Be Yourself

I was in the bus the other day, there were a few children in the bus and they were playing happily. The kids were laughing loudly and one of the boys was trying to hang like a monkey from the bar above. The other people in the bus were just looking at the kids and laughed at their antics. Then, I wondered what if an adult or someone around my age had acted like them? The people would have been staring at the latter as if they had gone mad or they would be thinking what is wrong with these people, they have no manners or they are so immatured.



This is what I do not understand because things that we were able to do when we were young, if we do it now it is not accepted. Why can’t we be ourselves? Why do we have to carry a different image when we are at home and when we are outside? Why can’t we be the same wherever we go? I once saw a movie where the heroin in the movie was a bubbly and naive person. She acted the same at home and outside. So when she was outside people looked at her like she was a weirdo or something.


My opinion is that people should be the same wherever they are. What is there to hide? Well, I think it is easier said than done I guess. Nevertheless, its not wrong to be who we are when we are out there.
