I am Fine :)

“I am Fine” - one of the most common lie that we all say almost everyday. This lie is almost always present in the 4 lies a common person says in a day, or 1460 in a year and by the time we reach 60, the number becomes 88000.

And these are small, generally harmless lies which oils the wheels of almost all human relationship, most of the times with a good and positive motive.

We have a horrible habit of answering “I am Fine” whenever someone asks us “How are you doing”. Infact it is a reflex action, not even an answer. And this is an acquired reflex action which has been pumped into us from the time we are born “When someone asks you HOW ARE YOU DOING — you should say “I AM FINE””. Are we teaching our kids to lie?

Or we are teaching them to hide the real emotions and feelings we have; from the people around us? We all build a little bubble around us and we are afraid of letting anyone inside that bubble. The outer surface of the bubble should always look shiny and bubbly however turbulent you are inside. Is this the reason the whole society is under so much stress? All our modern communication mechanism helps us build and maintain that bubble even more.

Even if the person is next to jumping off cliff, his/her FB timeline and even a FT call will show that their life is so happening and rocking and that they are the happiest person on the earth. We are so proud of living VIRTUALLY, Virtual is the reality of today and the reality has become virtual.
