Why Can't I Be Like Them?

How often do we stop ourselves from doing something...simply because it's just not done? My guess is many times. I am sure a lot of us refrain from doing something because we know we are being watched by others. Shouldn't we all be allowed to do what we like without prejudice?

I recently met a young guy and during one outing, we met a group of his friends for coffee. At one point, I just sat back and watched them. They were talking and laughing..giggles..hand gestures..and all. It was very obvious they were part of the "happy" family. But they were perfectly at ease with themselves..without a care in the world or the least bothered about what the neighbouring tables thought about them.

It was at this point which I thought to myself...why can't I be like them?
