What runs in my mind, what i want, is nothing more than an illusion of what i want the world to be. If it weren't for this quality which we all have, a quality of expecting expectations from things we do, this wouldn't have been such a big deal, but the problem is - we do. some of us want a new dog, a new house, want to get married, want a relationship with that "someone", want money, want friends, want peace - the list keeps on going; and its not that we all have only ONE want, each of us 6.5 billion people have more than one.
To different people, the world appears in a different way. What is "defined" as sane in one culture is completely preposterous in another - i mean, i always thought girls/women with sleeveless clothes are more un-traditional and more open, hence to the liking of several of my peers. Hmmm, now picture yourself in a world filled with yellow sand everywhere, with very little or no electricity, with white clad men wearing turbans walking around, in what the world calls Afghanistan, those girls/women are not that acceptable anymore now are they?
Anyway, i'm beginning to drift. What is it we want from this world? To live comfortably? To earn money? To be happy? Its funny we have these wants, because though we know the harsh reality is that one day we wont be here anymore, whether it is because of old age or cancer or the next world war, WE WONT BE HERE, and yet there are these things we seek, these things we start each day hoping we would get "somewhere". This is exactly the same that most religious books preach. It wont get inside our heads now will it?? It cant, for our heads are SO intricately wired that every attempt to thwart this want of "wants" will delete itself by default. Our brains almost treats it like as though its a virus, and an automatic antivirus software detects it and throws it out. So though we know that we are temporary, though we know that what we want and get is lost anyway, we still pursue these, which isnt that funny now when u come to think of it in a different perspective.
A human mind is about selfishness, a friend once told me. All about it. Just that one quality about us makes us so pathetic, and yet so human. We are all here for the immediate thirst quenchers, the more immediate results are what we look for. The obvious choice between a coke and warm water to quench actual thirst would by the coke by most. And even IF we realize it at the time that the former would actually dehydrate us, we still overlook that very conveniently. The immediate satisfaction got by the coke is a lot better than warm water, and SO WHAT if we get obese, SO WHAT if we dehydrate.... SO WHAT? Its better to live a life satisfied rather than not. Right??
Maybe this blog help you visualise things differently, maybe u are offended, maybe you agree with whats in this blog, maybe you just like to read :-), whatever this has done unto you, i donot regret, FOR THE TIME BEING. What i have written above is not fact, but can be looked more upon as an opinion. To which some people will agree to as SO RIGHT, and some partially, and yet others completely against it - This is fact. To satisfy everyone is mission impossible, and its not like in the movie where it becomes possible. I sure hope the reader is not bored by what i have entered here, since this is a product of my sheer joblessness, and would diplomatically apologise to those who are. ;-)
TAKE IT AS YOU WANT IT. Until next time, bye bye.
