A little big thing.
This thought came across my mind a while ago when I was alone; doing nothing in my room on the day of Idul Adha. I was just thinking that, essentially, people is doing anything to seek attention in their whole lives. We want someone values our existence in any ways. That sounds agreeable. Some perhaps crave to be valued by money, some want compliments, care, or even winks(?). Funny things we do to make people see us, as much as stupid stuff we make. As stupid as walking out from the show we have been half-deathly working on, probably. But, I think, that's just human nature.
Well, then I start questioning about those complete and whole people whom all attention is directed to. How about independent young girls who seem to be too strong to break down? Do these people still seek attention?
You know, for split seconds I thought it is so unfair if these lot wanted more than what they have got. I am referring to the fact that it is them creating the existence of "The Overshadowed". Well, shouldn't they be grateful for everything that they have taken from others around? Or, to be rightly phrased, shouldn't I be thankful for every single blessings and compliments that I have been receiving all this while?
But, no. Like I have said, it's a matter of human nature. Human seeks attention. It doesn't mean a person who seems very complete and whole isn't craving for attention inside. They are. Perhaps others only value her success, not the story behind it which she really wants people to know. Perhaps others pay high for her professionalism, but doesn't even care about personal life she has given in. Or, probably others respect her independence, even too much to allow themselves giving more affection (which sounds nonsense).
All human beings seek attention, yet we, common people, love to stare only at something interesting. To see a color, instead of color all the whites. Overlook small things big people value, yet forget to thank shadows for their patient company. That's my conclusion.
