the world and you.
once, i told a lie.
a small one,
one that i know many people have used it on me before.
then i was super guilty the entire day,
and i wonder why.
all the weird thoughts,
and worrying of being exposed.
i thought hard,
how did my friends feel nothing?
then i ran through my past,
it's not possible that i have never told a lie.
i doubt you would believe either.
then suddenly, i realise the difference.
it was a lie i told for myself,
and this was one lie different from the rest.
i thought back what was those things i would lie about.
those lies back then,
were told for the sake of others.
and so i realise,
how much i have been living for others
and thinking in people's perceptions,
putting myself in people's shoes.
which i doubt happen a lot these days,
because apparently i dont get those treatments.
someone once told me,
everyone tends to self centered.
i didnt believe her,
but she seem to be proud of the fact.
to me,
i think it's really something that do happen A LOT (at least to me),
but really to be ashamed of.
really,
is there anyone in the world close to selfless?
just close, not fully.
or is this the cruel human nature?
this is one thing that will keep me thinking for awhile,
find me weird, i dont care.
there's much more things in this world,
which some of us might never see.
why?
because we only think in our own perception,
which is somewhat self centered.
-------------------------------------------------------
i wouldnt say im not self centered,
but maybe my definition of it is different.
you try not to neglect people's feelings,
try as much as you can to think in people's position.
but being self centered,
you just jump into your own conclusion.
you make decision on your own accord.
you can say it just slipped of your mind,
but isnt that the thing that counts?
i think if you geniunely thinks for someone,
the person wouldnt be forgotten just like that.
