What will the people say?

 This is the phrase which we have said or heard most of our lives. Our lives are governed by these five words ' what will the people say'. Actually who are these people who influence our lives so much. These are the one who live in and around our homes, offices, schools, colleges… or even passer byes. They may be or not may be related to us. In many cases they may not even know us properly. But it is their sole right to criticise all without knowing the exact situation. They simply pass the judgements. That’s all. And we take them seriously.
Most of the times we see that these judgements adversely affect us. We may want to do something or we can say anything… first thing that would come to our minds what will others say to this. How will the people react, do or say to this. Before our own approval we need others' nod. Well it is not so that we should not think about others . We should . But not at the cost of our mental peace. We should consider others opinions. When it concerns them, not when we are talking about our own individual choices.
What happens is that in giving importance to others we forget the most important person about whom all the thing is about. Most of the times it is about us own self. In keeping others happy and satisfied we keep on hurting ourselves . In pleasing others we neglect our own feelings, our own likes or dislikes. This actually harms our minds and thoughts. Only one life is given to us and that too we spend in pleasing others. When will we live for our own selves.
Keep in mind we are our own worlds. We may keep in view our loved ones or family or in that matter our friends but that too not at the cost of our own happiness. Because if we are happy and satisfied souls we will be able to make others also happy. Make this world a better place by being happy without caring about what the people will say….
