I think it’s nothing but common to all of us that we say things and do nothing to substantiate it. And then we say some other thing again. I think we all have been taught this by some way or the other that ‘actions speak better than words’, but nope we don’t follow and we won’t!
Okay to make it simpler I think I should add one example – okay… ummmmmmm k got it… now it goes like this- there is this friend of mine who used to call me a lot and I used to enjoy chatting with him and then he started calling me at odd hours when I was either busy or didn’t want to talk to nobody. It is not that we no longer had things left to talk about… nope we certainly had a lots but I just cannot talk to him all the time. And so whenever I was busy I used to tell him all sorts of stories and cut the phone.
Now human beings also have this tendency to consider oneself as smarter (if not smartest) at least than the immediate person. And so little did I realize that this guy knew it all, that I had started ignoring his calls. And one day he just told me this, but I am a good actor [ ;) see da smarter part comes into play here again] and I rejected his genuine grievances. But having done that I had altogether made a fool of myself, as I knew this guy will again start calling whenever he gets bored or excited to share something, so I had to think of a plan to call it a day. So I called this guy a day later and told him that the way he talked with me wasn’t very good and I can’t tolerate such things even from such a close friend like him, coz beyond all things what I care the most is my self respect. And this is how I got rid of him for at least a time being.
But the question still is very much the same- m I still considering myself smarter here? Or the guy clearly knows that I have got so many assignments and tests to tackle than to just do time- pass with him ?? Now the thing is simple enough we say things but fail to substantiate it by deeds, but the irony is people here aren’t blockheads.
