I have been a little amused by the readiness in every individual (me included) to talk about others. We live in a society and there is a need to share opinions and thoughts. But sometimes it gets on my nerves and I don’t think anyone is alien to this situation…rather sometimes we create such a situation and don’t take ownership…oops!! it’s getting too relative now…that’s the fun in ‘Living’ I guess!
"Look at that guy he looks so funny... That girl is dressed in such a skimpy outfit/revealing dress, she is inviting trouble! Gone are the days when we had a conservative culture!! We are getting too westernized!! He/She has ‘Jumped’ 7 jobs in 12 years, he/she is unstable, it is going to impact his/her career."
"Our government is good for nothing… This job sucks… Dhoni made such stupid decisions… we must stop going to Australia… Zoo-Zoo ads are too good… the boss is too aggressive and unreasonable… He/she has been trying to find a job for 6 months now but must realize that there has to be a compromise…why can’t these beggars who are physically well find some work?! This book talks a lot about its author… People who don’t know how to drive should not be driving…look how easily these guys break the rules…"
Complaints, Complaints and more complaints!
We perceive so clearly and we judge so easily! Looks like we have a solution for every problem and an opinion on anything… We are so Discerning, Discriminating, Civil and Knowledgeable! And What do we do about it?! We return to the superficial comforts of our homes and claim to be duty minded about family and Job!!
Ever wondered about this?!
How many of us have always ranked first in every class, every subject at school/college?
How many of us at job have been promoted every year with a 100% growth?
How many of us have excelled in sport and won 1st prize in any event all the time?
Have you ever written a book, a best seller? Do you know what it takes to be an author?
Are we literate or educated?
Can we provide a job/livelihood to the ‘Physically-well Beggars’ or all the beggars?
Are we successful in maintaining every relationship that we form?
Can we run our household on a budget without deviations?
Can you live happily?
Can you define success, good, bad, ugly, beauty, wisdom, right, wrong etc?
Do we trust all our friends and relatives?
Do you trust your society?
Are YOU Friendly, Trustworthy, Dependable and Honest?
Don’t you crave for status and fame?
Are you ready to be vulnerable in public?
When we are so (Hypo)critical, when we see clearly, do we understand that what we see is through our lens (Biases)? Do we realize that the negative we see in others is probably a reflection of what is inside us?
It takes one to know another! (I don't claim to be an Exception!!)
May be we ARE what we SEE in others!
