Expressions
Relationships are like a
multiplex where many films of different genres play together under one space.
When you begin to think this way, all you can do is smile and realize your own
foolishness of thinking “ this is mine” and this is “hers” and also that you
can actually control any of it. And yet, all our lives, we don’t learn any
better.
And you know what is worse? That
all the films play on one screen!!! Can you imagine the plight of the movie goers!!!
And yet, they DO play together.
No wonder we are all roaming around with distorted expressions instead of
enjoying life, without worrying about why we worry so much about what happened
and what is going to happen.
They say attitude determines altitude.
This makes even more sense as you grow older and you know the time to scale
altitudes is coming closer and closer
Relax. Take a chill pill. Have
a charminar and watch the world go by.

Environments
Extortion, extracting the proverbial pound of flesh is the norm today. The extremely flimsy and transient “fame” comes with a huge price tag. It is for all to see.
The system is so decadent that
no one does anything for nothing. Everyone wants to control everyone AND their
environments and the higher the range of fame, the higher the price. If you do
anything out of a mere goodness of heart, you are declared a fool. In fact, you
don’t belong to this world.
Why is it necessary to be
obsessed about people recognizing you wherever you go? Except furthering your
ego each minute, what does it do? And look at the tags attached: Loss of
privacy, jealousy and hatred, security issues, and so much more. Is it worth it?
Ultimately, even the rich and
famous are human beings. In their position, it’s a rat race. To stay on top of
the ladder is the name of the game. And stress levels are unbelievable! No
wonder then that the extra energy comes from other artificial addictions
because moral strength is certainly not visible here as a source of that extra
energy.
Actually, and unfortunately,
all the anchors have been lifted from us. The biggest minus because we are now
like rudderless ships, running amuck on the sea of life, getting swept by
lashing waves wherever they take us. No control over ourselves.
