When you have spent a certain amount of time with some quality people, spending time with a new bunch of people can sometimes be a culture shock! Meeting new people is always interesting. We form our own framework of image in our minds based on how they act on their first meetings, gestures, the way they talk and what they talk about.
I really appreciate those people who never hesitate to express their ignorance. I believe they are really full of wisdom. They are always open to be filled in. On the contrary, there are some people who so unhesitatingly lie to maintain a fake appearance of wisdom. If you put a little effort on their details, you would easily understand that it was a complete hoax! Such shallow act can be disappointing, especially if you have already had a respectful image for that person inside your head.
whoa! you seemed pissed..but still politically correct !
ReplyDeletenice we should help the naked ones, who don't hide anything. But unfortuantely its a rare case. Usually our most energy wasted in hiding our weakness rather correcting it. I feel no hesitation that yes sometimes i too a part of window dressing, the Shallow one.
ReplyDeleteVery true. You can express your ignorance once and have it cleared or you can hide and keep being ignorant!

@ Sanket: Not really pissed. But disappointed. :(
ReplyDelete@ Himanshu: May be we all do it at some stage of our lives out of insecurity. But there should be a limit. We should be honest with ourselves. Otherwise, we won't be able to recognize ourselves at some point.
ReplyDeleteIt takes guts to admit and I really appreciate that you did. :)
@ Meera di: Yes, but it's completely unethical if someone claims (that too proudly) false knowledge/possessions, without even being close to knowing/possessing it.
ReplyDelete@ Bikram: Yeah, it's hurting when it comes to such disappointment in terms of friendship. Although, I wasn't talking about friendship, rather a professional relationship. And it's not really bothering me, it's just the image I had in mind has lost its glory. ;)
