People

People are fascinating. All you have to do in order to see this is to sit down and watch them. See how they behave and hear what they say.

People are contradictorial. They can lecture you for hours on how you should have done or handled things. But they don't do it themselves when they should.

People are surprising. They behave in the most unexpected way when you least expect it. And sometimes it's the contrary of what you had been expecting.

People are deceiving. After having spent some time with them, you have a certain image about them. Then suddenly everything changes 180°.

People are mind readers. Sometimes one look is enough to understand what the other one is thinking about. Looks tell more than a thousand words.

People are dreamers. Some of them are living in fantasies. Even though they know that fantasies never meet the real life, they try to do this.

People walk on the edge. They like taking chances and doing things about which they don't know how they will turn out. Maybe they just need the extra kick.

People are changing. They face new events and situations from one day to another. These are the things that create all the curves and edges of one's character.

People are defensive. They build up walls around them to defend themselves from intruders. What if the intruder is from within?

People are actors. They disguise their feelings and thoughts and sometimes behave like bafoons. But there is always someone who is allowed to take a look inside them.

People are people. People are unique. One lifetime is not enough to figure them out. But why even try? This is what lets life shine in so many bright colours. A small stain of colour in the infinte blackness of the Universe. And each of us is a part of it. Isn't that an encouraging thought?

Music!!!

  1. Sweet! People are full of prejudices, misconceptions and fear. People are paradoxical, a description of our personality may not define us completely or may not be entirely real. But this is what we are, more or less. All on this "pale blue dot suspended on a sunbeam" (Carl Sagan).

  2. People are people
    So why should it be
    You and I should get
    Along so awfully
    People are people
    So why should it be
    You and I should get
    Along so awfully

    So we're different colours
    And we're different creeds
    And different people have different needs
    It's obvious you hate me
    Though I've done nothing wrong
    I've never ever met you so what could I have done

    I can't understand
    What makes a man
    Hate another man
    Help me understand

    People are people...

    Help me understand
    Help me understand

    Now you're punching
    And you're kicking
    And you're shouting at me
    I'm relying on your common decency
    So far it hasn't surfaced
    But I'm sure it exists
    It just takes a while to travel
    From your head to your fists

    I can't understand
    What makes a man
    Hate another man
    Help me understand

  3. People are unique indeed, but it is such a pity that blinded by envy, they try to imitate others...
