Dont be thyself!!!
"Be yourself."
How many times I've heard celebrities mouthing this line for every question ranging from your style statement,your sex appeal or self confidence.Just be yourself,is all that they got to say.
I thank God that's not the way it is!!! Face it,how many of us are really what we portray? You know how much u hate that colleague of yours and wished he never existed,but would nevertheless return his greeting with a smile.You would never think of retorting back with a statement like,"What's good about this morning when dimwitted morons like you are still inhabiting the planet!"And we got so many secret desires and wishes,which if made public,the entire universe would be a small place to hide.People are jealous of each other,but wouldnt make their feelings public,coz protocol forbids it.It's bad manners to bitch.So,even if you feel bad,pretend you are happy for tht person.Be yourself,eh?
Why do then,people stress on being yourself? Are they trying to say,be your unique self?But what's so unique about a self that has being conditioned by norms and rules of the people and society,at large?At the end of the day,eveybody sounds the same,the beauty queens arnt getting any better with their answers and Sachin always says that the game is more important than his personal records.That is after setting a record.Imagine him saying,"I was yearning for this one since a long time.Infact,everytime I arrived at the crease,the record was my primary focus." Eeks no,right?!! To be selfish is wrong in the society. You ought to think beyond yourself and for the larger common good.And how can you be yourself,without thinking about yourself?Beats me.
People who voice their opinions without a second thought are scoffed at.They are criticised for their behaviour.Just imagine,everyone going around telling what they truly felt about people/things/issues.That image leaves a bad taste in the mouth.Coz,then nobody would care what the other person feels.They would just be their self and act.A selfish society.So,dont be yourself;Do the society some good :)).
