OF the broad spectrum of thoughts and emotions that we experience, why do we withhold so many of them just to follow the rules of society? We offer false sentiments just to make someone feel better eventhough we know things might not work out well, we make polite conversations with people that we really cant stand, and we surpress so many of our opinions so that we dont offend someone else! All of this just to satisfy the necessities of a social order that seems far more unnatural than all the thoughts and emotions that we feel.

And the point of it all...apparently its to create social order! but im not sure that it necessarily always leads to a greater good. Am i helping someone by giving them false hope, wouldnt they be better able to face reality if they had someone who was helping them to see it for what it really is? Why not just tell someone how u really feel about them so you dont have to pretend and make yourself face unpleasant emotions in order to just hide one that is unpleasant to them? 

I suppose our ability to control ourselves is what inherently makes us human, we are not just a function of our genes, our hormones, our basic fundamental elements but more than that! But we fight our natures for the greater good, and sometimes we end up fighting so much that we end up becoming something that dont even want to become. I dont know about you, but i sometimes get tired of it all; i want to be able to tell someone that im angry it took them 20 hrs to reply to an sms, i want to be able to tell someone i love them without feeling like its the wrong thing, and i want to tell that colleague of mine what a mother fucker i really think he is. But i know that if i do all those things, my friend might think im being petty over a small thing, i may end up sacrificing everyone else i love for just one person, or i may never be able to get my co-worker to give me the docs i asked for! so we just end up following the rules, society keeps moving, but we may just be ending up a population of emotionless zombies!

Try it. Try telling them you're angry about the sms. Tell him you love him and then worry about it later. Tell your boss (in the nicest possible way) you hate him.

What will happen, will happen. Life is too short to give up because of 'possible' unpleasantness.

Same rules apply to reaching for something that people feel will not happen for you, don't they?

People are not going to be happy with you anyway. You might as well be happy knowing you got what was bothering you out of your system!

I just can't stop myself from laughing by imagining the situation if your colleague has read your "nice" comments about him.
