I want to talk about real people today,
people who laugh and cry, love and lie, are honest sometimes and manipulative
at other times. People who hurt and who forgive. Ordinary people who can be
extraordinary. Intelligent ones who can goof up every now and then, people who
can make a mistake and laugh at themselves. People who can bear a lifelong
grudge and let go also.
How does one live in a synthetic world of
" best behavior 24•7 " it would be an exhausting exercise. Smile
politely. Talk politely. Keep your voice down just enough. Never say a
contradictory word. Always agree to the opinion of others. Just listen ... and
all will be well apart from the fact that you would in this case, be one of the
most boring people one had the "fortune" of knowing.
Give me real people any day.
The "dhishoom dhishoom” types. They have an interesting personality at
least.
