Antonyms

We may be smiling in front of the crowd but deep down we are tearing in the heart. We might not be sad even if we look like one and we certainly may not look as happy as we seem to be at particular moments. Simple, not complicated. There are times where we like to keep problems to ourselves and there are times where we need a listener to loosen our stress, to make us feel better than ever, rather than keeping it inside us, till it reaches the maximum and explodes. Perhaps we do not have one specific listener; for we prefer to share a little here and there regarding our lives and problems occurred. However, there are always the exceptional, whereby one and only one listener would do the job just fine. Lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure; quote which may or may not apply for all, depending on the situation at cost. Moments where we want to hear only the specific comments from others, even though we request for something different; this is us, the complex mankind who tries to simplify everything possible, be it answers to our questions or keys to Mother Nature’s replies. Hence, there is no guarantee that many advises would all be accepted, since we would somehow adjust it according to our very own terms and conditions. A fake smile it can be or a consolation from the bottom of the heart; to fool the people around it can be or to show our appreciation sincerely; to spend time with one particular person it can be or simply a companion is what we need; to guide one out from misery it can be or it is the heart that calls for duty. We have the good and evil, the needs and desires, the forwards and backwards, the conscious and subconscious; the antonyms of one and another, with or without us realizing it, even with the grey area in between.
