Persona

We all shall take break. But at times, when it becomes prolonged, you get time to think and rethink, and you get to think a lot of thing including you, yourself.

I believe if not all, most of us, want to be unique. And by unique what we mean, we mean our "Persona", how we would like to be perceived. But at times the burden of that Persona, which is not always your true-self, is so heavy that you even can't think of breaking it. Can we?

We all experience frustration, depression, at times. And it's quite natural. Isn't it similar to being happy or excited in some way. All these are human emotions after all. And like all the other things, its us, who have judged what is wrong, what is right? What is acceptable, what is not?

For my entire life I have been a good person; either a good boy, or a gentleman. Doesn't matter how hard you try, things are not always under your control. You loose temper. You want to shout, you want to shout so loud that you would be relieved from all those pains, the agony. Yet, you can't do it. Because you don't want to be perceived that way. 

It takes a lifetime to create an image, a persona, but one wrong act, and its broken, shattered are your reputation. Your image is gone.You are all wrong. You loose the respect, and may be the self respect as well.

But does that worth it all. Will not it be much easier, if we could let loose, if not all the times, at times at least, to set ourselves free.........

After-all we shall be bigger than our image, not the way around
