I AM DIFFERENT but...
I know you think that I am not like you, I am different. Yes you may be true, I don't deny the fact that I am unlike you. You may find my differing viewpoints on life very strange. But I am like that. No buddy, don't misunderstand me. I may sound rude or tiring, but I am just concerned about you. I don't really know why I am like this, but yes, I am least worried about myself... It's the people around me whose joys and sorrows constitute an integral part of my world. My life revolves around the people whom I love and their fortunes and misfortunes affect my life as my very own ups and downs would do to me.
From a very early age, I have come to terms with the atrocities of this modern world. Anger, hatred, assault and murder is all that this present century has to offer its most faithful inhabitants. But I am on a quest for making this world a better place to live in - a little less hate, a little more love. You may think that my ideas are too idealistic, too far fetched but I firmly believe in my goals. And I have utmost faith in my ability to love and care for others - selflessly. Today someone told me that I take things too seriously, that I believe people very easily and that I think too much. I don't deny in the slightest that yes, I am like that and at the same time I admit that's probably my greatest mistake while being a denizen of such a treacherous world. But why don't people understand that I AM DIFFERENT! Is it so difficult to accept a different person into a conglomerate of cultures, religions and diversities that you'd sink so low as to call me a "misfit"?
What people fail to understand is my inherent selflessness and goodness considering it as my dubious intentions. And that's what breaks my heart when the very people for whom I was ready to lay down my also, misunderstand me. Believe me, it hurts like hell... But then you ask me how does your certificate of my character affect me? That's the whole point of the issue - my entire life revolves around and derives meaning from the web of relationships around me - parents, family friends...
No, in return I don't expect you to feel the same about me. Every single individual is different and once more I humbly admit and accept that I am a bit too different. But would it be too much to expect you to be just there by my side (even if as a silent spectator) through the general drama of pain- I mean my life. No. Don't get me wrong. I don't want you to share the burden of my problems or spend precious moments listening to my ramblings on life or even to sympathize with me. Just that human presence can sometimes work wonders. I simply want this much from you, my friend - please be there, just be there. If this be asking for too much, then I am extremely sorry. I will still love you with that much of purity and intensity as I have loved my family, my parents and friends. Because I am born to love, to spread love and ensure that the bonds of love grow stronger still. It has never mattered to me that my own peace, priorities, goodness and life itself will one day be sacrificed at the altar of "the greater good".
