walk along the scales

If there's one thing i want to learn this lifetime, it is nothing but the ability to see for myself what i see in others.

People have taken a liking to tell me things that i don't really want to know recently.. things that they don't like to see in others yet when they reacted in a similar way during that situation, it must be because they have a good reason for doing so. the more i listened to these talks, the more i start to dislike myself.. why am i beginning to be influenced by them? by their indirect way of promoting themselves in a good light, so much so that the more i think, the more their talks shape my perception.. soon, i wont have the ability to judge for myself what i think is right. is this the way things should turn out?

We often overlook our weaknesses and faults, only to focus on our strengths and presenting them favourably. many times, somehow or another, we see in others the things others dont want to let know. it's as if the more they try to hide it, the easier it is for others to know. things shouldnt be the exact opposite either.. we can't just drown in what we think are our worse traits, blindly follow and look up to what others think is good and right.

it is impossible to achieve a balance.
the only thing we can do is to walk along the scales...
walk with me, wont you..
