Doubting Others' Intentions

How come we question the love from the people that love us most?
It's not accountability.
It's something we convince ourselves that is a "calling to more",
whatever that may mean.

Maybe we all just push everyone away for no reason at all.
Maybe we disguise this by pulling people close, then push them away.
Maybe we are handicapped to being perfect and we are totally ignorant.
Maybe humans have no reason to be trusted because they are not perfect.
Maybe we have decided not to love because love seems to always end or fade.
Maybe we try to test others' love so we know it's "real".

Or, maybe we need to say the hell with everything that prevents love from occurring.
And, maybe we need to stretch ourselves out to others over and over and over again--
Just assuming that the good in their hearts is true.

Because, all of the reasoning to not do so seems to be making me depressed, lonely, and pessimistic about this life, world, and purpose here.

Shalom.
