Feels like just another night when i am eagerly looking for my diary and pen, cause there are a zillion thoughts oozing in my head, almost as if jumping on a trampolean to figure out an exit. I always wanted someone to sneak in and read what's written in my diary, no one ever did!! The point is the unstoppable urge in people to tell everyone else, well may be "everyone" is an exageration.. but at least someone else how they feel about things. What's their view on so many things that happen on a day to day basis.
I have come to believe that it's our compulsive need for acknowledgement that leads to a bazillion emotional issues. Just because one wants to be noticed, heard, remembered there are so many things that get played around it. There are so many things people do to simply prove an existence. Somehow, the sad part is all this effort happens for people who are techinically by means absolutely insignificant in our lives... and of course visa versa.
I guess we are taught to get carried away, in emotions of all sorts. Not really sure how, but we do pick it up over time. we learn to be more happy when happy, we exagerate our sorrows, we live our grief everyday. Almost to the extent of being guilty if you do drop the emotion unattended for too long!!
Life continues, if you could exagerate your emotions or if you couldn't.
As a kid i remember asking my mom, amongst the 3 siblings that we were, who does she love the most... as much as i yearned the answer be me, even if the answer did come as me... i refused to believe it. Not sure what kind of reassuarnces we keep looking for in life. Especially, when it comes to positive emotions. I mean if there is a nasty event - its so easy for one to relate to it, say "yeah! I know I am the chosen one ... for all the bad".
howcome it's so difficult for one to simply acknowledge and move on with a positive emotion, event or anything else that's not effectively putting you down. Everyone around you is continuouly fishing for compliments. just do a quick dipstick around u and u shall agree with me.
In psychology they call it the postive strokes. Of course they are healthy. we feel good about ourselves, but still we would continue to ignore or keep looking for more. If you carefully observe, we are very smart about gaining these positive strokes, you ask someone; comments on your looks on the day u believe you did your best to look your best, you know u are an expert at a certain reciepe, you'll ask often how is it made... you'll never ask if you were looking just about awright on a bad hair day!!
Think over it... while i come back shortly with some more food for thought!
