Such coarse sensibilities, yet such nauseating lives.
- Cyrus Merchant.
We always give so much importance to ourselves ...but do we care about others in the same way?
Little things annoy us...we vent out our frustration on others...do we care if we've ruined another person's day.
We think of our convenience, even fight for it...but we don't bother to think that if life seems unfair to us it maybe the same or even worse for the other person.
We do things for others and expect so much in return...when we do not get anything from the same people we're so disappointed...we resolve not to do anything henceforth .
We want people to be there for us and understand us...are we there for them?..do we understand them?...we think we do, but do we really..without expecting anything in return??
We label people by the clothes they wear and by the people they talk to...we don't know what they are going through or why they do what they do...maybe its easier to label than to understand or to accept them for who they are.
We ask for opinions...yet we are not ready to accept the opinion we asked for, if it doesn't match with our opinion. We are so affected by criticism, we get offended so easily, we take things personally even if it wasn't meant that way.
We pray that we dont run into trouble, we want an easy life...all lessons may not be easy...when will we pray that we grow and understand the fullness of life. One setback and we are shattered...how fragile we are...dreaming big but lacking courage to fight for our dreams...we give up so easily...it only shows we don't deserve it.
We don't reach out to people, we always think of it as "going out of our way"...why don't we make it our way ??
We smile, we can see the smiles on peoples faces too...but if we bother to look in the eye, we'll see their tears...but our tears blur our sight.

The thing is we tend to take our lives too seriously..Its like when a friend is in trouble we have to give suggestion/ "Simple" solutions to all the problems..but when we are in the same situation we somehow forget how to think "logically/pragmatically"... Its just human nature to criticize everything we ourselves do..I think we (read you) are too hard on ourselves...When you say you want people to be there for us...I think what we actually need is for you to be there for yourself...
After reading the post let me give you things you should do:
1. Take out time to dream about your life
2. Take out time to live your life
3. Take out time to be you!!
The world seems to be more and more selfish...everywhere around, its just "me me me". We really dont care if in any way our selfishness affects someone else. But, when it comes to us or our loved ones, if we have to bear the consequences of someones selfishness it seems so bitter.
Dont you think life would get a lil better if we are less selfish. Im not saying give up on ur life...for the sake of others...all im saying is the world is getting very selfish...quality of life can improve if it is not this way.
When I say - We want people to be there for us and understand us...are we there for them?..do we understand them?...we think we do, but do we really..without expecting anything in return??
...only means we expect ppl to treat us in a way...but do we treat them the way we want to be treated?? And even if we do we expect the same in return..when we do not get what we expect our attitude towards that person changes.
I am there for myself...we all are.
To be honest, I think I have lived enough of my life for someone else.
Now I am tired.
Wd, you know your an exception...in a very nice way..and that makes me happy too.
This post was about life in general, people in general..n a lil bit of me too and what i have come across.
I agree there are many people who live their lives selflessly..this isn't about them or for them.
