Every action, either defined by you or someone else, will always generate attention,curiosity and an opposite reaction, which is why it is practically essential to follow your own footsteps, and indeed practice and embrace the philosophy of 'Necessary Narcissism', because , believe it or not, but sooner or later, people tend to stop giving a damn about, what others think of them, and instead start focusing and caressing on ,what is their priority and Need..
We live with all sorts of people. People who brutally, and quite moribundly are conservative, uptight,, basically family ones! It's really surprising how some literate, but less educated, less open minded families , do not teach their children ,the basic etiquette of respect,for all forms of religion, or perhaps, for all colors of people, for that matter.. We, our selves are the biggest contributors and shareholders, to the misery, we witness silently, but yet choose to maintain silence...
It's not the courage of a bad person, to become bad that's fearing and acceptable,rather tolerable But it is the cowardice of a good person,to stand up and fight for what they Know Is Right, that renders the spirit of humanity as weak....!
A person with faith,belief goes a far way, and much longer distance, be it, in forward or separating direction! People, with strong belief system, go on to become world class leaders, simply because they are not afraid of holding onto responsibilities and making a difference! Also, they have their unique ideologies to believe in, lay foundation of future,that rather exists as a dominant support system. A person, with weak belief, is doomed to remain , in the herd, as they will never risk or make an effort to , stand out, or be the 'Odd One Out'...Their focus will always be on 'Fitting In'...
But, in actuality, we are not built this way. We are rather indoctrinated or trained to behave or act according to a certain menu of rules and regulations, laid down by the ruling leader, and whosoever chooses to question the 'Menu' itself, and various factors and criteria, taken into account, while laying down obsolete rules, becomes a cynosure of all eyes , as perhaps the question seems to be 'Out Of Context''??
Learn to Handle Criticism....
You Can Always Use it Against you Or Work it For you.....
either way, you're right! and shall live with it's consequences...
So, choose carefully!
Criticism, if learnt, to dance around you, can and will bring Magic,into your life ,,because you will witness the wonders of moving on to the tunes of one's own creation,rather than flipping out, and being played like a violin ,from string to string..
For Once,you'll Realize, the depth and meaning of 'No Strings Attached'.
