All our lives we keep living up-to the expectations of others. Making amendments where they are barely needed just because someone prompted us to. Complying with the human nature, the point of view that average humans need a little push (motivation) ,to do well or to excel above average, does hold some ground. But how much is this push? Many a times the push goes a little too far. Depending on the diverse human nature not all are strong headed to be able to rubbish off the useless opinions. No matter how unwanted opinions might be, few people always have some of these up their sleeves and they don't feel slightest of shame in throwing shades over at others...forever ready to point out areas of their life which remain uncoloured and empty. Although most of the times the so-said is rubbished away, but a part of it always sticks at the back of our minds.
Doing away with such thoughts, it isn't the same when we inspect the area that was being held the subject of critique. All we have infront of us now is a judged portion of our lives which was look down upon. It prompts us to bring a change so that the new outlook is acceptable enough for us as well as for others to see and to talk about. It isn't about a particular time when we run into such mad men (just kidding... they are only that variety of humans that aren't adored much). They only happen to cross our paths and have us guilty of something which we previously considered alright enough to not change.
But the underlying question still remains hanging and unanswered. Why does it affect us soo much as to actually make us have second thoughts?! The answer being stood quiet simple and crystal clear. The reason is us. Us?! Yes us ! People will say tons of things, some in front of your face and some at our back. It's their mouth which forms words for their sweet little soreness. We can't have absolute control over what others say or think of us. But we do surely have a hundred and one per cent control over how we react. Making us change ourself, for because others didn't like it but we surely did; will only give them more power to affect us and to have a control over our lives. Rather than letting opinions change us, we should make us change the opinions.
We should be confident about what we do and what we are. Opinions will change like options. They never stay the same and it's always better to be the way you are. For one feels oneself only in one's skin.
