Superficial World

Nothing disappoints you more than a shallow person. Nowadays people around find it so hard and difficult to stand up for them selves and let the world know, that what sums them up. At times it looks like that life is all about pleasing others. Right from the time one is born till they die, all they do is delight everybody’s quandary. A child tries pleasing their parents because of some candy or toy promised to them. A student is trying to please the teacher, an employee tries to please the employer, wife wants to please the husband and so on and so forth. In this bargain we forget ourselves and by the time we reflect back and ponder we realize that time has passed and it’s too late.
Now what makes one do that? How come a child learns so early in his life that pleasing makes way? Is it the human nature which is imbibed and just requires polishing over the period of time? And suddenly a day comes when we want to get into an evaluation mode and feel we have achieved enough, seen too much, gone to too many places but now what? At the end of the day if we take a stock of the real people who matters and can make a mark are very few or don’t exist at all.
When will the time come when people will learn to stand for them selves and won’t feel susceptible by their very own existence? Why are we afraid to ask for something that we deserve and always want to play safe?
The answers can be various but is it worth it? That’s one question we need to constantly ask our selves and we will be surprised to know that we all have the answers but seek an indefinite plurals of life and its underlying meanings with a smile on the face..

Grand thought consicely put, and though drifting topics, it manages to hold my interest. and the question you have asked.. hmm... agree that it is worth asking.. but what happens if the identity we have choosen, the identity which seemingly depends solely on others, about pleasing others is the actual identity.. what then...
would we then say that teh question was answered wrongly or ....?

Now these are two different things. At times we want to please some one because the person matters to us, just by seeing one smile on his/her face makes our day. But what i am referring to is the superfcial ways of so many of us to make way for people who just dont hold any importance. We all have to live like that, agreed, but lets not forget to stand up for ourselves and raise our voices for things that are right.

i agree with your point. What i was trying to say was there might just be people who do lie their lives like that and there they are not acting but they are just like that...
anyway's that generally holds good only for arguments.
i know.... btu if you go back to my busy and comeback here... there would be a contradiction...
you stay busy doing what you want to do without bothering how others are going to feel and there you loose human touch and in your articals case you are doing what others want you to do...
btu i guess we still are loosing human touch..
hmmm nice point to ponder on....
