Meandering between daily chores and the prime reason for mankind to suffer - coveting, we often tend to, ok, cancel tend to there; we forget to acknowledge the mere existence of things around us. I was just thinking and discussing with a friend how we end up with loans for everything today. We have easy monthly instalments for an iPhone, for a bike, for a car, for a house, for everything. Things are packaged and shown across so well to us, the poor consumers that we give in because we want all of it. Its very rare and indeed hard to draw lines with materialistic possessions.
To each his own there. I mean, the world wouldn't be as colourful without as many perspectives. There wouldn't be a zillion consumers being taken for a ride every single day. All that apart, we all already have in possession, a lot of things. These are the things that we don't notice every day. These are the things we take for granted. These are the people we take for granted.
If, for a minute or two, each single day, we zoom out of the morbid whining from the arc of oblivion we all create for ourselves, we see that we have a life! And that, its a life that's not so bad. We could obviously choose to cry about umpteen number of things, but when will we actually learn to appreciate? We have a life. Its just hidden under the various covers we draw over it ourselves, giving in to peer pressure, situational demands, or very simply because someone told us that leading life is to happen in a certain way. If all of us led life the same way, the world would be void of the many scientists, artists, doctors and beautiful people like you and me. There is no formula for life. There is no equation to be followed. There is no preset 'way' to lead life. If there is any, it should be the one you and I create. Not blindly follow a herd because 'it was told to them so'.
Life is beautiful. Its upto us to choose to take each day as a blessing or go to bed whining. If any formula, its just how simple it is. How simple it is for us to make it.
