"Shades"

Shades….. Well to clear the confusion in the air I am not going to write anything about Ray Ban or Bausch & Lomb…What I am referring to is the shades of our personalities which are embedded in our personal sphere thereby adding up to the “Persona” thing.

One in his normal course of life cannot deny that the other person is completely selfless and truly lives a life of a sage (not referring to the modern day god men who perfectly fit into the scenario of living for the self…oops flesh…) its way much more beyond that.

What a person comes up in front of other may normally and often may not be the real self…it is the reel self…as today’s fast paced life is no less than a movie in which we all want to have the ingredients of action, drama, comedy & saga but above all always expect a “Happy Ending” which is true to a maximum extent. People nowadays seem to have a back up image of them to help them deal with various kinds of souls which exists in this world.

As in my opinion it’s not what your life comprises of…its how much in your life you have compromised for… and this compromise thing somewhere I feel brings us to the level of behaving in different manner just to please or get along with your peers. But in this what we forget is that “We might put up different face and act for a while but we forget that neither the face is permanent nor the act which you put forth upon”

Everybody does have another shade of their personality…as few punch lines come to my mind…:-

• Whatever glitters is not always gold.
• A face which always smiles may have dreaded/deep secrets behind.
• The mask which we wear at work often becomes the face

Half way through this write up I sensed that many would argue upon this topic and may not be ending up on satisfied side thereby springing up something against…but as we all know that likewise no two fingers are of same size, the same case is applicable to opinions of persons.

Coming back to the topic which got deviated because of difference in opinions…(which I am sure is just the case of patching up with peers or readers so that they don’t get offended. gosh…did I put up a reel face to please you all on this by making the statement?) Anyways the shades any individual puts on is not because he has to. it is because failing which he will be termed as someone arrogant, moody, cheerful, boring and above all an isolated human being in this so called socialized world.

Okay let me ask you all a question…how many of you often agree with or get along with your peers, relatives and friends view points, their behavior, and their acts????

Second question…how many times have you tried to set forth their acts whether right or wrong and often end up saying to your self that “As a friend I have advised him/her but since its his/her life they need to sort it out”

It often happens that you console or advise your peers but how many times does it actually is free of grudges….No need to answer this question as the best answer would be given by your conscience…and accept the fact that “YOU” know that

Why do we actually need to or end up putting different faces in this society:-

• To get along or gel well?
• To be socially accepted?
• To have a clean image and put up as someone who is very caring and kind?
• To be the most sought after person or in other words…someone as clear as water?

I leave this to you to ponder upon as someone said that silence is nothing but having a chat with your inner self. So think about this…if you wish to. Keep donning the mask which sometimes not every time is the better task
