BUILDING BETTER HABITS

Masquerading
The
modern society is a conundrum. Things are not what they seem to be. People are
hiding. They are masquerading. They want to be your friend during the day. And
the moment you turn your back on them. They start playing games. They are your
enemies at night. They talk about you. Say things that are not true. They are
cleansing themselves by projecting you as a bad person. They want to be
accepted by other people. They are looking for people who agree with them. You
differed in opinion. And they did not like it. But said nothing when you were
around. Now that night has come. They have found an opportunity. An opportunity
not just to talk about you but also do other malicious activities. Activities
such as, destruction. Destroying your stuff even when that stuff is not in
public. But they found it.
Why
do people always have a problem with you and they cannot put that problem in clear
words? Why can’t the problem be explained in clear, simple language? If, at all
it is an issue of concern. Why is somebody not saying anything when you are
around? Why can’t the issue of concern be brought to your attention if, it is a
genuine matter? But again, this is modern society for you. People having issues
with you, but not having the courage to say those things in your face. They
have to wait until you are gone. When you are not there. When you cannot say
anything at all, that is the right time. What is wrong with people? Why do we have all
these masqueraders in society? People pretending to be this, when they are
that. They are friends during the day and enemies at night. Speaking negatively
about you. Talking as if, they know you. Yet your interactions with them are
very limited.
You
only bump into each other by chance. And during that encounter, no words are
exchanged. You do not have interest in them. They are not the right people for
you. You don’t want a relationship with them. Nothing about them impresses you.
You know nothing about them. Other than where they live. Beyond that, you don’t
know anything else. In essence, they are strangers or just familiar people that
you see every now and then. But to them, these chance meetings and encounters,
translate to knowing you. And they think that those limited encounters have
enough material about you. So they are playing with your stuff. And you are
this kind of person. The kind of person that they describe to other people. The
nonexistent you. That is who they talk about. Building from one
misrepresentation to the other.
They
talk about attributes that are not you. They spread lies about you. And in the
process of talking about you so much, they begin to get emotionally attached.
They develop an element of hatred towards you or the nonexistent you. This
hatred pushes them to do something bad. They want to attack you. They want to
play with your things. And when you are in close proximity, they don’t speak
their mind. They pretend. They masquerade as good people. Peace loving people.
People with dignity. Yet, in real sense, malicious is their second name.
Masquerading is their game. They wanted attention from you. And when you did
not pay attention to them, they developed feelings. Now they must punish you.
They must do something. Something that will cost you. Something that will
result in a loss. And you don’t know them.
See People
See
people for who they are. If, you detected their pretense and dark side. That is
who they are, no matter how fast they run away from it. They are not genuine.
And you were right by wanting nothing with them. They play bad games under the
table. They want to drag you in their mess. They want to carry out nasty acts
and still pass as good people. They are hiding. See them for who they are, they
are not good people. Don’t allow them close to you. Let them keep talking about
you in absentia. That
is exactly where they fit. Over there. Far from you. Away from you. Keep them
away from you. Their intentions are to destroy your good spirit. You are in
good mood. They don’t want you in good mood. They want to distract your mind.
Introduce other things in your mind. Distractions, which make you less focused
on things that you care about.
Your
peace. You are a peaceful person. You love your privacy. You enjoy quiet environments.
You love your company. And they wonder why you don’t join them. So, they are
finding a way to disrupt. They want chaos for you. They want you to talk to
them. They want you to stop doing what you are enjoying. They want you like
them. But you are not them. You are totally a different person than what they
think they know. You have tamed your ways. You are settled. You have
contentment. Your operations are smooth. They are usually no chaos around you.
So, they want to bring some around you. See people for who they are. A
masquerading person pretends. The person will always pretend. The person will
always harm. He/she will destroy. The person will uproot good. Notice them.
Notice
these people and keep them away from your court. It is not your problem that
they are insecure. It is not your problem that they have bad communication
styles. It is not your problem that they don’t ask questions. These are their
problems because they are the ones that harbor them. Why don’t they ask
questions if, they have concerns about you? You are very close to them. Why do
they fight you when you are not around? Why do they speak falsely about you? If,
they want attention from you, why can’t they put that in clear words? If, they
want a relationship with you, why are they not saying anything? But they are
attacking you in absentia. These are their problems not yours. They surely have
a problem with you. They cannot just find the right words to communicate the
problem. And since they know they have a problem with you, they don’t talk to
you.
This
is society for you. It pretends sometimes. It masquerades. You need to be
careful. Not everyone you see is what he appears to be. They look happy but
they are not happy. They seem okay but they are not okay with you. They don’t
say they are not okay with you. But they are not okay with you. They hate your
progress. And they are looking for ways to slow you down. They want you stuck.
They want you stagnated and idle like them. But this is not you. They don’t
know you. And they think that by attacking you behind the scenes, you will not
know it is them. They are pretending during the day. Passing as genuine people.
Yet, they are the enemy at night. See them as the enemy. Go past the mask. See
them for who they are. See society for what it is. A place with so many threats
you need to overcome. You have hidden enemies behind your back. Never forget
that.
