When people get too clever, they tend to 'over-think' and see every possible sentence said as having insinuations and connotations, when in fact the innocent defendant doesn't mean a thing.
Self-conscious maybe? Or is it just an over-active mind trying to mask the mask it's already wearing?
Not everyone is evil out there. Not everyone is out to get us. Why does knowledge have to pollute innocence? Is there such a need to defend one's own rights at the expense of a blind fury against others? Is there a need to fear being misjudged or being in a shameful situation where one fears one is misunderstood to be fishing for compliments?
I think not. What does it matter? Is ego/pride that important?
I wonder if such things can even be controlled. But it's interesting to observe the different character traits.
I have tons of flaws too. A libra is flighty, dreamy, impractical and silly at times, and indecisive; but do i defend myself with an aggression or set up a hard shell to mask my inner weaknesses? No! Weaknesses let us realise that we are imperfect, and imperfection paves way for improvement. Hope people can do the same too and make the world a better and more peaceful place to live in.
