I am one among the people and even I am surrounded by people but yet that statement is something I am just not fond of . We are a “society being” , I agree . We are answerable to our near and dear ones I know .. Yet! what they think is not in our control no ? If they are here to judge , then will our clarifying ever matter to them at all? People have to say something and they will . Even if they don’t loudly , their subconscious mind will prompt not so nice things which leaves an imprint on them without their knowledge , now thats a BIG game . How can we decide what others think? How can we change what others think? How do we know how others think? How are we responsible for how others think?
Now lets assume we have control of how others think through our actions , then considering there are 7 bn unique beings alive on this planet how do we know that most think alike , oh yeah! our circle is not 7 bn I know ok lets say 20 people how do we know what all the 20 will think , is it them thinking or is it we thinking on their behalf? isn’t it our negative thoughts that run on their behalf most times ? I have noticed 90% of the time all that I think is futile , no one cares . . At any given point of time there will be someone who doesn’t like something most likes , wait there will be an aesthist in that 20 so he doesn’t necessarily like GOD(the creator) himself 🙂 so then how can we ensure all of them are liking what we say or do? then will we have time to live our lives ? Or will we have enough time to ensure we are keeping everyone happy. How do we necessarily know everyone around us is happy ? And isn’t our purpose to keep ourselves happy? Will we ever be content and happy , if we are in this race of making others happy . Thinking for others , living for others . Will there be a day we wake up and realize that we lived our lives pleasing others to realise there is no life left to live ? people who matters will understand, if they don’t then they never mattered no? people and society matters but they can’t be the only thing that matters there is “we” beyond that .. WE , the life ..
