" To be yourself in a world thats constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment" Ralph Waldo emerson
And heres the respond i had :)
Chocky : Because being oneself is hard to do, but being honest with oneself is even harder to achieve. I am with good old Ralphie :0)
ME : I know !! Always wandered whats left in a person if all expectations of the world is removed??
Chocky : A WHOLESOME one, unfortunately that would hardly happen, but i might be a bit optimistic and say a handful maybe la :)
ME : Maybe we can try "HALFSOME" first...hahahahaha :)
Chocky : yes i am always Optimistic and not calculative, Half is Full also .
Me : HALf is Full ??...hmm thats interesting , now i am tempted to work on it , thats encouraging.
chocky : Positive orientating, Half is FULL, One is Overwhelming, hahahaha...you can do it , i know you can :)
ME : Thats simply great, shall work on the half, or maybe 1/4 for a start :)
Hmm so thats how the discussion went, though we were just having fun talking bout this....it did make me think a lot....i mean all our lives we have been trying to keep up with the expectations of the world....like to do well in school, to graduate...to find a job....to settle down...have a family and we go on and on and on....
What if these expectations were not there...? what would you have done....? Where is the true self ? WHo are we ? I guess we are simply a bundle of expectations stuffed in forcefully. But realising this...maybe we can work at least half our lives for ourselves...and another half for the world....so its WHOLESOME , so half is full :)
