Random rambling

....its a fact that most ppl dont realize...one can get to know only a very small number of people in a life time. All these social circles and parties give us the illusion that our worlds are crowded...but how many ppl do we really really know?...frankly, i do blieve that one lifespan is too short a time-period to even get to know oneself fully. It's quite natural - even i am pretty apprehensive about letting people share close emotional proximities with me. Happens when you have been bitten a couple of times. Many of us end up living in dream worlds as it seems to be a safer option..and it goes on till perhaps when you come across someone you feel is worth taking the risk for.Look around, and we find that there really isnt much of reality left..people wanna spend their time lost in movies, music, books, ...each of which is infact a temporary suspension of reality - a kind of self hypnosis that we keep doing on a regular basis...the more creative amongst us go for stuff which demands even more involvement..like writing our own stories and creating our own worlds and characters...One has to be either suicidal, or completely boring to want to be realistic
