person A doesn’t know that person C knows. However, Person C knows Person A’s something.

Depending on how well A, B, and C know each other, as well as the importance of that something, situation changes.

What I realized in the past couple of days… if A, B, and C are that close to one another, then this issue shouldn’t matter at all.

Or, you can look at it this way: A should have gone to C. B, depending on what that something is, as well as the relationship to A and C, should have done something on that something. If not, C wouldn’t know at all. And thus, be living a lie.

It’s like out of one of those sappy movies… or everything made in Korea. How one person knows, but the other person doesn’t know that this person knows. And especially, within a GROUP of friends, I feel as though this really shouldn’t matter at all.

Like… if person A told person B something about himself, and person B goes around telling EVERYONE about those things, A would get upset. However, if C is a close friend to both A and B, and it actually that something pertains to C in some ways, then what the heck? Why didn’t A go straight to C? Why did A have to confide in B when A knew for a fact that A, B, and C are like brothers? However, who is B to say that this was meant to be shared with anyone else at all?

I think it really comes down to wisdom. Sometimes, B is an idiot, as was A to even expect such silly things from B. Or not. Maybe it’s B’s fault, 100%. But when B was handed that something, he had choices. For me, it comes down to discerning how important that something is. Now, this measurement of how important something is differs from people to people… and I think friends are made according to that “importance” scale, as well as many other areas.

Hmm. Lots of chew.
