First I, Then you.

Morality and conscience. Big words! A relatively smaller scope for emphasis, while some major differences they do create. Despite a few small allowances, the capabilities are still extensive. The word is still big.

How many people would respond emphathetically though? Even if the impression might appear surreal, and certainly aim at 'rhetorical', an ambitious perspective wouldn't refrain from asking why people try so hard. What do they want to prove? Why do they come about needing the proof?

Humanity is one of the few viable resources that remains susceptible to most - people, emotions, actions - you name it. Limited mentality wouldn't get you places. It is but the very thought of carefree, evolving, ever-changing circumstances that should bring out the life, and kill the bottled-up-ness. Understanding emotions and sentiments sure increases your EQ. But where does it leave you when you're actually out there dealing with a real-life situation? a crisis? feelings running haywire? And hands-on exprerience might get you immensely baffled for the most part. It, however, enhances a sense, an ability to correlate and concern yourself with what is out there. While most of it may catch you unawares, strike you between the eyes and yet still fail to create a lasting impact, some of it may invaluably add to the dexterous situation. Widen the dimensions, bring up new ideas and stack 'em into your little book of experience, and grant an eventful memory - awaiting reminiscience, to be built upon and sensibly shared.

They say that, to get something out of it, you first need to put in something. A hint of this old-world vibe in the air might be accompanied by compulsions. Orthodox thought-processes that would otherwise not stand a chance in the deep, dark decay that continues its proliferation. To be 'who' you always wanted to be, you are required to think in the liberated way you always wished to - and to ofcourse strike a balance once out there, for change lurks around as always. And shouldn't it?

Being nice, being humane - acting out your prescribed scene (no Shakespearean pun intended). What about it wouldn't attract even the teeniest bit of reciprocity that you're not looking for but cannot help finding? And why not, if it gets you what you want and helps in keeping you happy! Endlessly cliched, but the world is still big. And all the world's a stage, all the men and women merely players. Fairplay, indeed. =D
