We've become enchained with the burden of others' perceptions about us. You may say we're part of society so all our actions are justified. Society gives us the perfect blend of differences. It pushes us to think and react in a certain way. Is this way correct? Does it resonate with all the values we had been brought up with?
Moving on in this society of wolves and selfishness may be challenging but not impossible. Life in its nuances surprises us as our attitudes do. Circumstances force us to neglect what we've got, or even who we are. Even though it's believed that society encourages us to share common interests and goals, it mostly provides a platform to act in multiple ways-surprising, predictable, unexpected, absurd...the list is non-ending because we're complex creatures.
What will people think of me? How will they perceive me? Familiar questions, right...What's more interesting is that diplomacy has become an inseparable part of such perceptions.

We've already become diplomatic enough to be innocent, but we are not...That's our subtle strategy, whether or not we admit it...
