He never cared what is happening around him. Never he looked over shoulders. Never he was seen indulged in loose talks. What to say more, rarely he smiled too….he was not even found showing any gesture of social interactions.
“What a life less soul , he is”, his colleagues pitied him.
“Seems one of his screws is loosely connected”, people sympathized. “How can he be a human without any blah blah chats in life”
But he was least bothered on all such sympathies and gossips
He thought, “Silly people, what do they know about me? Simply wasting their life in all those gossips. When will they understand the worth of what they are losing? Just living if the wind is favourable in their path, spending time peeping over the window of their neighbors. Never you people will understand what I am thinking. So start living, stop cursing me and laughing at me”
After thought: Sometimes we feel pity for othes thinking about their poor life conditions or unhappiness in life or anything like that. But actually we are fooled in a way. Those people understand everything including our thoughts. And in fact they are feeling pity for us..how ironic!
Any “awakened” person knows this… and they won’t be on Facebook, hah!
Haha..I get the sarcasm…
Wonderful post Akhila! To mind one’s own business is not an easy learning but a must to stay focused on our goal.
Yup…that life lesson is there..focus on our own business without penetrating much in to the comfortable zone of others….in fact that post was a real incident in an office. More to that life lesson, I was drawn into that ironic thought…
True words, Akhila and such people are awakened souls that they do not feel even if someone slanders them. It is we the other lot who feel all nonsense in life.
True..we are laughing at them without knowing that we ourselves are getting fooled
Yes absolutely
Introverts are a world all by themselves. We normal people never know what’s going on behind those dull looking eyes. Beautiful way to bring the beauty of their natures out
Actually I Donno if he was an introvert…maybe he was not in the right place the..and to add on, he resigned later and became an active person in some other area…and yes, still he wouldn’t keep his eyes over our shoulders..
Yeah maybe.
Spot on, Akhila!
Jep, to each his own. Intelligent and nice short story!
Thanks Mathias….such so called lifeless souls are everywhere around us..isn’t it….this was actually a true incident happened
Ironic indeed!
And it would be great if people just stopped making assumptions and feel pity.
Exactly….now just imagine ourselves in both positions… many a times we might have missed that point and made assumptions, sympathized or laughed at others..maybe all arises from our judgmental attitude
I agree with you.
I am having only WordPress blog, none of the stupid social media things in life , being a techocrat myself, away from those and people gossiping around me makes me feel, you stupid people don’t know how they are developed and how they are marketed and how they are working 😛 I pity on them, I know how to code these media..
Well…social media is a totally different virtual world…. it’s good if you have that control over your time as well as mind…
This is the problem everyone and anyone living a humble life faces and it is sad that such people are few and far between; so ultimately one is surrounded by people who don’t understand your brand of happiness.
No need to be sad, because such humble lives have their definition for happiness..they won’t care at all whatever we say against them…
Thanks pritish… have a good day
Same to you.
M living the life of a lifeless soul
Awakened soul…
In fact my post was not on social media…but unfortunately I guess , it has got such an impression….
And yes, I am not at all against social media….it’s up to the person to decide
Oops…
Strange I put in a comment here, it does not appear now.
There are the people who are introverted and prefer to keep quiet and give their opinions only when they strongly feel that need to. There are the others who simply love to talk and love people. Then there are the others who find the need to comment, complain, gossip and every situation and person, except them. All these people make our society complete. It is just who you choose to be.
Wow… I liked that explanation..let all be here ….
🙂
