I know the start and the title will sound a little weird, but try and put it in perspective.
So all of you have gone through days which were all gloomy and you felt like everything in the world is wrong. That everyone in the world was after you and no one had your back. That you were alone and no one really cared. Most just pretended.
Ignore the above if I sound morbid, but logic tells me most of us have had that day
Coz have you gone through days which were too bright? I go through them sometimes. Not very often, but when they do happen, I hate the sunshine (which I usually am a big fan of).
Everyone looks too happy to be real. Everyone (minus you that is), has that perfect relationship that you have been yearning for. Somewhere that guy is proposing to that other girl in the most perfect way you would want it, and guess what, that girl is probably not even liking it or accepting it.
Someone out there is getting that perfect raise that you truly deserve, and their career is shooting off in the right direction, while you are stuck in that boring old job.
You get the picture. So what do you feel? Is the world too bright? Or too gloomy? Or is just my crazy mind putting the same thing in too perspectives?

Well, if a guy's proposing and the girl not accepting, then obviously its not a perfect relationship, right?? So how is it 'too bright'? Looks like a gloomy situation to me! Or are you saying the couple is faking happiness??
You lost me there!
Dint say the girl is not accepting it, but it might not be her perfect way of a proposal...
Thats a minor detail.. My question was... how do you interpet the paragraph above... too bright?too gloomy? is it dependent on you or the world beyond?
Yeah! So girlie of me to get into gossip mode :) I didnt exactly get ur post, because I feel there could be a context behind which I dont know. But just on the sunny gloomy thing.....
I accept that sometimes the world does seem unnaturally bright. And that typically co incides with periods when one is feeling gloomy. So perhaps it is interconnected.
But how exactly is brightness in anothers life measured? Typically these days it seems to be one's Facebook pics/status, the kinda parties one goes to, the no of friends one has, salary hikes, relationships etc. And how well do we know the live's of the people we are comparing with?
When I look at close friends or close colleagues I dont get this unnaturally bright feeling because I am constantly in touch with these ppl and I know their highs as well as lows.
But when I suddenly bump into old friends or compare myself with old friends that I have slightly lost in touch with, I sometimes get this unnaturally bright feeling. Why?? Because its the in thing to flaunt one's coolness factor and everybodys doing that and we mistakenly think everything about their life is pink. Then again there are people, no matter how close you are to them, they dont tell you about the lows in their lives, their inabilities or insecurities. They are totally bent on proving all the time that they come from the best family, they have the bst relatives, they have had the best eductaion, best job, best looks etc etc, that anything short of best is not up to their mark or something. Its highly probable that they are riding on a wave of insecurity:)
So the point is not to compare at all or atleast compare with those you are very close to. Then the nums might just come down to a handful. If you still feel everything about a certain person's life is too bright then probably you dont know them well enough or they arent too forthcoming with their emotions:)
I know its difficult not to compare...But ultimately happiness is more important than reaching milestones, so I keep pushing stuff abt other ppl's life to the back of the mind....
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
@Yuvani : Thats a totally new perspective, one that I appreciate coz I never thought about it that way. But yes, I do agree. no ones life is all bright..and yes, people do all the things to show that their life is the best, but I think all the bright minds know the truth in the end.. sometimes, we just play along... However, when you are down in the dumps and every things seems un-natural, then your perspective of things will be dependent on tow crazy things... your crazy mood... and the mood of the world other than you.. :)
@Anonymous: I do wish you had left your name , coz its always nice to know who has taken the time to read what I write. Thank you! I guess writing evolves with the person, the pain matures, the likes and dislikes mature and you tend to grow more perspectives :)
