Thats the way it is…

          I have always had this said to me, atleast thrice a week, “Dont speak in that way to me!”. Be it my family, friends or strangers, I never understand what they mean by “that way”. Does that “that way” point to my way of expression, or the words I use or my tone?! Before I ponder over such things and come to a decision about it, two or three more of such confusing statements will be kept ready for me, like, “Do you think you know everything?” or “We have all crossed your age and come over a long way”.

          Am sure I know only a few things, my knowledge is limited and as for “everything”, well now, thats a BIG word! And I dont deny the fact that all the people in this world were born as infants and start growing up and they are tiny tots at first, kids next, adolescents after that and then become what they are at the present. But, if I tell all this and ask certain doubts, I wont be appreciated and cleared of my doubts, but, will only have this said to me, “Dont be cheeky!”
         

            I am as ernest and honest as I can be, when am asking such things. And cheekiness is something which is not there in my nature (maybe I should develop it).But after a few stabs and insults offered in quite a humiliating way, I have stopped asking such things, but just started to accept them and ponder over them, in silence. This burries so many of my innocent questions under the depths of dumbness, silence.
 

          But, this silence is beautiful as well! Now, dont start thinking about nature and all that now, expecting me to say that its because of those that silence is heavenly, but my reason is that, it avoids so many confusing statements, still more confusing answers ( these are from my side ) and of course it gives peace, atleast for one side. Actually, being silent seems to irritate my beloved advisors, but who cares, seeing them getting irritated is funny too! Anyway, I always want to have the last laugh
