How does a sheep roll his eyes?

Did I tell you that we went on a vacation to Turkey. It was a fantastic trip and lasted a week. A week is short time to discover a country's beauty. Most people we met on the trip were backpacking for a month atleast. Wish we too had the time. Ephesus was beautiful and we are still not able to be get over how skilled and talented people back in those times. We are talkin 150 AD mind it, there were no machines, no technology invented and everything made with bare hands.

Should you become a mirror and ape the other person's actions or be yourself inspite of all that is thrown in your face? It is a challenge but at the end of it, I guess, you grow up.
