They say humans will, somehow or rather, get accustomed to the ever-changing environment. Revelling the moments as a kid never fails to bring back so much laughter. Kids being kids, they aren't bounded by the many complicated thoughts of adults. They cry, pout, smile, throw tantrums, laugh, sound out their sentiments - all without qualms. Before I could even justify my thoughts, people around me probably would pass me off as an immature young adult who refused to grow up. Grow up, they insisted. Who knew the process of growing up will put you through a series of events - both happy and sad. A good friend of mine once said to me, "good heavens, you've changed so much." Did I? "No I didn't change, I grew up", I thought to myself. Alas, I never knew I'd find myself in such a dilemma. Every peer around me seems to fit into the standards of today's society. As much as I refuse to sour any friendships, I'd still stick to my principles so dearly. That's because your personal judgment and instincts come into the picture. In a perfect world, negative feelings wouldn't have existed. Passing judgements on someone we barely know would ring the bell for most of us. Making jokes out of people's names, categorising people and their personalities, or even forming baseless conclusions on someone's actions, so long and so for... It was not only until recently that I learnt about more an acquaintance who was heavily judged and jeered by many. It is indeed a small world where one's friend could be someone else's relative that you might also happen to know. For we are incapable of alleviating someone else's pain, we gain nothing in aggravating either. Alas, there is a fine line between being logical and opinionated, isn't it!
