Just because you are willing to look past something doesn't mean that it isn't there. There are many ways to be fooled. But the main ways are to either believe in what isn't valid, or to refuse to accept what is actually true. To avoid being fooled we have to be willing to go with our gut, and avoid the warning signs of people who are solely forming relationships with us for their own personal come-ups and interests.

If we refuse to see things for what they really are, even when we realize what life is about then we also refuse to live the best life we may possibly live.

We should make a feverish attempt daily to gain wisdom everyday. We should make great attempts to understand what role the people who say that they are with us actually do play in our lives, and we should also steer clear of acting foolish and being fooled!
