We've all got meanness in us, but we have good in us too. And the only thing worth living for is the good. That's why we've got to make sure we pass it on. -Where the Heart is-

We live in a world where social constraints put a leash on us, despite our thirst for total freedom, they drag us back, they pull us away from dreams that seem to be within our reach. So near, yet so far. People say that you dont have to give a damn what others view you, but hey, face it, sometimes we have to take those opinions into consideration because ultimately if you do not adhere to some of those rules, you lose. Do you think people really care whether you stray from norms, how far can admiration gained from this bring you, realistically speaking.

The image that you project will mould a person's first impression of you, and sometimes you do not get the opportunity to show that person who you are internally because most people dont care enough. Which is only natural.Everyone mostly lives for themselves and closed ones, and not strangers. Yes sympathy and compassion can travel your way sometimes, attempts at understanding, but in the cruel working world out there, you only have yourself to depend on.

For example. If you go to a job interview with tattoos bearing the words 'peace to the world' or 'i love my mummy'. Sweet tender words. But if you are the employer, would you hire someone who comes in for the interview dressed scruffily or whatever. Chances are you wont.

And so sometimes we have to go by the rules, for the sake for ourselves.

So Man is selfish. But Man has to survive too.

And that is the hard hitting truth.
