What would people say?In our seciety it is very important to please other people, for the wrong reasons. You might be forced to stop doing what you love (although there is nothing wrong with what you are practicing) but you always have to be worried about, what would people say?
Who are these people? Could be friends, relatives, old folks, neighbors, or simply poeple you don't even know! Why would they do such thing? Because they have nothing else to do in this life but to stick their noses in other's businesses and the jealousy for those who are accomplished and them just sitting their asses off waiting for their fortunes to fell off the sky. Literally!
I remember when I first wrote my screenplay "Undeserved Fate" I was so worried about what people might think, and if this would get me in any trouble. Again, there was nothing wrong with the script but society always gets you to think that way, and there are always those who just love to make others feel down, again out of jealousy and lust. Alhamdullah, my good friend Abdullah was the one who encouraged me not to think and keep writing it and the result was winning best screenplay award at the last Middle East International Film Festival in Abu Dhabi, October 2008.
Why are these center minded people exist? And aren't they worried what other people might think think or say about them?
All I can say, to hell with them.
