Faces that we have, masks that we wear and games that we play...... aaah it is difficult to recognise people nowadays. The people I see around me everyday, are not real people, they are all playing a role, a part in a game. People I know today, are the ones I don't recognise tomorrow. It made me wonder - WHY?? WHY are we not real people, why do we have to play a part to survive?
Then I realised that the answer lies in my question itself. TO SURVIVE. Right!! Darwin said - Survival of the fittest. Darwin would have changed his theory had he been born in today's world. Today we do all possible things to survive. We lie, we pull down others, we wear a mask, we back stab, we smile at someone and plan to ruin his/ her life. Where are we heading to? What are we gaining from all this? The negativity is engulfing everyone. We are fake, we were not born fake but we have turned ourselves into that. We are teaching our kids to be fake. I heard a mother telling her son - "do not smile at strangers, all are kidnappers here!!" I was aghast! Yes, I know we need to make a child understand about his/ her surroundings. But do we need to tell him that anyone and everyone he meets everyday are kidnappers? This is one of the reason why we do not see smiling kids nowadays. We see kids who are calculating every step, measuring everything. We have stalled their childhood and made them adult. What values can they give back to the society? What can they teach their kids?
I love to smile at people, talk to strangers, make friends..... and I always meet people who try to judge me. Why? Why not you lead your own life and let me lead mine?
I refuse to play a role and wear a mask and so I am not liked by people. But whatever people say, do, or however they behave, I am not going to change to please them. I am not born to please others, I am here to enjoy my life...please myself and leave the world as a happy soul. Please try to come and ruin it and you will be so super disappointed!! I promise that!
