what does it all boil down to ?
That is a million dollar question. What does one want in life ? why do u we keep struggling our asses out, wht is it that we want to achive ? Wht is life and how does one play it ?
You works hard to earn money, u earn money and so u spend, u spend so u want to earn more. when does it end.
Just running around aimlessly wont result in anything. what does one yearn for ? We are not ready no one is, no one ever will be u know why. ITs becasue the question keeps changing with every answer.
I was checking out this movie yesterday called Rock On! you know what the movie taught me, it told me to not give up our dreams. It told me not to let go.
We keep walking in life trying to survive trying to achieve what the other person has. We get so lost is the struggle my manager refers to this as the RAT Race, that we forget what we wanted.
Actually if you think about it we have lost our chain of thought , we have lost out on the thought about what we actually wanted.
Ok try this, take a piece of paper and write down your dreams, what is it that you actually wanted to do with life. I bet you wont be able to think of anything now, that is because we have come so far ahead and it is difficult to think of anything else. We have come so far ahead that it is difficult to give up this for our dreams.
Why do we get caught in this comfort of being the comman man ? Why can we not pursue our dreams ? I know its lame to think about it, to do something about it now is very difficult. What about your current responsibilities what about the EMI's that we have bound ourselves to.
I have a friend who keeps on trying to do something about his life, he earns like crazy some 80 K per month but does not have the feeling of satisfaction of feeling that he is doing something that is not meant to do. Very rarely outside the movies does one actually realize what he was meant to do or what is it that he wants to do with his life.
Why is it so ? We are made so hard to think about the troubles of life that we give up on our dreams and get into the life of being one amongst the millions billions who dont know what to do with their lives. Once do we get this chance so why not live it the way you want, why not play it the way you want.
I wonder does anybody in this whole go forsaken world actually get a life of excitement. There is this thing being aired on Star World a serial called "LOST". I wonder how much fun would it actually be to fall into a mysetrious island with all sorts of wierd things happeneing to you. Living a life full of excitment , full of adrenaline.
Only once does the window of opportunity opens and we shut it down hard. Are these guys just lucky or they actaully stick to their plan facing each obstacle as it came people like Micheal Schumcher , that travel and living guys, the guys in a band , we just get lost is this struggle to survive. Why cant we be the ones exploring the hidden pyramids of egypt or be raiding a TOMB, or maybe trying to find a treasure in the vase depths of the ocean. I wonder what if the movie "WATER WORLD" actually came true, wash out the whole world and every one right back to where it started. You know what the problem is , we are in the middle of the race. Its fun to be in the beginning or to be in the end, we are stuck in the god forsaken time where for a long long time there is no change in sight. Think about this what if you knew that from tommorow there are going to be no vehicles, no electricity , no office, no salraies , no dedcutions, no taxes, no food. What if the machines were taking over the world from tommorow, and we would be set to fight the machines like in "TERMINATOR" it would be so much fun and exciting. While writing I realize this , the only people to blame are the one who show us a dream an illusion of exiciting things. If there had not been Television, there had been no movies or no travel and living we would have never known about all these exciting things in life. would just have gone along being a sheep in the herd, get a job get married reproduce and then become a burden on ur kids and die all wrinkly and weak in the bed.
Why are people in US more free with their decision, why do less number of Indians actually take up an alternative career. Why should one be forced to take up engineering or become a doctor , lawyer and things. Why can't earn a living doing something one actually likes.
I have atleast realized one little detail in life I wont be enforcing my dreams on my son or daughter. Let them come up with their own answers. What usually happens with an Indian mentality is that we think since we were unable to pursue a dream and failed hence so shall out children but that is not what I am gonna be doing. I wanna be able to give my son the choice of pursuing alternative careers, think up and let them decide what they want to do. Not ask him to support us, not ask him to give answers for us. Not give him responsibilities but rather give him an opportunity to do something for himself.
But I am left pondering why cant we do something abt it to ourselves. Wht i wish for myself is to do all that I ever wished to do (karle haar arman pure). Visit sikkim ride a yak, take a leap off the cliff do base jumping , get a bad ass tattoo on the arm, explore the world. There is this thingy on Travel and Living where two guys are set out to explore the world on their bikes. They set out from New york go round the world and come back from the pacific cost and back to new york. Only a few people get to do these things and I wish someday i have the balls to quit my job and go about exploring the world.. Someday if I have loads of money u know maybe I would like go to space.
