people...

"i dont like people"... who says such things??? i do...

i was joking when i said it though... but it did get me thinking... ok,, i was joking as far as the "people" in that case were concerned... a nicer set of people i never have seen before... but hmmm... there are other "people" that i dont like... maybe im weird... i prefer my company to that of others at times... im not a people-person... i enjoy being alone... just me... and my music... just me... and my dog... just me... and my thoughts... just me... and my books... just me...

idle chatter tires me... at times... i hate making conversation just coz i have to... i think its pure torture having to spend time with someone just coz u have to... i hate it when i have to feign interest in something the other person wants to ramble on and on about... but wait... is it just me,,, or do other people think that way too??

people are different... or are they??? crazy analogies come to mind... people are like clothes... they come in different styles, colours and sizes... but theyre clothes all the same... they serve the same purpose (or dont!)... you like some clothes n you cant stand some... you keep wearing clothes you're comfortable in and wear certain others just when you have to make an impression... its the same with people... they come in different styles, colours and sizes... but theyre people all the same.. they serve the same purpose (or dont!)... you like some people n you cant stand some... you keep hanging around with some people that you're just so comfortable with and you hang around with few others when you have to make an impression... there! people are like clothes! :D

i was thinking today abt my ill-judged statement... "i dont like people"... if it didnt sound so negative id say i meant it... :D maybe i should rephrase it... "i love few people"... there! that didnt sound so bad, did it? and whats better,,, its absolutely true... there are a few people who make life worth living... :) as for the rest,,, their presence or the lack of it, makes no difference to me... i guess God put them on earth, coz there are other people who find them indispensible... hmm... just where is this post going??? ive no idea...

another thing i thought today was... "i prefer dogs to people"... chuckle... okie... i know that sounds crazy... but it is true... you can be who you are with a dog and it will be the same to you... it either likes you or doesnt like you and it doesnt bother hiding the fact either way... a lick / a bite... it decides and sticks to it... people, on the other hand are not so simple... they might like you for one thing and hate you for another... they might like what you have and hate you for having it... they might love you and not show it... they might hate you and not show it... oh heck! you people know what people are like!

and when i get all cynical n anti-people,,, i come across someone who makes me fall in love with humankind!!! happens all the time... believe me, you, there are selfless people,,, there are honest people,,, there are thoughtful people... there are people who wish well for you... there are people who truly love other people... like i said before,,, there are people who make life worth living... here's to people! cheers!
