"liked"

 Every tiny little thing we do revolves around people liking us.

There may be self-proclaimed individualists amongst us who may contradict me saying "no!not necessarily, we do things for our happiness.we don't live to please others "

but even after doing the so called "things for our own happiness",we look around to see whether people appreciate us.

 Just yesterday after writing my first blog .I logged into my account again and again to check the stats and realized my job would have been much easier if there was this " like" symbol.I just wanted to know if i was liked!The satisfaction that comes after that is unparalleled!

I think Zuckerberg's billion dollar company is a huge hit just because of this tiny "like" symbol.He made it much easier for us to know whether we are liked or not just a click away!Upload a picture..count the number of likes..if it crosses 100...oh yeah..a very likable person!

The whole idea of  being liked stems from our root nature of pleasing others.Every work we do..we need others to like it,others to appreciate it,others to motivate..if not.. we give it up!

We even get into relationships and stay in one..just because we are being liked...and when its all over..its devastating because we are no longer liked!

           

                                       It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?    

"the confusion"

"I always wanted to write a blog,but i had no idea what to write about!So I spent insane amount of time reading others blogs..all kinds of  blogs ranging from poetry to travel .but I could never write one,the hardest  part of writing a blog is the beginning.The very first blog.your first blog defines the entire nature of your writing,it determines your future posts,so my first blog needed to be perfect,it needed clarity,it needed depth.So searching for this perfect blog.I postponed my idea of  writing one for 4 years,as you can see..I never found the perfect one!

My first blog is "me"...the epitome of confusion! 

Ideally speaking being confused is not good,because you don't have clear goals,you can be diverted easily ,you achieve nothing.

But I think  being confused is the best state of mind,because your mind is open to ideas,eager to learn and you end up doing little bit of everything.

So my present state is just confused!!its been one for a long time!!I have tried my hand at everything from poetry to singing,gardening to dancing..everything!! I haven't found my niche yet !

ink art..something I tried out today!
