Denial

I think I have always lived in denial. Probably still do.

These days I keep reading Calvin & Hobbes and to a great extent I can identify with Calvin. 

There's something timeless about human behaviour and psychology. I find it strange that we aren't taught that in our schools and colleges. 

For a long time I had an image of self. That of a very liberal and an open individual.
Now I know, I am no different from many other hypocrites.
For too long I have lived in denial.
And after 31 years, it's difficult to get rid of the mindset.

I can pin the blame on the society, family, and my upbringing. But then I'll be lying. As I always have. Most importantly, to myself.

Reality is harsh. And it hurts.
