when is change more evident and acceptable?
when you can see the past as a reel in your head and compare it to the way things are now?
or
When the change is so radical.. that the past is wiped out... of memory and existance.. and that you come to accept that this is the way it has always been?
What abut when the change in internal... when no one can see the change more eveidently than you can?
When you look into the mirror trying to recognize a familiar face.. failing miserably in the process...
and are you welcome to getting to know this familiar person all over again? are you welcome to placing yourself in the skin, flesh and blood of that person.. the one that looks familiar but defers from radically from you?
and then do you ask yourself what YOU is all about anyways?
how can you define YOU?
is it the impression that people have of you? or the experience of being you?
which one do you value more?
where is it that you will draw the line .. to go back to the experience.. not caring about the image...
and then again.. is it about the image at all?
or is it about the interaction?
does your image alter your interaction with people around you?
and if it does.. what will u place on a higher pedestal?
the experience of your interaction with that familair person you see opposite you through a sheet of glass?
or the person standing opposite you in flesh and blood?
and you know ... and the end of the day... that the one person that the sheet of glass seperates you from.. is the one person that has to accept you for what you are more than the million others who stand in full flesh and blood across you...
and what if that virtual image that u see opposite you doesnt accept you for who you are?
It is that "reflection" that makes you realise... change has happened... and it is up to your interaction with your "reflection" that you either accept the change... or change the change...
are you welcome to whoever you are then?
and if you are... isnt it a pity!

"I am not trying to be someone else, its just a different myself"
ReplyDeleteThats how I have justified my 'self-perception' sometimes. But then we cant beat the theory of ideal and real self! ;)
Would it sound funny if I said change isnt measurable? :-S
