Irony of Life

As we wake up every morning, we make decisions. The making of our days depends on the decisions we choose. Sometimes, we say, "Oh, what the... I won't let this freaking thing ruin my day!" or "Thanks for making my day. Don't worry. I'm being sarcastic".

As we go to school, we are taught of "academics", when in the real world, what we need is "practicality". What we need are money, diligence, and motivation.

As we save relationships, friendly or not, we are asked to tell the truth, but at times, what we need is to lie, white or not. We are left with no choices, or so we think.

As we live each day, we are told to be brave, but during the inevitable moments, we have to give way. We must put the welfare of others in front of us.

As we share experiences, we brand them as our friends' or other people's, when in fact, those are really ours. We are too afraid to tell things about our own.

As we enjoy ourselves, we laugh out loud, when in truth, we die in agony. We smile at our pains, we laugh at others aches.

As we fall in love, we deny, when in exactness, we would love to shout our feelings out loud. We are scared of being rejected because we know, admittance would only ruin us.

As we deal with other people's love affair, we act as the bridge, when what we really wanted is to be bridged. We hurt ourselves too much.

Now, my question is, do you get my point? That WE make the Irony of Life?
