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.
