Perception and actuality!

Not having the desired audience or liking for what you’re doing doesn’t mean you’re not up to it, and it is not because it is ‘you’. Folks are naturally very bad in bringing about fineness, but always raring to associate themselves with someone else's self-made eminence.

If you’re famous, I mean even without any marked ability, but only famous for being famous, everything you do is acceptable. Even if nonsense is what you post on social media, it will in a jiffy accrue twenty-ten hundred ‘Likes’, but that doesn’t mean you’re the ideal human. People are naturally greatly impressed by famous people, and connecting with such people kind of gives a feeling of connection. Nonetheless, you cannot call anyone a hater for refusing to join that star-struck bandwagon.

Speaking at every single talking occasion doesn’t make you an analyst. Sometimes people don’t say it, but you’re only yapping about crap that makes no sense, practically the same as a chatterbox – and just because others choose to be silent doesn’t mean they’re empty. Sometimes when talk is cheap, cheaper talkers are left to do the talking.  

Having a tongue as sharp as that of a jungle babbler doesn’t translate to a profound mind, and just because people seem to be listening to you doesn’t mean they’re paying attention. Sometimes silence is a sign of disinterest, or a way to curb nag-induced migraine - you know, a nicer way of saying "Ssshhh! No one gives a fuck."

Noticing that someone is always online on social media doesn’t mean they are always wasting valuable time idling on the internet. See, as luck would have it, some people do not have to go to the internet café to get connected. They’ve it readily available, even if out of action.

Seeing you weeping at every funeral does not essentially mean you’re heartbroken, and just because others are empty of tears to contribute doesn’t make them unsympathetic. We have seen crocodile tears and grieves that will expire the moment one leaves the sight of the bereaved family.

Gracing every wedding, naming or whatever ceremony with your presence, even if uninvited, doesn’t mean you’re sociable, because you may be motivated by the food on the house or just for the hell of it - and just because others have to catch up on events due to inescapable busy schedules doesn’t mean they’re antisocial.

I have plenty things to talk about and I can write nineteen to the dozen, but this is already a long piece, and I am not going to apologise if I have offended anyone. I know there is going to be somebody out there who’s going to be offended, thinking I am throwing shade, but that’s natural and it’s none of my business.
