The four stages of "Growing up"

A simpler thought, for all those who had trouble understanding previous ones ;)

The four stages of "Growing up"

The kid...
Just a kid, i don't have a special name for this category.
You are enclosed in two shells of crystal with water in between them, and that's precisely how you see everyone else.
You never try to understand what you can't comprehend. You think out aloud. You listen to statements literally not figuratively. And the water inside your shell always protects you from the "unexpected" radiation of any unknown feeling.

The Grown up kid ;)
The bully.
Something just drained out the "water". Its new, a feeling that everyone else is still inside their shells, isn't it?
To you except a few others, everyone is still a kid. You think out even louder. You don't listen at all. Now you don' have a choice. You can not go back to being a kid. Soon you'll jump to the next level.

The grown up
The fader... that's what I call them.
This is where the fun begins, here you have a choice to go back to being a kid or a bully. You can identify and even understand why a person is a kid or a bully.
Understanding this makes you a face reader (fader :P). You know exactly what the person opposite to you is going to say and precisely what he means. But you care way too much about somethings, and way too less about the rest to do anything.
You think a lot, say too less. You obviously listen both literally and figuratively.

The over-grown up
The Player
The wicked stage :P. Now you don't just have a choice to being anyone, or not just the understanding but also the capability to play around a little with the rest. You can make a kid transcend into a bully, you can manipulate a fader into being anyone of the other two.
Now you just can not read expressions but change them. Now just about everything concerns you and you will anyway swoop into it.
You think in excess, you talk in excess too. You listen figuratively.



So where do you place yourself?

Ironically Ironical

Said the moon to the wolf,
know it, if you really want to
know what's inside my head,
tell me what I want to listen,
not what you'd have said.

but then to know what to say
you have to listen to the unsaid.
ohh, its a stupid damn circle,
and its so ironically ironical.

replied the wolf to the moon
staring at the hourglass,
i thought time was like sand.
waiting since the last spring
i had it all planned

but then no one told me,
this was no ordinary sand,
ohh, on the inside i saw drizzle
and its so ironically ironical.

said the talker to the listener
let me narrate you a story
I'll commence whenever i want
Do not interrupt in between,
whenever i'll feel like, I'll halt

but the talker didn't realize
its not easy holding him there
ohh, it should have been simple
and its so ironically ironical

Still, silent was the listener
observing the observer, he thought
whenever you start, just remember
Anytime I can stop listening
just like i did in the last September.

The story had already ended,
The undeniable power was all mine
ohh but i never wanted to control.
And its so ironically ironical.


Standing tall on the Alps I thought
some are scared of the future,
Some of the past, some of the stall
Did you really forget about the present.
Life isn't all fair after all,


Ironies will make you hallucinate,
Ironies will make you sway
But I'm no easy to get,
My friend, I'm here to stay.

I'm permanent....

Opinion.... everyone has one about everything. That's where the fun begins, no matter how predictable or how spontaneous yours is, its always the best :P.
And amongst the innumerable of them, there are 3 things you can do. Not every time, but as an instinctive act, most of the time one will be chosen.
1. Give up, be convinced
2. Deny, convince
3. Weather right or wrong, gather more like yourself

Now, lets jump to somewhere in future. Lets see where, or rather how are you.
1. The one who got convinced more often.
A little confused, maybe dissatisfied, envious!!. Your opinion does matter. Its just that the person sitting next to you will be thinking "ok.... bring it on ". Trust me, all this time trying to find a common ground, you have done the best job.

"convince" whenever you will, you will strive for the next.

2. The one who convinced more.
You yourself maybe dazzled by your genius, and so maybe some others. But there will be people, a few, waiting for, expecting trouble. Thinking "I knew it."

Willingly surrender, you will sometimes "be convinced" , just to fit in.

3. The one who was busy gathering!
Assuming that majority is always right, you are everyone's favorite. If you can, this is the best thing to do. But the question is "Okk... the best!!. Is it the right one too??".

realize, if you could, you are a headache to the other two

Enough of this crap now.. lets get to the point.
Wherever you place yourself, wherever you place me, I wouldn't let these categories overrule the way I see you. And I believe you wouldn't even.

"When you think that you’re all alone
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary,
Rest your head
I'm permanent....."

And if you are reading this I'd love to know what you feel. Whoever you are, feel free to comment.

Concentric VS EcCeNtRiC

It seriously intrigues me, and i really never could understand, why? Why are people so scared of the unconventional. Don't they ever get sick of the conventions and want to make their own rules, so as to break them too some day.
Yes, accepted, there is a "reason" behind everything. Ever thought that there might have been another reason behind the "reason". But then why do I need to, when I can simply walk away, deny, follow the "convention". Easy. Isn't it? Who knows, if it's a wise denial or just a fear deep inside an insecure mind, who would give anything to be certain. Now a hill on your left doesn't justify your assumption of an infinite abyss on your right. Does it?

"Sometimes it's the risk of getting hurt that's beautiful,
and worse is being numb and feeling nothing at all."

'Perspective' is the word.

What do YOU want to see?

But before I get all tangled up in ignorance, I would prefer to observe for myself. Observe and believe that something/someone can't be all bad. Maybe, I'll turn off my headlights to let you unfreeze. Time spent trying something, time spent talking to someone will only get me somewhere.

"Sometimes the words may not get through. But trust me, most of the time, they do."

But then again, Its my perspective.
So next time, around me, be sure that someone's watchin ya.
I know what you are thinking. What is all this about? I'll tell ya.
This is a reflex of what I see around. Or maybe I'm just as scared as you are. Who knows?
