Things that matter are not easy. Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you’re friends is easy. Being friends is not.

About This Quote

People can be easy to fool. In fact, some people are so easy to fool that they don’t even realize it! They aren’t sure if they have been taken advantage of or deceived, so they say the first thing that comes to mind. They nod their head and agree with a statement that is completely untrue. They flirt and say whatever others want to hear. Then, when others think they have been had, the person who spoke the untruths walks away with a smile on their face, thinking they have made a new friend.
