Things as they are

Have you seen people talk about their lives? Have you seen people actually live their lives? Nah, who cares right. But come again, people talk about their lives, forget it, people just talk, we listen, and then we realise something. That discomforting feeling does come knocking. Yes, judgement. Any living human with an able mind judges anything given to it at lightning speed. Because that's what the mind was built for, processing whatever it senses! Heck leave listening to people, you are doing it while reading this. Now comes the tricky part, how does one not show his/her real judgement and try to coerce a feeling to the other person that he/she needn't worry about that judgement. That would come handy when someone asks for a definition of "Politeness" - State of mind where your actions are exactly contradictory to your thoughts. When you don't, you just are really really, I mean really, rude. There is a state even beyond the regular judgement. It is called prejudice. We all do it. Tiny, but existent. The whole civilization is based on showing a masked reaction to everything that happens. That's social norm. And by judgement, it can be a good one or a bad one. But people as such tend to peep into good ones as if that's the best possible thing in the world. What if it is wrong? What if I am wrong? What if everything is wrong?

We still have to live the same way as we used to because we used to? I am not the best judge of it perhaps, hence that is a question best left to be answered by each individual. Nah, this ain't no philosophy. Just a little pondering. Chaotic at that. Like every other post of mine, you come with nothing, you go with nothing after reading it.
