When meeting with familiar faces my first question would be normally ‘how’s life’ or ‘are you ok’ sort of phrases. Normally they would reply with a smile or simple ‘I’m ok’ kind of statement. Then again, these questions have been used so many times already that it has been so generalized. Generalized to a sense that there are loads of aspects in a man’s life that you can’t simply just put it on a simple phrase as OK. Hence, the true meaning of a man’s answer for this question has overshadowed it.
I’m not saying that when you say yes to this question you are lying to yourself. I just want to clarify it. Since it is been use on repeat that our brains put it as a template. So general right?
Ever since this has struck on my mind, I begin to wonder that question. I mean why just simply ask directly to what you really need to know instead of this opening phrase. I know it’s kinda rude just to ask directly but it somehow annoys me. So I end up over analyzing what to reply on the question and end up with gazillion replies instead.
I noticed people to be so protective when it comes to their emotions. Everyone seems to be afraid when they are on the downs, I know I am. Still I have a hard time of releasing the trust I give to people. Yes letting people in to your lives is hard but making them as regular or valued customers is harder.
How about you? How’s your life after reading this?

Hi there...yes i do agree with you that there's something preventing us to trust other people. It seems that the essence of life trusting each other is not that common these days because of the breaks and hurts some people have made in the start. If we're aware, bad feedback seems to spread and ripple faster and longer than good ones.
ReplyDeleteIf someone distrusts one, it would really spread fast. That's where the saying goes, "there are two kinds of people who change - the ones who change for the themselves(protecting more of oneself) and the ones who change the world."
right back at you ms or mr anonymous... thanks for dropping by though :)
