Attention.

The things we do, just for the sake of attention..

Humans, animals, souls, spirits, and ghouls.

We all yearn and we give attention. Be it to the one deserving of attention, or one who doesn't.

The things that we humans do for the sake of attention, really scares me.

We want attention for every possible reason one could think of. Love, fame, money.

Success, love and wealth. The three major reasons one could think of.

We yearn for all these because it is said, that with all three of these, it makes a man whole.

But what if, we placed one of them as priority and loses it after time?

What if the attention we have receiving over time from the ones we love, lessens?

What if the attention we lost was what we think we deserved?

It would be a harsh and painful blow dealt to us. Be it to our ego, our pride or even our self-esteem.

We wouldn't be able to accept the harsh fact that, what was once ours, is now lost. To another.

We are prideful. We are all afraid of being hurt. We don't want to lose what we gained over time.

We like living in our little bubble, where things are pleasant. Nobody ever wants to step out of their already vulnerable guard.

We lie, we cheat, we deceive and we feign ignorance and innocence, all for the sake of keeping the attention we crave for. We don't want to feel inferior as compared to the person who we lost the attention to. We find it extremely hard to accept defeat, especially if we think we don't deserve losing to the other person. Be it despite our efforts, or how much we tried to make someone stay and convince them to not leave.

Often, we would think negatively of ourselves. As harsh as we can be, eventually we would learn to see past such opinions of others. Just like how a lion doesn't lose sleep over the opinions of sheeps. We learn to come to terms with it, and live with it. We, over time, learn. Be it the hard way or the easy way..

We accept only what we think we deserve. And for what we don't, we learn to live with it.
