Action ... reaction!
Have you ever wondered how different individuals re-act when they are sick (I mean not well). I think it is the fever / cold cough or the most common of them all "Head Ache" which alters the person's behaviour so much. My little one has been down with cough / fever for the past few days and I am drained of energy just taking care of her.
It made me sit back and realise how each person reacts so differently when they are not well. Here are a few:
"Chatter Box" : These people just keep talking and talking till the listener's head hurts ! They are not normally all that talkitive, but acquire this special status only when they are not well.
"Philosophers" : The so called not so philosophical bunch start analysing everything through their newly acquired "saintly" eyes. To quote an example: One person I knew sharing their views on Crocin (the tablet generally used in India for fever) ... Crocin = Crow (the bird) + Sin
"Silence is golden" : These people prefer not to not speak about anything. They just wind into themselves and lie with a blanket in their rooms, not to be disturbed by anyone.
"Pity Me" : These simply feel a whole lot better if people around them said showed a little sympathy towards them. This bunch likes to share their pain and expect others to feel sorry for them.
"The Fighters" : This bunch simply refuse to accept that they are sick. They pretend to be just fine even if their body feels otherwise. They think that calling themselves sick is simply degrading !
Which group do you fall under ?

Does 'acting' play a role in such circumstances????
