Misled crowd, all around. I don't want to follow your lead. I look for examples in my life, among people of my age group, of clear minds. Sensible people. And I observe the general trend to be of people who are not that wise. Not that I expect people to be at this age. They are still discovering themselves, discovering the world. As am I. Yet, I never stop searching for an inspiration.
And I am close to giving up on my search. That perfect inspiration is fictitious. It is simply too good to be for real. And that is what I strive to achieve, all the time. When I see people worrying about trivial things, crying over worthless matters, it really befuddles me as to how could they not see things clearly enough to know their worth. Indeed, life is too short to fret over every fall you encounter. You fall, you get up and you move on. That's life. There is no need to involve your emotions everywhere.
I pride myself on being a practical person. Really, I do. Yes, I have done things and made decisions like a fool at times, but oh well, that's how you learn. The key is not to avoid mistakes, for that is and unattainable goal, but to learn from your mistakes and be smart enough not to make them again. I have had times when the world has been against my take on things. People have told me that I am a little too pragmatic, to the extent of being callous. And it is times like these, which urge me to show my emotional side to people. To let go of my practical nature, and let the situation get to me. And every single time, I have regretted it.
I am more and more confident and convinced now, that my take on things is the best approach. Not for everyone out there, no. But for me, yes. I have seen enough of the other side of the coin to realize that it is not my cup of tea. I have not been put on earth to please others. And frankly, that is quite an impossible task too. You can never keep everyone happy. And I refuse to try at it anymore.
The bottom line is to be happy. And I have experimented enough to realize that I achieve that by being me. The things that come naturally to me. The nature that comes naturally to me. Nothing makes me happier than that. And I believe people around me feel the same way. The only difference in me is that I made an effort to imbibe the qualities I thought were appreciable from the rest. And realized that it made me fall below my own level. Indeed, those qualities were a notch lower than the ones I already had. And I think the others do try to attain the qualities, which I have the good fortune to already possess, but are simply incapable. That should put me on cloud 9! Believe me, it has.
So, now, I make this solemn promise to myself, to continue and improve on my path. I am already ahead of people. And I am determined to keep it that way.
