What lies behind the Mask?

A beautiful woman clad in dark red saree, hair decorated with jasmine and a bindi that occupied half of her central forehead walked down the street after enjoying the company of her boyfriend, since her husband was out of town. Seeing her, a person told his friend, “Dude, Have you ever watched goddess lakshmi walking down the street? If not, look at her. Wow! I wish to have a wife like her.. infact I wish she was my wife”

At the same time, a girl was fighting against a man who tried to rape her. She fought with a conviction…used the sand, pebbles, few wooden sticks left in the sea shore to save herself from this butcher, in the process she was drenched in the sea water.

Watching this girl walking down the road with the Jeans and white tops that was totally drenched, the same person told his friend, “Dude, Look at this bitch. She is returning after enjoying the day with her boyfriend. I pity her husband”

Friends, like those poor chaps, how many times we judge people just by their outer look. So many times we form opinions just by people’s appearance, structure, the way they speak, clothes they wear, in the manner they carry themselves and other extrinsic characters. We perceive only their face value and never try to see what lies behind the mask.

I was in a similar situation today and told myself, “Share your thought with all your friends :)”.. and that’s why I decided to pen down this post :P

Thought the point youre trying to malke may be self sufficient but an inquisitive mind would just say he that why do we even need to judge people..are we so sordid and bored that we are judging people..and only in the rarest of the rare cases do we actually need to judge someone..and still we can keep the feelings to ourselves..and if you would see the broader perspective you'll find that whatever you speak in general has no purpose or thought put behind..it comes more like a spontaneous thing..just like commenting on people..telling silly jokes laughing and being merry..if you would just come down to a condition that i speak when the listener gets something or i get something except entertainment you would be barely speaking to someone..even though this idealistic case is wrong even 80% following will make you feel dumb and a moron..and the fact that why i'm writing this comment itself is conflicting with what i have written and makes this post redundant..wish to write more but i guess i can go on forever..
