Life's Contradictions ..

Contradiction ..quite a word huh ! Have you ever wondered the number of contradictions we come across everyday .. dahh i know im sounding all philosophical with this , but its just a randon thought i got while trying to read "Computer Networks ".
Il just list a few that poped up in my head :
1.Begging and giving charity :
We ve been always taught that beggin is a bad thing and never beg it what so ever situation and rather try workig hard to get what we want , at the same time we are taught quite contradictorily to give away alms , to dante things , or charity to be precise !
 2.Murder and Euthanasia :
This now a very sensitive issue  killing someone is bad , in fact a crime .. but what if the doctors do it in the name of mercy killing , this point confuses me a lot .. neva  found a true answer for this contradiction !!
3.Freedom of speech :
To say what we feel is right is a birth right , but what if this little  gestures irks somebody's sentiments or thoughts ?.. In the case of reality shows this happens to be the latest trend , even on many social networking sites .. people publicly abuse someone and later say sorry again publicly ... I ask is the word sorry being abused rather than the person ??
4.Technology :
My dearest cell phone cant stay a moment without it , I neva knew id give so much importance to a metal piece :P.Technology is quite a boon to us ... because of this we are connected with everyone all the time !!!.. Are we not forgetting the person right beside us in this rat race ? .. i mean ya its fun cool and quite an obsession .. but sometimes .. nah say most of the time we forget to acknowledge the people with us in the pursuit to stay  connected with someone who is miles away !!!
If i have to go on there are many such things. For example loving somebody who is not right for you in any possible way .Sometimes choosing something that does suit you just for the heck of it .... aren't there many such situations when you choose the wrong side knowingly .
So, these are a few things that bother me as a matter of fact  :p ;)

( guess lil bit of studying did wonders to my head , that i started thinking of contradicting stuff :p)

JUST SAY IT !!!

This one is from one of my collections !!
Today i was just going through the articles that i collected and i found this one ,i thought il post it for good !
so here it goes like this :
10th grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.
 


Well that was a wee bit emotional ... what i wana say is that when we feel something strong towards someone we've got to express our feelings rather than waiting for the other person to .... JUst simple story to think over !!
