words constitute thoughts that were meant to be silent. we changed the rules to have a freedom of speech. but along with it come lies, deceit and defamation. what the world really needs is a freedom of thought, not a freedom of speech. speak what is on your mind. but do not go further. elaborate if you must, but within the circumference of your thoughts. freedom of speech basically means you have the freedom to speak what you want. that is why the generation that leads the world now speak without thinking.

there is a game i used to play with a group of friends in the drama and dance club 8 years ago. it was rather stupid, but if you were not ignorant, you could see the whole moral behind that simple game. a group of people arrange their chairs in a straight line, facing the same direction. the first person, from whichever end of the line whispers a sentence to the next person. the rules are as such: no repeating. hear it once, whisper it on. the original sentence was 'talk the talk, walk the walk'.... by the end of the line, what we got was 'gupreet has metal teeth'.

i'll share a personal experience. (the complicated part)

once, i had a dear friend. i'll emphasize... once i HAD a dear friend. i was dating around that time, throwing my emotions out at whoever i thought i liked. but at the end of the day, that friend was the one on the other end of the line.. and i did mention that if i ever liked a guy, and knew for a fact that it was true (and not just a like, full stop. but a 'i really like you' like), that guy should be like my friend. i liked his character, simply put. so, we both had the same group of friends, and as i grew single, and tired of 'not really liking' the guys i used to like, my friends made comments that me n 'that friend' should get together. so, of course i told them, 'nah, i would go for a guy who is like him, but not him, because he is my friend and i want to keep it that way'

unfortunate for me, they did not understand and went around telling people i liked my dear friend. and things got messy. he started liking me. and i did not return the like. so, for 3 years now, we havent been speaking to each other.

its not as if i'm posting this to turn back time and relive the hurt and whatever not. just an example that words can do so much.

english, no?
