Desired Attention



Since childhood, there are dozens of drama series which portray the need for attention in human beings, in which most of the time is through relationship between nonhuman spirits and mankind. The script writers have put it in such a way that even living nonhuman beings possess somewhat similar emotions as compared to humans, which makes them whole and living. With the intention of reflecting us mankind’s characteristics perhaps, it is rather common to see how often the nonhuman spirits would fall for mankind who expresses care or offers help at particular crucial time frame, especially when they least expect attention from those who they perceived as higher ranked or different. This reflects our desire for attention, one way or another, regardless the fact that we may already have sufficient attention or, deprived of some spotlight, which further explain why some people would go head over heels when their crush look them in the eyes and smile. Certainly, there are the various degrees and types of attention exist, where different individuals would be in search of different levels of need. Nonetheless, is the attention given by particular being the one we truly need? Could it somehow be the self-created illusion in which to satisfy or perhaps, giving us hopes that we may still stand a chance? What could be the final result to the attention seeking behaviour we have in us? The answer lays still in our hand.
