I just realized something, based on the comments and post-views of my blog posts, that people don't like advice. People love fiction. Fiction always gives people like me a choice to see themselves in the story, even if it is completely unrelated to their lives. At the same time, giving people a choice to just read an anecdote without relating to it in any way. Distance makes them feel safe I guess. "It's something happening to someone else, at some other time, at some other place. This can never happen to me!" Ha! Guess what? :)
There was a guest in our women's group lunch this week - who mentioned: " People always think that good is something "up" there, or "down" there. You either look up to someone or try to look deep down inside. Why can't we restrict ourselves to just surface, why are we trying to find something above or below the surface! Why do we read in between the lines and not just read the lines. Someone like me actually, not only reads between the line, I even write between the lines only! :P Can't tell the truth! Truth is much much stranger than fiction but sometimes not so much fun to say!
This Valentine's day - Try telling someone - I don't like you from the bottom of my heart or the depth of my soul. My love for you is only skin-deep.
