Why can’t we be open to all?
Why do we keep a distance from many..?
(It is not about getting along with everyone or getting too close to everyone, definitely it won’t be possible. But I am thinking about our interaction with people on a superficial level.)
Why can’t we put in a little emotional investment with all?
Why can’t we ask some thought provoking questions instead of artificial ones?
Are we afraid of something being stolen from our mind? Or are we afraid of being revealed?
What is that mind-block which forces us to be less transparent and less attached..?
Or is it some ego like, let him/her be open first, then only I need to be open?
What happens if we are read as an open book? Are we afraid of some harm forthcoming being open? Or is it some security threats..?
When we create an open book mind set, won’t it open a new love world in front of us?
Or are we trying to have that wonders in people’s eyes as mentioned in Alice is still in wonderland, by revealing less?
It’s cause, more often than not, when we open our hearts to get closer, the people at the other end casually take a part of our soul and smash it into pieces. So, a part of us dies just cause we trusted and loved. And hence the locked heart and a fake mask to put up. hehe… nice questionable post yaar..
It’s true, if we are like an open book then the world will be a better place. Perhaps the reason why we hold back ourselves is because we humans are afraid of being judged, by default we don’t prefer our character to be questioned. No matter how lovable a person is, after a certain stage even blood relations acquire competitive nature. People want to prove themselves better than another. If companies were like open books, the public would notice the loop holes thus denying them business. So open mindedness and competition cannot coexist!
I liked it, open mindedness and competition cannot coexist. Again this is a competitive world,no..so do you think that we can never be open minded?
I wouldn’t say we cannot be opened minded. It’s definitely possible but perhaps that condition may not last forever. The best example to that is the story of “MAVELI TAMBURAN”. The thought of open-mindedness mentioned here is a perfect description of his kingdom. Isn’t it? You know the whole story!
We hold back mainly from the fear of being hurt or judged. Except with a close few, we always feel comfortable with our mask on.
isnt it a mind game.. can we be hurt really..?
Unless we are emotionally well evolved and mature, others comments or opinions do hurt. Hence most people decide to play safe by holding back.
I don’t know radhika..maybe a few come under this category..definitely reasons will be varying from people to people

Ente Thought Provoking Question inte Reply Ithuvarey Than Thanilla!!
hmm…manapoorvvamanu..;)
ഹഹഹഹഹ!!
താൻ എന്തു മറുപടി പറഞ്ഞാലും എനിക്ക് ഒരു പ്രശ്നവും ഇല്ല !!കാരണം ഓരോരുത്തരുടെയും കാഴ്ചപാടുകൾ ഒരിയ്ക്കലും ഒന്നാവണം എന്ന് ഒരു നിയമവും ഇല്ല. പിന്നേയ് I wont Judge based on your stand!! So No Problems!! 🙂
nope.. nothing like that.
okay.. let me say my views “On a long run, his vision will be beneficial for the entire country. ” shhhhhhhh….no more questions..and finally let me make it clear that i am neither his promoter, nor his destroyer.
Okay……No more questions!!
Only thing is i don’t want to go for an argumental mode here in wp
Hey, Akhi! How are you today?
I think being open and free must be reserved for your very close and dear people in your life with whom you need not worry about being judged.
it depends on vibes we get from others mostly. Personally if I find the person i am interacting with is thinking the same way i do, then i will keep opening the pages of book. but if i feel , i am pushing them to shuffle through my pages, then i have to close the book… or they can take it as annoying, irritating or even desp sometime 😛 …
I agree with you bunny..somewhat similar to my feelings
I think, it happens with all of us.
Basic human nature is that we don’t want others to judge us, we want people to understand us.
Thanks sapna…does it all lie in that fear of being judgemental..i wonder…
🙂
I really liked ur point in post and then continuation of it in Supreet’s post.
I think it is one important aspect.
