The state of mind

When the heart is fragile
And the head is tensed
That is the time
When you make no sense

Tried so hard to walk on land
But somehow stepped on quicksand
She demands ten second of my true smile
But I'm sure its gonna take a while

Confidence

When we are kids, its so damn easy. Everyone around us is better than us so all we do is admire and absorb. Questions are there but we just keep them aside,'they are elder to us, they sure know better' is what we think inside. Then come the age when we think of someone as our 'ideal'. He or she is what we want to be. But soon enough we realize there are some things about the person which is not what 'I' would like. So the intensity of idealization decreases. It seems that growing up is like a path towards confidence. As we grow, our confidence in ourselves grows which leads to the growth of things around us which are wrong. We are confident that we are right and hence things which don't go our way is wrong. That is when we start feeling irritated and frustrated. So is confidence the root cause of our irritation. I guess the word is "overconfidence". Kill it before it kills you.

Expression.....

How many of us can express ourselves just as we want to. And why is it that some people understand you better than others, even though you use the same words to express yourselves? What is it about people which helps us to distinguish our close friends from our acquaintances. The answer is simple, friends are those who are of our types. But what exactly is our type? Have we not been friends with those who enjoy exactly those things which we don't. Have not the opposites attracted each other? Then what is it that helps us distinguish our close friends from others?

Weakness

"Weakness is a part of everybody's life. The sooner we realize this the better. We should take time and effort to know ourselves, specially our weakness, and submit to it. Because until we submit to our own weakness we can not overcome them. Actually we must not try too hard to overcome it anyways. Just know them and then be comfortable with it. " This is a concept introduced to me by one of my friends. I don't really know how much of it is true. If we submit to our weakness how can we ever improve. The need to improve comes only when we are uncomfortable with ourselves. But if we submit to our weakness and be comfortable with it.......how do we overcome it?
