It's funny how in a crowd, almost always the good people opt to remain silent 'n hidden. Whereas the bad ones on account of being loudest garner all the attention, well at least in the beginning before we get to know them better. From my experience i know how easy it is to overlook 'n forget the silent ppl. 'N its very rare that you will get a chance to perceive them better unconsciously...,
so in life you end up passing unconsciously many a opportunities to get to know really good people, who probably may be having similar preferences/outlook towards life as you do.
