Stop to think over this bit

Its been my observation that people who tend to go to extremes of emotions, tend to always be swayed a lot.

Its like saying, the more resistance you offer to change, the greater chance of you getting changed.

This concept applies to everything that happens around you. Why otherwise do you see the aerodynamic design in vehicles ( cos otherwise the performance of the vehicle is compromised due to air resistance).

People who are radical in their viewpoints tend to be pushed down in the long run. People who are pretty smart ( and slightly out of the ordinary ), are always the ones getting the rude stares and rebukes, the reason being in a way, that they are drawing too much unwanted attention to themselves.

Maintaining a low profile therefore, is a way of being a moderate person, at least in the eyes of the onlookers ;)

So, if you are with me till now on this concept of mine, I ll go a little ahead by saying, the lesser resistance you offer to even things you despise, the lesser negative effects those things will have on you.

So if you say while joining college, for example, that it is an infuriatingly damned place and you ll never ever miss it after you have passed out; the more chances that you will dearly and most painfully miss it when you are actually out of it !!!

Peace,

keeping hi/low profile cannot really be a conscious endevour can it?? u r who u r... u keep a low profile, u r tryin to hide who u really are.. u try n keep a hi profile, u r tryn to portray urself as sm1 u r not... its however true, more often than not, that wen u r bein yourself without givin a damn about profiles, u tend to b noticed, liked/hated etc. but the consolation is that u r being liked/hated for who u r...............

Interesting observation!!! Infact, I have pondered over the same for long...I have often felt too that the more you resist something, the closer you tend to move towards it! It's been that way, atleast with me. I've learnt that its best to leave certain things as they are without resisting the change....budds, Great job on this one. But I'd like to differ on the part where you mentioned about maintaing a low profile....I feel people should be the way they are, as long as they do not consciously hurt the feelings of others....:)
