Simple yet elusive..

On a cloudy Sunday morning, I carried my steaming hot mug of coffee to the patio and over looked into the vast expanse of the sky. A bird of the branch seemed to be chirping "how are you doing lady?"

At that instant are innumerable answers..

The optimist in me sings back, "All is well, I can't be happier and better."

The pessimist in me sulks, "Things didn't go the way I wanted. Though it is not bad, it could have been a lot better."

The realist in me says in a matter-of-fact tone,"Things are good till now. How long it is going to be so is the frightening unknown."

The cynic replies, "It does not matter how I do at all at the moment. I am sure everything and everybody is as determined as ever to alter how I do."

The defensive person in me asks, "Why on earth do you want to know..".

The introvert assumes that the question was not meant to me.

The extrovert asks back, "Am doing great. How is your day.."

The ambi-vert simply nods.

The avoidant hears the question but ignores it.

The emotionalist is moved by the fact that someone is asking how I am doing and sheds tears of gratitude.

So who the hell am I?
Is all of them me?
What face comes out in what situation?
Is there is a conflict between these types and confuses me?
