Are We Who We Are?

People always say we live for ourselves and we control our own lives. How true is this statement? To a certain extent it is, but it is also a fact that we are almost always living our lives just for other people. We are always concerned about what others think about us, how others perceive what we say, where we stand amongst everyone else, so if you really notice, what we say and do is never really for ourselves. And that is where all the problem arises from.

We will always behave and react to how we think we should, and yet again shouldn't we actually behave and react to how other people think we should, since they are the main audience? This all points to a simple statement. "Many a times people are wrong, not because they do something wrong, but just simply because they think that they are right." Ok its starting to sound a little complex, but my point is, you will never fully understand people, and people will never fully understand you. All it needs at times is just a little compromise, a little patience, and a little understanding.
