One of the things that surprises me most is the need to "Be the most popular one " around . Why does it matter to us as human beings what other fellow beings think of us? Why cant we be satisfied with who we are ? Why do we need that extra NOD from others? Why does it matter " If I have left my mark in history or not"?
Often Wonder if we are not in a mad race of getting Noticed at all times..?? When will it be possible for us to be happy with who we are.. not pretending.Just being plain happy with ourselves, not caring what others think of us.
What surprises me even more is to what lengths people can go to get NOTICED. How many of us end up exploiting naive people around us in an attempt to go higher in the ladder? By the way this is also termed as being "street smart". What I would be interested in knowing is what does one feel when one is at the very TOP of the ladder? Does it embarrass one to look down the paths of his/her growth or do they get camouflaged by thier achievements and all the extra NODS of recognition?
How many of us get up in the morning and think "Today I should be a better person than I was yesterday"? Well not many including me..
