Its like they have a mould. Each and every person must fit…
““Its like they have a mould. Each and every person must fit into that mould. If you don't fit into that mould properly, they will go on removing unnecessary part of you to cut out excess part outside mould, or may go on filling the gaps with extra (sometimes unnecessary or useless) material if you are falling short to fill the mould completely, until you fit into that mould perfectly and come out of it just like others (with no excess part, or no incomplete/missing part)””
