On a somber note....

We often keep great expectations from others but in the process we fail to comprehend that everyone can make a mistake. Behind the façade of brilliance, there can be a person who dithers, makes mistakes and acts like a complete foolish. And for this very reason I find the word "perfect" actually ‘overrated’. Have you ever thought how fantastically boring a person will become if he meets all the 'set standards’ of the term ‘perfect’ on every aspect of his life?

I always feel that people expect a lot from others and recommend a lot to others. ‘A certain someone should have done this.’, ‘A certain someone could have done better than this.’ WHY !! I find all this completely pointless. But hardly anybody will agree with me on this, I know. What people see, what people interpret is superficial. What lies inside for each one of us is different and of equal essence, not less, not more than anybody else's.

Life is more profound. There are many good things about being the person you are, and one should be thankful for it. There are thousands of people doing the things they are fantastic at. Dancers, singers, writers, poets, philanthropists, managers, entrepreneurs are staring at your face. Businessman cannot mock a dancer for no acumen of doing a business, right? More common examples of successful accomplishments, if you will, are the moms and dads who have given all their life to bring up their kids into good beings. An entire life spent towards realization of a solitary goal or a few goals really proves the worthiness, doesn’t it?

In general, people judge too much based on the more trivial attributes of a person. It’s the coffee cup they look at, and judge, and fail to realize that the coffee being served to you all is just the same. It’s just that some of you have got more expensive cups than others, but how much of a difference does it make as long as the coffee you are having is the same? If this is complied with, then why do people with great coffee-mugs shun those with fractured mugs?

Think.

Goodnight/day
