I have learnt to smile and keep mum. Have learnt new ways to react to the flat and flavourless word "nice"! "Everything" and "everyone" is nice in this world. The quote line is "It's not about you, it's about other people".
It wouldn't be right on my part if I do not confess here that I am tired of being "nice" as good, or rather, "nice" it feels to be "nice" (pun intended)! As tempting as it might be, I am not here to whine. It sure takes away the glitter and glamour of the very face you are trying to put up. All of us wear a mask. Every mask has a different shade. We parade with paper faces and crumble and trash it at the end of the day. Look around and there is another face, I mean, "mask" around you. Let's give in a few exceptions as does every rule! But then, hide your face and the world will never find you. This world is like an entertainment industry with its sordid gains and vantage points. I surely have profited from it as much as I have given to it. Whining about it rather would be hypocritical. But wonder if this is how I want it to be or rather I want to be?!

its ok to whine! and sulk! and feel bad about something (somebody) when u feel it.. its just another emotion! you dont have to be good and nice to every situation thats happening to you.. u will loose ur identity!! Trust me on that!
Thanks a bunch for reaffirming. I need that for now. Some situations can be tricky, you know. Playing between your values and what needs to be done, it can be quite stressful.
