School Friends Meet up for what ???
Below are some of the thoughts summarized about the topic I chose :
Friends have this preconceived notion that their opinions which were valid during schooldays or the past still prove to be right. They feel the knowledge derived from school made them masters even for future life and without any hesitation push(thrust) their views about their classmates and make him look like a fictional character in a novel, which obviously isnt true.(poor miserable chap) finds himself being confonted(faced) with a version of story he isn't leading today.
I wonder why do they make a fool of themselves by trying to have an opinion about others that too when you haven't seem or have known the whereabouts of the person for years. Its ridiculous,absurd.
I have seen that mostly students who are successful in their careers do turn up for school reunions. The reunions are mostly an assessment as to how far or how greater a person you are the stage of life you are meeting at. Just like the old days. Then it were grades(marks), Today its how heavy your pay check is.
Very few an open mind to recollect the good & funny aspects of school life for a hearty conversation.
There have been instances where many skip the reunion or prefer the presence of selected batch mate's presence to be part of the event. I might be wrong but i ve always felt the word 'Ego' play its part for many explaining what it actually means.
Its a must everyone should be working or on par with the rest by which I mean either you should be getting paid heavily or should have been inheriting his fathers business with a steady income to be part of the crew.
I feel it all boils down to one single word "Confidence". Confidence to face the competing crowd thats going to ask you to justify your success. The questions sometimes are intended to make a person feel worthless(miserable) . You should be ready for some indirect questions which would mean "I never thought you could be in such a position", I am amazed but i think its still pure luck your running around.
