Its been a very long time since I've written something that I am proud of or something that deeply bothers me about life and that is why we talk about something very close to me. Something that I I observed as a prey as well as a predator.
I define life by the word 'hard', but people use the words 'unpredictable', 'challenging' and 'struggle' etc. I have come to understand that yes, life is a struggle because it is supposed to be that way. What would be this life without struggle? No adventure, no thrill, no excitement, no mood swings, no reward, no punishment. THUS, no Life.
TODAY I'm sharing things that I've done and experienced for myself from both perspectives.
I'm neither calling myself innocent nor am I declaring myself a culprit.
I've always been an open person and whenever it came to people, especially strangers I found that people were comfortable sharing their problems and sorrows with me. However, With time I felt that the pain I once used to feel because of the troubles everyone else was facing became insignificant with time. The effect became so short-lived that I stopped caring about people around me to the same extent. I used to share the pain but now whenever I hear them, I feel sad for a while and things start getting normal again
I've been a super frank person yet at some point I've made a mistake of not caring for the feelings of those around me and ignored the pain I was causing.
in my 'fun-filled' life I made a few people uncomfortable, without realizing what I was doing because I thought everyone was as merry as me.
I used to think that I can never hurt anybody but after observing it myself I've realized that I've damaged people in a manner that may not be mend able. This realization has more to do with the fact that I began to face the same damage to my soul.
And isn't it fair? Tit for tat.
I'm glad that Allah made me stand at a point where now I understand how anyone can feel, how I think twice before doing something because we never know, we never know How something might affect the other person. Glad that I've become less judgmental and more acceptable and embracing. Not judging people for being themselves; Their actions, dressing or the way they talk.
I'm glad I've learnt all this But through a passage of pain that has made me feel like a human again.
But to you! Hey! You! If you have not experienced it yet and you take little or everything for granted or don't care about anything because you are happy on your own then take a minute. Think about yourself and see if you are the kind of person you yourself would love to hangout with?
We've been created as social animals. We need one another because thats whats keeping us sane. You matter, people matter. Its this realization which helps us evolve as a person and as a nation.

Well, thats always a healthy drill to step outside of yourself and examine yourself from an objective standpoint. As for myself, I dont know, I am an easy going guy and try my best to make the other person comfortable so that he/she can be himself/herself. There are reasons to like me, hangout with me, but there are equal number of reasons not to hangout with me, and I believe this is quite natural, we all have certain weakness, certain aspects of our personality that some other people may not like very much so its not possible to make everyone happy.. Likeability is subjective, you can never be apple of everybody's eye, so instead of making yourself likeable, just be yourself, you can still find mates and friends who will like you for what you truly are.
