Hi,
It's been a while I posted something here.
And now I am away from home and India and nothing good to do other than work, I guess I can post more often.
Do we really need to know each other, or anybody close...
I guess when we know other person, most of the time we end up knowing something less good about him / her.
And from my experience I feel that most happy faces hide a lot of tears..
So I decided not to dig into anybody and keep the relations only on the surface.
At least when being together, we will be happy and enjoying...
All these thoughts came to me after a brief lunch discussion with my friends a few days back.
We were happily chatting, pulling each others' legs and making a lot of noise and laughter.
We left the table and decided meet the next day for some more fun.
But everything turned upside down when one of my friend told a little secret about the guy I teased the most...
Though he was apparently enjoyed it and gave me more reasons to tease him, this news made me feel guilty.
Whatever I told him for the sake of fun got a very ugly face to it...
It was really hurting.. especially because I liked that guy ( he hate to refer him guy, always insist to call him by name).
So all the smiling face he portraits melted in a second....
I rushed to him to say sorry, and being the gentleman he is, he insisted he didn't care about it and it didn't bother him a bit...
Still I felt bad and sorry...
Sorry dear.. I never meant to hurt you...
So no more digging up into anybody's soul.
I like them the way they are with me...
This is not the first time a smiling face turned out to be a mask..
But this time it hurt me very deep...
So I like to be friend with the smiling face, not the teary face within...
Wait a minute, I been called Always smiling bright boy....
Thought-provoking post!
ReplyDeleteI feel that we should accept people as they are. Unconditionally. It is really difficult to practice. But once you manage to do it, you turn out to be an amazing person. I have tried it. And I still am trying. My friends have to tell me if I am succeeding in my efforts.... :-)
Pushkala,
ReplyDeleteI was not telling knowing more makes me like people less or difficulty in accepting them, but what I observed is that smiling people tend to hide their tears and always present themselves as the happiest ones... One way it is a great thing to do, but once we know the real story it is too difficult to accept the fact and sometimes the way you talked or behaved with them tends to be a big mistake...
