Anything and Everything.

I think I’ve postponed this blog enough and now finally, after ages I’m going to be writing something. I don’t know what yet, but whatever comes to my head would be jotted here, to be precise. All this while I felt I had writer’s block or something, I couldn’t come to a conclusion on what I was going to write, so today I don’t have a specific topic. On most of the occasions, I do or maybe not.

Something I noticed much lately every time I browsed my Facebook homepage was kids trying to know the “secret to fame”. I mean there were literally juniors asking people how to get popular. 'Popularity' this single word definitely has a lot of significance in the modern life of today doesn't it? What not can people do to get popular? To what extent can one go? Popularity like any other materialistic thing existing in this world has ill-effects, check. The more you get popular, the more people get to know you and the more they get to know you, the more the reason to talk about you and more the reason to talk about, more the bad name you acquire. (I don’t even know whether you guys got what I just said.) And that my friends, is exactly what is the life cycle of your much awaited popularity. So what is it about being popular that people like? Random strangers on the road, asking whether it's really you, having a thousand followers behind you (like they're playing follow the leader) or the dreadful amount of gossip and rumors that come with it. I really do not get the intimacy between teenagers and popularity. There's this sudden urge all of a sudden to get 400 likes on a picture, a sudden urge to be in the cool kid list. One thing that popularity does do to people is turn them into to brats and snobs. It's really hard to judge who your real friend is when you have a swarm of them.

In today’s world people under estimate you so much.

Some people leave me flabbergasted and no, not because of their flair or something excellent they've done, but their audacity to hurt people's feelings. It doesn't matter how many times you have told someone to change their old habits, become a changed person but at the end of the day, you're the target. The level of hate and insult a person receives nowadays (I MEAN LITERALLY EVERYONE!) is indescribable. Sometimes when someone tries to insult me indirectly or you know tries to make me feel lesser than them, I just want to scream out to them and say HA! YOU'RE GOING TO HELL! But then I stop myself, because I'm no one to decide anything. I do not have the right to decide other people's fate. Who are we to decide anything for anyone? I see the news where people kill people because of jealousy, because they want to teach other people a lesson and seriously, who are we to teach other people a lesson, when we ourselves are at wrong. We are not superior ourselves.

I'm sure most of us have had that one time when we've said to ourselves, how come the bad people always gets everything they want and you're sitting there and thinking of all the good things you've done for people. Slap yourself right now! No, I'm serious do it! Just remember one thing, the bad things you've done is twice the good you've done for anyone. We always consider ourselves as saints and everyone about us as the demons, well guess what? They're imaging you as the demon themselves; because you might think you've done all the good in the world, but you haven't and maybe you don't comprehend you've done something bad, hurt someone's feelings etc but they do.

Honestly, it’s like everyone wants to suck the happiness out of your life. No one is happy for anyone in the human race. It’s all just a put up. Like you know, if I had to put a play, I know exactly who to take as the actors for the lead roles, I don’t even need to take an audition because they’re doing it so well in real life, the acting I mean (If you guys did not get it.) It’s like they get contentment out of seeing you in pain and depression (SADISTS!) And that’s why you should stop giving a number two. Jim Morrison once said, “We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.” Like the lesser you care, the happier you are. In my opinion you should really just keep that smile on always, because you know even if you’re having a thousand problems, no one really cares about them apart from you. When you smile through your troubles, it doesn’t only make you stronger than you already are, but it tends to get other people thinking. They try to find ways to get you down, but they’d give up eventually because their plans are not working.

In reality, we're all monsters.

When was the last time you appreciated someone? When was the last time, you had the courtesy to say thank you to someone? Remember those times when our world was not so small, when we used to go out, meet a bunch of new people, have a lot of fun, and acknowledge everyone for they are. What happened to those times? Someone has rightly said, we only remember people for the bad things they've done, never the good. So I want you all to start of small, start off by showing gratitude to the man who drops you home when you take the taxi or the bus, be it the school bus or the RTA, say thank you with a smile and make his day a more contented one, because he must have had an awful day so far, you have no idea how powerful a thank you or a smile is. Try it! 

We're always talking ghastly about others. We're always trying to find faults in others. We're always judging unknown people. And if you say you don't do it, you're lying. Don't you ever wonder how many people around you, must have done the same thing to you? And what hurts more is, when you find out about it. We all try to be as brave as the hulk, trying to show others that it doesn't affect us, let the world keep talking, but in reality, it's affecting you. We live in such a time where, even the closest of the lot cannot be trusted. And take me seriously when I say that. I'm guessing all of have heard of this phrase sometime or the other, 'the ones who look strong aren't really the strongest and the ones who don't look strong, are'. Well that's it, pretty obvious now that everything is opposite of what it seems. The goodie two shoes definitely is hiding a dirty secret. The one, who says she's not a back biter, is the biggest one. We start finding faults in others when we know we're in fault to. 

 
You might have a thousand people following you on Facebook, twitter, tumblr or any other site, but in reality they're only there for the latest “gossip”. Oh you broke up with your boyfriend; let's tell the world about that. I don't get the whole psychology of you "whispering" it to the world, tell you what, on your next birthday I'm gifting you a microphone and some Bose speakers, tell the whole world that way, better option don't you agree? 

 
Nasty world I must say. A world where politicians are having bath in money, a world where people commit suicide because they can’t take the torcher anymore, they just can’t take it anymore. A world where everything comes for a price. A world where there's no smiling anymore because everywhere we go, there's cruelty, selfishness. There seems to be no difference between us humans and animals anymore. No difference between us and the devils anymore. 

 

We stopped looking for monsters under the bed, when we realized they're within us. We're all monsters aren't we? Think about it.
