The Musings of an Optimistic Cynic (:

Man will forever See what He wants to See. God gave Him a Mind so he could think, though now the Mind deceives Man, and disagrees with its very purpose.

From a month, I’ve stopped enjoying school the way I used to. School for Me used to be second Home, though now it has become merely tolerable, bordering on unbearable.
So I now sit in the last bench and while the Teacher isn’t around, I while away my time thinking How nice school WOULD have been... How nice school COULD have been.

All One could want from a Friend is unending Trust... Unwavering Support... Unswerving Loyalty and that streak of Selflessness. Is it too much to ask of Someone whom, in the Truest Sense of the Word, you call, A Friend?

Maybe Today it is. Because beyond an exam, Your OWN exam, there’s probably nothing You can think of. I won’t blame anyone, maybe I’m such a creature too. I CHOOSE to see My Friends as Unselfish. Not that they were, not that they are, just that that is what I Choose. Maybe it IS definitely wrong to See... Because what You See is what You wish to See. And before long, before You know it, the Sight before You becomes a Hope, the Hope a Dream, the Dream a Vision of Perfection, the Perfection shattered the Way a mirror will be.

And yet, in those million pieces, one won’t stop Himself from searching for His own Reflection: What He wants to See. What He wants to Be. Because a shattered mirror will again, always be a Mirror. . . A million different pieces of a Mirror You once nourished.

Like I said, I’ve started sitting in the last bench away from everyone. I can’t figure out whether it is the Shallowness that effects Me most, or the Streak of Selflessness that I’m still searching for...

Maybe its both? But My classmates, as I said, refuse to See. They think ‘m deep in thought, preparing for the forthcoming exams.

You only choose to see that which please You. . .

So don’t See at all... Or maybe continue to See.

Because Life’s always going to be a dilemma.

What You See... is what is hiding the infinitesimally small, beautifully intricate and uncountably many layers of Truth within That which You see.

You See what You wish to See

Be it in Others or within Yourself...

As a Very Special Person always says, “ Its all Within You.”

Yours Truly,

An Optimistic Cynic. :)
