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.
