Accepting people ........!

People rarely turn out to be what we expect them to be. we get unhappy with people when we dont find them according to what we want.
But why is that we often forget that every individual has his or her own individuality that one has to accept.
we are so obsessed about our conception of the other person that we find it difficult to accept the individual as he is.
may be, it rightly said that home is a place where we are accepted as we are and whatever we are.
Unfortunately, there are two situations wherin we forget to "Accept People" as they are.
one being the society, ...
how often have we spent more time in analysing other's life style... ranging from the divorce the celibrity took up to his recent showoff of power...! though it has got absolutely no significance to us .

or be it in relations... here again people are so obsessed with not just their wants but also they dictate as to how others should be.
its an expression of getting things go their way .. though a ver strong managerial aspect .. it hardly respects others for what they are ..(leave alone considering what they do)!!!

so i feel they key for any realtionship to succeed is to basically understand that there is the soul .. an individual alive and happening in the person infront of us!
this basic courtesy would solve half of the problems we create and fret these days !!!

i perfectly understand the pain the readers undergo while reading my typo ridden posts!!! so here i stop this post!!!!!!

Agree with you... People generally form images of others in their minds and they don't exactly match their mental images they get disappointed.... they don't realise that reality is more important than their mental projections & expectations!

True Push.. Celebrity craze is obviously one that beats me.. cant stand it..

One Should accept ppl and if they find them likeable yet at odds with.. then they should debate never diss them..

better off moving away from them than getting involved in mud slinging

Hmmm... if people could accept others open mindedly, the world would be Eden...we wouldn't have known what world wars were, India and Pakistan would've merged, there'd be no racism....but sigh!

Good post...should've elaborated though.

what does this mean : " an individual alive and happening in the person infront of us!"

Prem !!
if tghis iswat u wanted to clarify !!
"so i feel they key for any realtionship to succeed is to basically understand that there is the soul .. an individual alive and happening in the person infront of us!"
most of us expect others to do wat we want or wat we like rather than accepting a fact that its the other person's life and he can live the way he wants to!
so its high time we realise there is a soul very much alive in front of us!
