What Would You Do....

....When someone compliments you? Would you feel uneasy in our repressed Asian society? Would you beam and return the compliment?

.... When things don't go your way? Would you stomp your feet in frustration? Would you take a deep breath to analyse the situation? Would you comfort yourself in the knowledge that "the only way is up"?

..... When you fall for the first time in your life? Would you lament about your unfortunate incident, a blemish against your glorious accolades? Would you wallow in self-pity? Would you drag yourself up and stand on your feet again? Would you dismiss the incident and banish it into the darker realms of your memory?

.... When someone tells you he/she is attracted to you? Would your mind wander and speculate the motives involved? Would your ego be inflated to pompous proportions? Would it be one of your mere blase statistics?

..... When someone falls for you? Would you freak out, turn and flee if you didn't reciprocate? Would you stay and work things out as friends? Would you return the affection? Would you pretend it didn't exist?

..... When you discover the truth for yourself? Would you be enraged? Would you be disappointed? Would you walk away in disgust? Would you wonder why you weren't told in the first place? Would you treat it as a lie?

..... When someone drifts away? Would you be frantic? Would you realise you've taken that person for granted? Would you try to rebuild the past? Would you shrug and watch it drift till it's out of sight?

..... When the mundane things, which you've taken for granted, vanishes? Would you shed tears of sorrow? Would you remain indifferent? Would you silently rejoice, for it has become a burden?

..... When someone's attitude towards you changes? Would you be indignant? Would you be afraid? Would you wonder what has gone wrong? Would you attribute it to a definitive fault of yours?

..... When someone is hurt? Would your perception of him/her be that of emotional incumbence? Would you offer words and gestures of comfort? Would you ignore it all, citing that you have enough problems of your own?

..... When you read this? Would you think it's a random rant? Would you wonder if there's a specific purpose? Would you think it's meant for you? Would you remain nonchalant?
