Stop Expecting Start Expressing.

For the last few days, I have been watching a particular motivational video on my social media over and over again. People shared that one after another with so many captions added on that. There is a limit to everything and now it has broken. Because the people who are sharing and adding captions are not appropriate with that one. If they had given proper thoughts on that video, they would have felt ashamed and tried to fix themselves instead of sharing with the colorful captions.

Actually, a motivational speaker of the country was giving some advice on selecting friends around us. He pointed out some qualities of fake friends and how a real friend should be. To be honest, I also agree with that, we all need a circle of friends where we can blindly put our trust that they will stand beside us no matter what the situation is. He also pointed to the same aspect! I have also loved the idea and his speech, I don't have any problem with that. The problem is with the people who are sharing the video with so many fancy captions with it.

Most of them are on the run of regretting that they don't have such true friends around them. They are cheated, broken, misused bla bla bla. Okay, I got it too. But all the people who are sharing aren’t perfect in their places too. Let alone perfect, they aren’t good enough. On my social media profile, I know each of my friends personally. I don't add unknown people. So whoever shares it, I know pretty well how he or she truly is. And how fake they are trying to be on social media, just to gain some sympathy. People are adding captions like, "I don't have any friend who will come to rescue me at 1 AM." Trust me, the person who shared it, won't even go out after 11 PM if you ask for any help from him. Some are adding captions like, " I am surrounded with lots of snakes in the form of humans." but he is the most selfish guy in their circle. I hate these kinda fake people. They just keep sitting idle being dependant on others without even trying to complete their part.

I feel like laughing on and on after seeing these kinda fake impressions from people. Some are mentioning their friends as true friends and I felt delighted about that too. I was angry with those fake ones who are indifferent to their own actions. Actually most people expect others to be the best in their service. But they don't have the mentality to be the best in the same way for the others. This is not the proper way how things work. We gotta express ourselves too in order to expect from them. Before pointing out the errors from the opposite person we need to check if we are clean enough or not. If the two sides aren’t mutual enough then it's very hard to balance.

There are plenty of people who are always there for their friends, some of them are completely selfless. I always had the mentality to help others as much as I can. In return, I have got their help and respect too. As I had walked towards them they have also walked the other half for me too. That's how everything looks beautiful. Standing in the same place and expecting the other person to walk the whole way doesn’t work well. So we all need to reduce expectations from others instead of that we need to express ourselves too.
