WORDLESS

I'm at a loss of words again. I have been tagged to write a story, but 55 words is impossible for me. Anyway, have no mood to write more crap. I have lots of opinions on lots of things but I can't write that, because either I don't know how to put that feeling in words, or I'm reminded of the reprimand that I recently got: "You have an opinion on almost everything, how can you think and know so much about everything!". I'm scared of the person who scolded me with this, and I also realise I deserved the rebuke, and that having an opinion on everything is a very bad thing. So I won't say it. The third reason is that I want to write about some people..people around me, friends, foes and aquaintances, who affect me because they're a part of my life, or atleast my immediate environment, but I can't write it for I fear offending someone, somewhere. I'm always genuinely intrigued by people, and the complexities of their mind. I like understanding people. I like approaching situations from the points of view and understanding of another mind. I like smiling and crying 'with' others. This is one process that helps even a self-obsessesed attention-crazy maniac like me to forget myself. I especially like people who are unpredictable: with them you always have this uncertainty of "what next"and that's what makes life interesting! It's my luck I have quite a few people around me at the moment who fall into the category and that's why life, and my thought trains, have become fun these days. Some of them read this blog, some read it and do not want to publicise that they do, and the remaining don't, but in most cases there's a friend who does. I'm normally very honest with what I feel about anything and anyone-rather I'm way too blunt!- which means I say absolutely whatever I feel about him/her to the person concerned on his/her face. The only problem is, if I write all that here, several others will read it too, and more than that, I fear being misunderstood and misquoted even with the person concerned. Gawd, couldn't things be a little easier! These days even a genuine expression of respect is taken spectically and with a BAG of salt. Praise doesn't necessarily have to be loaded with malice, or coupled with selfishness and buttering. Sometimes, it CAN be heartfelt. Sarcasm is a good thing, but only as long as one does not hunt for it everywhere.
