You.

Yes, you.

Picture yourself living in a world, a world of hatred and love, of despair and joy, of good and evil, of things holy and not.

You see yourself as a person, but not as entirely as some people who call themselves, psychologists, would perceive you to be. You seem to be incomplete, void of something so indescribable, so intangible, so complex that you fail to grasp, even understand what its entirety is, was, or will be.

You live in a world bound by rules, by laws, by social norms, by society’s free will. Your actions can mean as much as people would like to gauge it, based on a variety of social factors that only a few can dive through its complexity. Your actions can be the basis on how other people perceive you, describe you, or even know you. You can be what people would like you to be called, on the basis on their understanding of how the world works, how social rules define what should be and should not be done in public, how life can seem so complex that it can fail to examine you as a person. Rather, it is these boundaries that hinder their judgment of you, whether it be your personality, your attitude, your achievements in life, the whole you, just you.

What other people fail to realize is that even the smallest of actions can have the most devastating of consequences, so says the beliefs of cataclysmists. When people judge you as a loner, it is because they always see you isolated in a crowd, whether it be in a social gathering, in a school, in cuisine retreats, and such gatherings. What they didn’t see is that it is that it is this person’s reaction to what people have perceived him, based on his past actions, his behavior during certain situations, what he thinks of other people who haven’t experienced his disturbing predicaments; his thoughts go unrequited, unanswered, unnoticed.

Now, we place ourselves in that person’s life. How would you feel if you were dejected by society just because what you said doesn’t go along their way of thinking while discussing an important issue? What would you do in response to this? Would you cower to the deepest, darkest corners of a space to contemplate of what could have gone wrong? Would you either retaliate, whether by physical, emotional, or by psychological means, just so that the people concerned can hear you out? No, it isn’t that simple. Life is a complex web of interactions that even the slightest mistake in your life can trigger a lifelong event of misery, despair, sadness, insanity, depression. Who knows what outcome an action can bring, whether on the positive side of things, or not.

We go back to the question: Who are you?

Yes, you…
