My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's. - Oscar Wilde
Just read this quote. Found it awesome (like many other quotes!) , and so true!
Maybe people find it more interesting to peep into other's business, other people's state of affairs. You have millions of people bombarding with questions like what are you doing, why, why this and not that, why are you wearing this outfit, why you are eating this and not that, why are you writing this stuff and why not thais etc. etc. followed by million other suggestions!
It might be a genuine concern at times, ... but maybe, they find lives of more interesting than theirs ... or maybe they get some scoop to tell in social circles ... or probably there is a hope that they would be as ungood as theirs own, giving them a kind of smug satisfaction!
But on second thoughts ... despite criticizing these, what I will do next?
Maybe, out of curiosity, I may do a wikipedia search to know more about Oscar Wilde's life and various facets of it!
... Or ,maybe go and have a chai-time chat with few friends about different people in the place and get some scoop about their lives!
It is, after all so much fun to get to know about the lives of others, and various 'masala' in the same!

Couldn't agree more! I hate this third person business; I don't understand the reason why these people can't speak up upfront and have to 'data mine' so much of information about others in order to bring some colors in their life.
ReplyDeleteDiscussing others makes sense I believe only as long as the subject is aware of a similar chat going on in the exterior world.e.g. SRK being aware that most of the girls in India would be talking about him pretty often :P
