Valorous Visitation of a by-gone Vexation

There are some people who can't deal rationally with rejection because it hurts their ego so much to know that they are lousier in some aspects than others. It is amazing how they can put all the blame on the person whom rejected them for rejecting them. Even after proper explanation, they still remain deluded. Their first response to rejection will be to ask "Why?", after which they will start blasting their 'rejector' for their stupidity and lack of foresight and that it is their loss for not choosing himself/herself.

Look, if you are really that good, you wouldn't be rejected in the first place. It isn't that hard to figure out, or is it?

Nobody is perfect. And nobody ever will be. We all have our flaws. We all have our strengths. If you think your life is glamorous and you are a really hip person just because everyone agrees with you and doesn't reject you, you need to wake up... and face reality. Chances are all the friends you have had up till now are pretentious being who doesn't want to antagonize you by telling you how bad you really are because they stand to gain something from it.

Contrary to popular beliefs, not all who shits on you are your enemy. Consider the following scenario:

You walk into class one day and saw one of his classmate with dried mucus at his nostrils. He probably didn't realized it because he hasn't bothered to wipe it off. Now, would you go up to him and tell him about it so that he will clean himself up, or would you ignore him and laugh at him together with your other friends behind his back?

If you're the guy with your nostrils smeared by dried mucus and your friend came forward to inform you about your mess, congratulations. No doubt your friend may have laughed at you first for being such a retard but read this - he just saved your ass from being ridiculed by the whole school. Otherwise, it would suck to be you until some point you look into a mirror and only realize WTF.

Are people getting overly sensitive nowadays? Yes, the truth may be hard to swallow at times but we still have to face and get over with it. We also have to learn that sometimes, the truth spoken to you by your friends/peers/parents/professors/whoever is something called positive criticisms which are meant to helpchu improve yourself. Telling you your new hairdo really sucks doesn't mean the person is insulting you. He is letting you know so that you can do something about it to avoid embarrassing situations (think first dates).

Would you dare to tell someone you know about his flaws (e.g. nose digging and armpit scratching in public) so that he can change for the better or would you choose to remain ignorant because you don't want to hurt his fragile heart? If you choose the latter, you are a big fat liar because I know that you just don't want your friend to get the wrong impression of you and you can't be bothered to explain things if he really thinks you are insulting him. What would a true friend do?

And people, we all gotta grow some balls and be more receptive to criticisms. But if you are really being insulted, please don't just stand there and do nothing.

I have digressed. But never mind.

Ultimately, we have to learn to accept our flaws and capitalize on our strengths. Accept ourselves for who we are. Why do we have to strive to be like others?
