Why do we love?

Humans, whether in crowds, or alone, will in one point or another feel lonely. That is one of the many emotions that a human is able to feel. The human mind is then stretched, when it feels more than one emotion at a time. It is sometimes confused too, when it sometimes changes emotions very quickly.

I'm sure you've heard of people feeling lonely when he's amongst a group of people. And ironically, people can feel secured even when he's alone. Why? Is it because he's feeling that no one cares for him? He's like a backup plan, he's insignificant in the eyes of his "friends"? No one really knows. Because as time passes, he has learnt how to play charades - putting up a mask to hide the true feelings that is so easily rejected by society, even better, his "friends". Call it maturity, he has learnt to hide his emotions very well. Unlike some people, he can pretend to be happy, so as not to be a killjoy, and pretend to be emo, so he doesn't have to interact with people. He wonders if that's a good or bad thing, hiding 'em emotions. Only when he's all alone, and in front of God, then will he take off this oh-so-thick mask, and come naked and pathetic before his God.

Disappointment with the Self should only be kept to the Self, and not exposed to everyone around, it may very well hinder other's progress. One's expectations may differ from others, so if people start comparing, those with not-so-high expectations would feel inferior to those who have set their targets high. Sometimes, he feels that way. People all around saying out loud, in front of his face, "Shit, a C sucks! I should have gotten an A!", when he's satisfied with a D. Does that make him feel inferior? Not only is he a retainee, he's worked hard for this result, and there are insensitive people saying, "Wah, I never study also get C, you study so hard also no use." He hates these kind of people. All in all, others shouldn't be involved in your own epectations of the Self, because it's between the Self and the I, not the Self and Society. That's different.

Society is bringing about harmful things, violent acts, and vulgar voices. A taboo in the past, may very well be used freely on the streets nowadays. Something that is considered inappropriate in the past is now roaming the streets. Development has taken society to a whole new level. A level that some cannot bear to enter, because they still cling on to the past that they can't seem to let go, and thus falling behind, into the rustiness of the past, while everyone else is getting synchronised with the iPhone/iTouch and what not. Can't a guy keep his past? If everyone starts erasing it, where does his identity lie then?