Just one example…. People when they get unwell they tell everyone from office/ home / friends / some even post on FB to broadcast to whole world and they go to physician. But if someone has mental stress and need to visit psychologist, they don’t inform people around them. Either they don’t visit them and if visit….hardly anyone knows about it.
Main problem with most of us that we try to “look good”.
Look good..ya it could be reason for not being open to all…just we need to maintain a fake image in front of others..
Thanks sapna fir this explanation
Sorry it’s their problem not yours.
the real version of you shouldnt be always exposed to the world.. becoz that puts you in back stabbing and betraying circumstances
Betraying circumstances…(n what sense faree?
i mean they will know our fragile point and its easy for us to be in mess
Ya..true
🙂
Hmm…points to remember
Ya…let us try to be in our own natural ways..anyway open-mindedness will definitely open world of love and attachments in front of you
Yes it will.
I loved it. This is awesome. I really loved it. I was really moved. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!
Thank you..i am also to open that world of love through the frankness door
You’re welcome.
I think even investing emotionally on everybody on a superficial level would be emotionally too draining. Also, I think its best to be on hi-bye terms with some people for our own protection.
Ya i can understand what you are referring to. Hmm, true in some sense..
It will be so much peace inside our hearts if that happens.Perhaps,too many unclosed hearts force to have closed opinions.
Ya it will definitely be a peaceful world. But What do you mean by unclosed hearts forcing to have closed opinions
We still are afraid of what others might think or say indicating closed opinions.:)
I find that when I reveal too much too soon – which I was in the habit of doing all the time – face to face it drives people away. It is very lonely.
That’s totally a new thing for me…wondering how will it drive people away…
Not everyone of us are at similar mental level. We can open ourselves only to someone who is equally interested in us. Sometimes block comes from other side. We need like minded or someone who won’t backstab us after knowing all our secrets…maybe that’s why!
Maybe that’s the issue..we donno what’s their in their mind
Yes, we never know that and how to proceed further without this. I affected myself many times by trusting people blindly. I’m kind of person who used to think everyone is like me but my bitter experiences changed it.
I can much relate to your mind, as i ‘was’ very much like that.but now training myself…so in between, still i was thinking, why should i limit…just doing a rewind through my notion
Still glad to read your post and blessed to have people like you in this world! ☺
I too get temptation like that often, this happens bcoz our basic nature is that of love and it can’t be changed.
True..that’s why we could easily feel the emotional vibes transmitted..
Umm… My sentiments matters a lot but if the other person gets hurt by what I say or do then, nothing can be more sad than that!
True..i agree with you fully..i too over think under such scenarios…that’s why i asked myself in my prev post..”why so serious “

I am panda who have the doors of his heart always open, but the problem is nobody knocks at them. The problem is the people being selfish and not interested in knowing about others. They have forgotten the lesson “dukh baatne se kam hota hai, assuming that you know Hindi, Pain decreases with sharing, assuming that you don’t know hindi.
Oh, Akhila Di is here…
Please come in, it’s an honour for me that you visited my heart!
What would you like to have? Tea or coffee or water?
Well..i prefer coffee with hide n seek biscuits
Oh why not?
Our choices are very much similar, it seems to me.
I will be back in a minute, you just have a seat. 🙂
Pertinent questions. But sometimes (not always) ‘open-ness’, or truth brings its own sets of problems and it takes out a lot of charm out of living.
Appreciate your views..ya, at times a balance is required
sorry for I kept you waiting.
So how come you visited my heart?
Because you have an open heart
We cannot open just like a cookie is opened with a bottle opener, we all have our own setup to close open.like a door which is there bcz of our own maintenance.
Because it often prove to be not worthy….I presume.
Then what will happen on a day when it becomes fully worthy
Then perhaps we will open up but frankly it seems to be a distant dream because how so ever we try to make peace with this fact that “no one actually can hurt us until we want to be” it really doesn’t hasten because this comes when we take calculated move… and I believe if we really need to open up then we need to have trust and love that both these aspects comes naturally not otherwise !! 🙂
Its fear from hurt I think. ☺
Is it
