Feeling Static

He's just pressed the Pause button. He doesn't know why. The one who wanted to run away has just come back from a vacation. And suddenly its not just the sky that's turned blue. Ordinary everyday things irritate him to no end, and he wonders why his firm tolerance has deserted him! Skips everything and everyone, and shuts himself up, a part of him hoping that soon they will notice it and bombard him with queries! But past experience tells him that that isn't a great thing!
Why is he waiting for the world to change?
Nah, he needs to change himself, he knows it, and his utter failure at this exercise has rendered him so cynical and disappointed that he's beginning to believe that there must be something wrong with the world, after all, no man can be so flawed! He's been hoping, waiting for a opportunity to tear him away from his present life and put him away in a bubble where individual independence is not a selfish whim.
What next? Should he extend his reservations in Utopia or snap back to reality?

Absolutely worth the wait!!!

And yes one request- Ask "him" not to change. He's just loved the way he is. The world might be wrong right now but He is absolutely "sorted out". [:)]

Well, I think he's a very good actor.

We all are actors-some good some bad...
Maybe now HE realises the difference between being an actor and an escapist!!
Whatever be the case, the world around Him definitely is not all "sugar and candies" but there is a lot of "tasteless" food around. Some food can be spiced up and improved but rest must be left ntouched. The important point here is that do not let the "tasteless" part destroy the taste of the rest of the platter!! Let Him be himself and everything will fall back into place-hopefully!!

Hmm...well, thanks, that's good advice, but I suppose its really not possible for me to explain this entire context! :)
Besides I not trying to complain about some disarrayed scenario right now, but about how queasy it is to suffer from pangs of craving freedom, something I've always successfully subdued... I think this will sound very confusing.. :D
