shadows

Its usually said that we live in the shadows of life... with a bonding of the body and mind in the brightest of times and disappearance  when the light dims and finally it's dark.... Somewhere down the line, not intimately connected to the deeper ends of who we really are, we live life as shadows! It might seem nothing at a glance, but think about it...  Do we really live like the persons we are, or do we live as the shadows that linger around people, succumbing to what we all get acquainted to, at one point or another, "self judgement"  (yes, I've been thinking about this issue for quiet long now, but I haven't found a decent conclusion to stop... thinking)
When some matters deep inside trouble us for those innumerable hours, we prefer wearing a smile, only so that all those questions are not thrown at us. When we take a wrong decision, though we know how wrong we are, we cannot stop ourselves, and when its time for punishment, we do end up asking god, WHY?
Well, I thought of putting it in various ways, though the best I could come up with is, people are like the ocean. They let water and debris in. The ocean allows everyone to be a part of her, but she can never be somebody else (ironically)
 The ocean has both, the shallow waves, that wash ashore and the deep water making ripples who has treasure hidden under her chest!
 Don't you think of yourself as someone similar?
 Don't you think that at one point, we need to stop for a moment, wherever we are and just think, in what direction we are going in, in what direction we must choose. While some other times, being directionless, is the best way to find the correct direction!
  In order to just leave the hand of all those thoughts that trouble us, do we really leave behind who we are, and become nothing more important than shadows?
