Humans r complex & knowing them is subjective----
As i look into the mirror ;
What is it i see ?
A familiar face ;
Staring back at me ;
Its the same face that everyone sees ;
But as i gaze into its soul ;
I know there's more to me ;
The unspoken thoughts, the mindless fears ;
The truth and the lies ;
The uncried tears ;
The umpteen wishes to fly high ;
The hopes and dreams to touch the sky ;
Mirror, mirror on the wall, I ask,
How do I look today ?
The mirror does'nt reply ;
But I start my day, anyway........

People hear in life only what they want to hear.....
Two old acquaintances, who hadn't seen each other for years, were walking down the street together, renewing old times. "Just a minute," said one, "I think I hear something," and turning a loose paving stone over he liberated a cricket which flew away chirping merrily.
"Why, that's astounding. Of all the people on the street at this hour, hurrying from work, you alone hear the cricket above all the traffic noises."
"My friend," said the first. "I learned a long time ago that people hear in life only what they want to hear. Now, the noise of traffic has neither increased nor decreased in the past few moments, but watch."
And as he finished speaking he let a silver half dollar fall from his pocket to the sidewalk. Everyone within an amazingly large hearing distance stopped and looked around.
