A Letter

A Letter

From: This Self-centered person

To: A self-centered person

Do you truly believe in the words of others? I remember myself not doing so.....Do you even know you're self-centered in the first place?

It's about time, where this operation must end. We cannot simply tolerate the beatings by you and treat you like a princess. And no, i'm not about ready to do that.

Do you know why we sometimes ignore you?

Do you know why sometimes we don't talk to you?

Do you know why sometimes the nicest people shout at you?

The more attention you crave, the more attention you lose. You learn econs.....because simply your talk is not in demand

Do you realise why the most silent people are appreciated? People who perform have more roses than those who criticise?

You're heading exactly where i was headed. from experience, i don't want you to go down the same road because it's painful beyond words.

you may still have some friends who care about you enough to stand by you. Yes, they are your true friends indeed. But you will always lose something in your heart. Wherever you go, when you make new friends, you become wary and then blame yourself for being so....because for once you have to lower your pride to treat others.

You don't like to be under the mercy of others? Me too.....but to speak the truth, don't you feel tired being under the limelight?

you say that yuo're not perfect, so you'll always be like that. yes, we humbly forgive your flaws.

So perhaps you can also forgive us for avoiding you, blaming you, back-stabbing you, being a hypocrite because we're not perfect too.....

If you can say the same, then as far as i'm concerned, i'd forgive your flaws too....

________________________________________________

i don't know what kind of world you're brought up in.

Or perhaps you want us to sympathise the way your parents treat you and they basically "made" you for what a lousy person you are.

we can understand, we can accept.....but you must be aware: that everyone of us has a tale of bitterness that we never tell anyone.

Do you think you're unlucky?

Perhaps we can take a look at the people around you....someone i know do not have the luxury of lunch. Oh you don't realise? Because you were too busy grumbling what to eat. or that some of your accompaniment were busy appeasing you.

But sadly, we have a friend who needs financial aid. who goes hungry because of family problems. Single-parent problems.

Now let ME guess: if you were in her/his shoes, i'd probably expect you to whine in your amazingly high-pitched voice that you had to go hungry again because you don't pocket money from your mum and dad......Yah, they did owe it to you anyway....

Then yet again, who am i to judge? I'm self-centered too aren't i?

Once again, how do you feel when i talk to you this way? - Hurting isn't it? You words have the same effect on me also.

We don't see the warning lights because we think that we don't need the people around us.

We don't understand why we cause such misery for our friends because we don't bother to care.

But i just want to emphasize a point

If you don't show us(remember that talk is cheap) we're yuor friends. Maybe you have other friends to substitute us....i dont know.

Then perhaps our friendship doesn't exist at all - and at the end of the day, it's not you who suffer, which is ironic. we would.

Because we would have regretted and pay it on our conscience why we have done nothing account for our actions - our actions of not being friends with you from now on.
