Outside the inside & Inside the outside

Outside and inside only share one common "side" - that's the boundary that separates the outside from the inside but yet creates a connection between the two. But if one can't look inside 'the outside' and the other can't look outside 'the inside', they will be trapped in the world of their kind, have not much sense of directions, unable to appreciate/treasure, and may eventually alienate.

Outside, the rain stops.

Inside, it starts to drizzle.

Outside, everything looks fine.

Inside, everything goes wrong.

Outside, the one who ought to understand don't.

Inside, cannot comprehend why the other one don't understand?.

Outside, ignore.

Inside, retaliate.

Outside, turn down volume.

Inside, (might as well) mute it.

Outside, goes into standby mode.

Inside, (might as well) shut it down.

Outside, silent and stoned.

Inside, disappointed and gave up.

Suddenly, it reminds me of the first four lines of Rhythm of the Rain...
