I have been playing the role of a Doctor for 40 years and I have existed for 66 years. Often I have this dilemma in my mind “ Should I answer every question of everyone every time ?”More often my answers fall on deaf ears and I am not Mark Antony to request persons who ask questions to lend me their ears. The truth I have discovered in my life is the following “People do not want your answer but they want me to sniff their answer and deliver the same to them. People are very happy when you offer them an answer which is in tune with their expectations. I am at cross roads now . Whether I should be truthful to them and incur their wrath subsequently or be a hypocrite and satisfy them with their expectations.? Finally this pearl of wisdom unfolded itself : “ Be truthful. You need to endorse only to yourself that you are true. There is no need to prove to others that you are true.We are not participating in a popularity contest. Having stuck to the guns of truth since my birth , I will continue to be truthful to myself and others inspite of the consequences which are inconsequential in my life.🧎♀️
