Midnight Musings

Oh how I long to be a person who could be content with blissful ignorance.
The more I become aware, the less I want to know...and the more I need to know.
It becomes increasingly difficult for me to sit back and not speak out.  I know that there are people I care about, people I'm friends with, people whose company I enjoy, who I also happen to disagree with on certain issues.  So I avoid these things, for fear of offending, alienating, boring, or in any way turning people away. 
Where is the balance though? 
I like to be liked by people...I'm not one to "rock the boat".  In fact, I do my best to avoid conflict.  I try not to piss anyone off.  So sure, I haven't made many enemies...if any...and I typically get along with just about everyone.  Does this make me socially irresponsible? 
I'm always curious what people I know think I believe.  I tend to think that, when not given any reason to believe otherwise, people attribute or project their own opinions or beliefs onto their friends.  It's funny, because there is NO WAY this could be true of me.  I have been friends with way too many people with extraordinarily diverse ideas and beliefs about things.  I can't possibly agree with them all, right?
So, what's my point?  I don't have one.  It's late, I'm tired, I'm rambling.... 
I guess this might be a bit of a warning that I may start speaking up a bit more (as in earlier posts) about things.  Who knows?  I guess you'll just have to keep reading to find out.  *evil laughter* 
goodnight.
