Third Affection

Sometimes wonder, are we living our own dreams or of others’ instead? Is our doing related to what we like to do or even what we want to do in the first place? Why the opinions of third parties can affect us so bad that we lose control of the direction and even ourselves at times? Dreams can be real and the reality can be dreams; whichever it is, how clear are we? There is no clear cut, no nothing especially when the perspectives are all mixed up and we have no idea where to start with. We have those who are in dilemma when there are two or more options given, people who ask others to make the decisions on their behalf, individuals who struggling hard to survive and yet end up coming back to the starting point where the history repeats. What the others have to say are indirectly affecting our thoughts and decisions being made, which may boost us up to the top or perhaps, kick us down the bottomless pit; say, we agree with the others on how insignificant we are, we allow people to ruin our confidence being built after years of effort, we welcome them to tell us what we are instead of us searching for the answer. Indeed there are times where the third parties know better, but not always; as what they see might only be the surface and not the inner part of ours.
