a saga of pretense!

you know what you see around when you see people! you see faces pretending to be happy, content with everything that life has thrown on their faces.

Most of us know deep down that we are not living our lives the way we would like to live them, but we carry on in jobs we don't like, people we don't like and the works.

The worst thing is we pretend to be happy, look interested, sound inquisitive where we are getting bored to death and choked with disgust! We pretend we are fine and life is hunky dory.

we just keep getting better at it everyday.

i was sitting in a training session this morning where I did not understand anything. I did not want to understand anything and I was looking at faces in the room. My colleagues were pretending to look interested though even they were getting as bored as I was.

The trainer was pretending to enjoy himself so were other people in the room. I was looking lost and I was lost.

I could not get it. I will not pretend. If I am miserable like I was this morning, I will not hide it from myself.

I cannot enjoy what I do not enjoy. I cannot make myself enjoy things that are no true to my nature, interest, aptitude!

In a sea of pretentious human beings, I refuse to be one. If I am not happy, I cannot pretend to be otherwise.
