How often have you looked at the sparrow hovering round or may be the cockroach that crawled over you or may be the beautiful birds flying around? Am sure its another mundane thing. Whether its a mouse or an ant or an infinitesimally small creature which fails to attract our senses towards it, these do live.
Spend some time trying to decipher the different ways these creatures behave. Their process is so streamlined. Objectives so well defined. For an ant its getting the food inventory ready .. building a house .. helping the queen ant breed and move around in search of food. For a bird ... its collecting twigs .. finding a secure nest .. feeding and flying. Its nto that complex from our perspective. Moments of thought might just attract you into the comfort zone these creatures share. For there’s no reason to run. The beauty that lies in the simplicity these tiny lives behold.
A look at the way we have been living our lives scares me ...
We have made things so complex. Interacting continuously with the complex behavioral patterns is not just one thing rather the quest to know more has made this mind restless ever wandering in search for something which might not even exist. On the other hand this focus of getting deeper has probably detached us from the realities. Making us introverts if i aint hard! In search of a streamlined process we gradually enter into the comfort zone behaving quite similar to the directed mass which keeps moving for no reason. Its another day @office or may be @party. Yet another night .. Yet another morning.
Doing things mechanically .. punching fingers on boards .. speaking out .. strolling the way you had been doing since the past 20 years of your lives. Isnt it your story? Yes i understand you have the knack to become a perfectionist and have mastered the ways of doing things you have been since those long years. Never thought to get out .. never got the courage to question why. Even if you had the courage so strong .. never dared to go by it for you found reasons proving your current state to be far more favorable than taking a risky path. Assuming rules that have always worked. Never believing that there could be a miracle.
I am afraid for am approaching extreme levels of my sanity for after this i may literally go insane for i see a huge sense in it. These are free creatures .. free in doing what ever they like. Bothered by none.
Theres this guy half naked .. hungry since .. with a meshy long grown hair .. jumping around in circles .. blabbering some insane words ..
We call him mad! WHY? Isnt that a pure state which might not match mine? Definitely that is a state its not malfunction may be a referential defect. May be hes enjoying the state hes in .. so free .. unbounded .. unguarded. Its just that his thought patterns arent generic which is strange and thats probably makes doctors mark him a psycho! I am not advocating his state to be correct or ours .. rather the way we are moving.
We are progressive in the 21st century. I question in what terms are we moving ahead? Is it that discovering a couple of particles getting tiner in after each discovery .. or making faster motion crafts .. evading space .. or discovering GOD .. or easing lives with digits .. The inflation rate of the indian economy stands quite alarming .. the rich-poor divide will widen .. capitalism will have to face resistance .. might again turn into a communist economy .. in time .. just like the pendulum theory of jiggling between the order and chaos. The weight of books a 5 year old kid carries, surpasses to an excess of 2 times its own weight. Kids come back home from school not to play but to study a bit more. We call it guidance .. we call it progress .. Poor arent we snatching their childhood?
You walk down for a lecture. You look at these young minds for a solution to a problem and are amazed to get identical solutions! which contradicts the uniqueness of thought patterns each individual should posses. Their resistance to a creative solutions scares me .. for there can be nothing right or wrong its time to prove even then why is it that you accept its all right and rest wrong. Where is that creative thinking I wonder for there cant ever be conventional solutions to tomorrows problems .. ARE YOU STILL LIVING??
