????

everyone is a storehouse. a storehouse of ambitions. of frustrations and depressions. they wear a different garb. some sport a tattoo, some a beard, some an undetectable expression. they essay a variation in their sense of humour, and sense of panic. in the loudness of their speech. or in the silence of their protest. in the exhibit of their mood swings, and in the withholding of their feelings. in the amount of attention they attract, or try hard not to. in the experiences they have lived. each has a story. which they are hiding from the other. from the world. because, the moment you tell your story, you are out in the open. naked. putting yourself on a dais to be scrutinised. to be post mortemed. and it is so much easier to post mortem others rather than allow others to post mortem me.

No matter how hard we try we still scrutinise people around by constantly judging every action & expression..Why should we be spared then?

why should we be spared? it sounds like a sigh......a highly pessimistic view and at the same time like the truth of life.

d moment we stop scrutinising people around, we're stopping others from scrutunising self. and if someone still does, it can be kicked to eternal obscurity.

Cynical cynical cynical. You need some anti-depressents, the whole lot of you. The world sucks as long as you think it does.

Remember - The cowdung always smells good when there is food being cooked on it.
