How much of you...

How much of you are what you want yourself to be, and how much of you are what others expect of you?

I was discussing it with a friend sometime ago. So I have no idea what the answer might be, or what your views might be. It applies a lot to uni life as opposed to army life. In army, we just do as we're told. Poeple don't really show the true side of themselves especially in my case. We just laze around, and most of them compete to see who's the laziest. Things would've been pretty different if there was some competition and they had to fight for what they wanted or valued. The ugly side of human nature.

There're people around all the time and everyone wants to present a certain side of themselves that is truly them, yet acceptable to the people around. It is difficult to find people to accept you for who you are. All of us strive to look better, to be entertaining, have a good sense of humour etc. Sometimes it even seems that we try too hard.

All this boils down, I suppose, to who we want to be, and how we want others to see us. Any experiences to share?

Oh and here's justa little something from our zoo trip. Enjoy.
