People Change....
Over years, over time, over months, and yes,even over just a matter of a few days, people change.People change so much so that you wouldn't believe it is the same person.
At moments, they utter a statement that compels you to reminisce with wonder,why this is the same person who said just the opposite, only the other day! I hope you are not thinking I'm talking of our much celebrated politicians? Not at all.
I'm talking of those over-friendly individuals who you rub shoulders with along life's path. Every Single Day.
I'd only heard of fairweather friends. Now life's given me a chance to see them in flesh and blood. I've seen how position and money, or the deprivation of it, can make them do a cartwheel in the other direction. Only money's real.
And once this realisation sinks in into my now toughened senses, everything seems fake. Each word as it is spoken, has little effect. Conversation flows on like the sea all around,while each is an island by himself, cocooned in his own musings.
In this past year, I've grown. More from inside than otherwise. Thanks to Recession, the convenient scapegoat, and the events that followed,I feel I know a whole lot about human behaviour already. Much more than what piles of books or scores of courses on behavioural coaching could have taught me.
