Just a Thought

Sometimes you have to sacrifice an important part of your life just to *survive* in this world. Why? What else is there when you don't feel anything, you are living in the sense that you are breathing, your five senses are working, you move around, you pretend that you are fine but the reality is different. You may look fine to others but emotionally you are dead. You don't feel anything, you don't care about anyone or anything. You smile , not because you are happy or something, but only because you have to, so that people may not think that you are arrogant. You want to cry but you cannot, because people would think that you are crying over nothing.

People, People, People. What are they? Who are they? Why does a person have to take care of what *others* are thinking or will think and not what he/she feels? Why one has to say or do or think what others want and not what he/she wants? Others' satisfaction is more important than self satisfaction.

We cannot do anything which, though morally and ethically right, is against the *society*. The society which has its own rules, right or wrong. If you go against the society you will be termed as rebel, crazy and what not. You will not be accepted by the society, by the people. One has to pay a high price just to be different. But not everyone can afford to do so. Some do what they feel is right and don't care. But there are some who, even if they are thinking right, cannot do anything because, if they are rejected then it will be very difficult for them to survive in the society. Where will they go?

All of this has to change. One cannot live completely bound by the so called norms, values and laws of the society: norms, values, laws, some of which do not have any justification of their existence at all. They are there and they have to be followed. Why should it be like this? Every thing that humans make for themselves has to have a justification of being there. You cannot have something for the heck of just having it. You don't have to follow something because it has to be followed.

People should have the right of being different and they should be allowed to justify their behaviour...
