The wise sayings: Hype and the reality part II

 In love with the My-Kind quotes

"My kind quotes"??
That's what you might be thinking about. I call them by this name,as out of the millions of the quotations,citations and excerpts,I'm in love with specifically these ones.Why?

They say,your acts must be always the ethically justified..that,if you're not doing something morally correct,you're a sinner. The "my kind"quotes give me the best lessons,the best logic,and most importantly,corroborate my each decision,no matter how correct or wrong I may be(in ethical terms). The best feature: they are the most pragmatic quotes that work according to the present day vicious society.

I ended my previous blog post with a note ,that the sayings by the great-great people have become anachronistic: they are of no use if you apply them in this "corrupt and malicious" society. Being ingenuous here doesn't bring much good to you,you are always exploited for you goodness(Do I need to exemplify?) The "my kind" quotes are such a collection which makes it easier for me to deal with the problems in their raw+crude form,rather than portraying them as something which can be taken over "by love and good human deeds".

Here are my topmost favourite quotations:

1.“Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.”  ― Albert Camus
Consider a situation: You know a person inside-out whom you have to work with,he knows about his traits too-he is lazy,he is the one who carries absolutely no knowledge about anything,he knows he is the weakest in your group. But still,he continues to pretend to be "I know everything" sort of person,argues on an intelligent topic giving the stupidest views. Its a pestering feeling,remember in such a situation what  Camus said :)

2.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” ― Albert Einstein

Stupids stupids everywhere,not a place to go

How I wish people assimilate the above fact,people won't be fretted by them anymore! :)

3."How can a women be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her  as if she were a perfectly normal human being" -Oscar Wilde
It is rather a feminist "my-kind" quote - it justifies all those women who have dumped their "better half" (or halves? ) for reasons such as: he has not paid attention to her,he has not given her time or that he has taken her for-granted(reasons which people say are paltry to be acknowledged for a breakup). Don't incline much girls,a guy who hasn't valued you for once will never value you in future,too!

4.“All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. ” ― Mark Twain

The word "ignorance" here specially caught my eyes.You know you cannot get rid of a person: someone who is you "friend" but her nature pisses you off. Instead of cribbing all the time about how much you dislike her,ignore her actions to an extent that they do not bother you the next time you "encounter" them,then be it if says she's a better human than anyone else,or if she says she can manage better marks is she studies as much as you do(such questions are irresistible to answer,but..ignore!) Ignorance is a bliss.

5.“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.” ― André Gide

I would prefer to be looked down with hatred,than being fakingly sugary-sweet to everyone.It helps me to continue to be the way Iam,and not to change myself to suit others.

6.“Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.” 

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

The obvious situations that suits this is: when you have been candid in saying something too bitter for someone to accept.They won't  forgive you easily,inspite of the fact that they themselves know the truth. Its the saddest part with those who support the ethically correct thing: you never have an easy path. But,continue to abide by your ideas,not caring about if you are forgiven or not.

7.“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” ― Mark Twain

For all those double-sided people out there,who pretend to be good at face but leave no chance of back-stabbing you. Their act doesn't astound me anymore,as I always have this quote in my mind.It has also made believe in another thing: no one is totally saintly-natured. So next time you meet someone who is all sweet to you,and about whom you haven't heard any bitching, do not presume her to be a saint,remember, everyone has a dark side which they show when the appropriate time arrives.

8.“There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.” ― G.K. Chesterton
I don't know if its just me or anyone else around me thinks alike too,but I've started feeling as if the "quality" of people around me has deteriorated. Either,they don't understand me,or I don't understand them. This quote comes as a saviour to me,when I present my out-of-the-line ideas,and I find no supporters. The blog I'm currently writing bears not many followers,someone even told me its a wastage of time to sit and write such stuff. It did infuriate me,but I let it go,as,its the people who are fallacious,and not the ideas and innovations.
