There are people...

(I wrote this in high school -6 years ago)

There are people who pretend to be what they are not. They mould themselves to what the society thinks of being right or wrong. These people sacrifice principles if they have any; to society's opinion of them. They fail to realise that the majority can be of the wrong views. Basing their lives on what other people think of them leads them to a life they don't want to live. They do things which they would not do otherwise, The paradox is that even if they get society's approval they feel empty.

There are people who fail to stand up for what they believe in. They fear disagreement /disapproval if the other person does not agree fearing that they might be proven wrong.

There are people who reach intellectual levels which are higher than those of many. They criticise people who are not like them or whom they preceive lower then them. Unfortunately the irony is that this criticism makes such people reach the same level as others or even lower levels.

There are people who fail just because they think they will. They do not try due to the fear of failure. They let their point of views become reality. They are limited by their own ambition and thus fail to fulfill their potential. They draw their own boundaries and never want to reach the other side.

There are people who do things which are important momentarily and ignore things which may be beneficial in the long term .

There are people who think they are perfect .Their imperfection is the "vision" of their own perfection. Unconsciously permanent faults creep in and their failure to practice self criticism is their downfall.

There are people...........................
