Just a Random Thought

Seems to me, life is all about security nowadays.

(Note : please bear in mind that I am not writing about anyone in particular, this is just something that came to me when I was daydreaming =)

No, not burglars. or stalkers. or whatever whatnot you're thinking of.

Emotional security just doesn't sound right either.

There's a lot of teenage mags writing stuff about cliques in school excluding other people, sticking to the status quo, etc, etc. High School Musical is a great example. And people say a lot of gossip-ey stuff about the "tight-tight cliques which no one dares to approach".

But what is that, after all, but making sure they're not left out, like those poor people who don't have their own cliques? They just wanna be "safe", to at least have some friends, sticking close together so they're never be found alone and vulnerable.

It's not that they're deliberately mean or excluding others on purpose, I guess, they just wanna be "safe". Rather than be sitting there alone like some retard.

Although retardedness can be really good for the soul sometimes :)

That is, if you HAVE a clique. Those who don't, might leave parties, or school, or church early, on the pretext you have a date. With books. Or with people, it doesn't matter either way. Just so you don't have to be caught sitting alone talking to yourself.

If you act tough and angry, or really really happy, no one's gonna suspect you're breaking up inside.

Antagonizing people can come in useful. So can smiling all the time. Depends on which is your style.

It's the oldest trick in the book. When you feel like you're gonna cry, act really angry and stomp up to your room. That way no one knows.

Then, and only then, you are "safe".

Security is bliss.
