Who do you live for?

I’ll go straight to the point, we live in the vicinity of other’s sight and it’s inevitable that we will receive subjective judgements like we always practice on others. Everyone has its own issues, therefore there is no one on earth will be easy to comprehend.
We’ve concluded that everyone is unique and thus we will be having different personalities, looks, backgrounds and so on, and now, every step that we’re walking, will the result of it be the outcome of a second person? As such, I wonder why people tend to take so much daily statements and criticisms into account of thoughts, it just don’t make any sense at all.
Views are comprised of internal and external views, or it can be called as subjective and objective views respectively. The subjective views are what stagger people off their track.
We tend to accept views (in here, subjective views) too seriously, although bit by bit of it constitutes a distinct perception on ourselves, somehow we value other views more than our own. For example (in a majority of people), when they intend to “ask for opinion”, they are indirectly insinuating and merging other views into them, hoping that it will attain a conventional outcome. This is blatant foolishness.
I saw so many people changed so drastically just to adapt into people’s interest, and no matter how hard they tried, at one point or moment, someone will still express discontent towards the change. My aunt is a clerk and she is currently working with about 20 colleagues. Everyday she hears gossips and criticisms from the people in the company and she had been very aware of those – to make sure she’s not the another person who bites the dust, probably by some silly “coalition” playing some boycott game. For 13 years she had been a busy person, not for the sake of work, but for the sake of getting away of negative perception towards her. For instance when she heard that “someone” does make-up too heavily, she will instantly goes to the wash room and redo her make-up (sounds silly but it’s the fact). Currently, she is one of the victim of the “game” despite her incessant effort throughout those years. Wasted huh?
I’m not abetting the attitude of having a closed mind, it’s just that we’re too susceptible by other person’s point of view which divert our actual thought. At least try getting more views before deciding for a change as there is a Chinese saying “think three times before you act”.
