Lets Think!

I have been thinking over the very thought of thinking.....

Why do we think???? Well you would possibly say "Because that’s what makes us human"... but can anybody tell me Are humans the ultimate and the happiest around???

Well in terms of materialistic gains I guess we are way ahead of any other form of life in this globe... But again the same question hits my head..."What’s the purpose of Mankind?"

I am sure Birth and Death is the only universal truth and is the only thing common between all the species but wat lies in between is so unpredictable & each one has a story of his own . They say "Survival of the Fittest" but we pay little heed to the fact that even the Fittest is bound to grow weak and eventually passes away. So why did he in the first place fight to earn the fittest tag when he knew that nothing really lasts long?? I am not into mythology much myself but I have noticed a common trait in all the Rakshashas(Devils)...they wanted IMMORTALITY" Do we have any such aim?

One would also say if we won’t think we'll live the life of an animal who comes to life, lives an ordinary way and then Death takes him back... Achilles the famed warrior fought many wars and won most single-handedly. He was the best of his time and there won’t be many Kings who wouldn’t want such a man on his side. But on the other hand, what did he achieve out of war mongering? What did he get for doing the best thing he knew 'Killing'? Probably Fame, Riches & Women...but was it suffice?? And I guess the wise believes that none of these can complete your life.. Though I am untouched with the real facts of his life but as far as I know his priority was his NAME which he wished will be there even after he’s gone. Did he witness a normal life of being a Son or Brother or Lover or Husband or Father??? He reached the aim & his name has gone down in history but wat difference does it make to him now anyways even after sacrificing so much of his normal life?? So was it all that he did worth it??

Thinking is something thats makes me write(sometimes). We think, think & re-think but all our energy is channeled towards Money, Fame but truly speaking despite of the fact that we know all these wont buy us Happyness we don’t stop chasing it. At times I wonder what is it to be saint?? Do they really know the answers we civilized keep searching for throughout our lives?? What do they have in their mind that makes them so simple? They live happy or is it an illusion?

They also say ones thinking is abstract. But I feel we can see and feel thinking in ones way of life, talks, body language, dressing sense, interests, etc or should I say in each and every aspect. But its not that easy to figure it out as these days we are not what we are! We are so tangled in fake selves. I saw a movie recently "Sweet November" which kinda tells you that we started off our run to achieve Happiness and the way we chose was Money but now we have ventured so far that we have forgotten why we started and are lost in the spherical way we fancied.

Anything in extreme is not healthy and I guess we ve crossed that limit in thinking decades ago And we pass on where we are to our children and they join us in the race which is all the more threatening. This will never End and I shall stop as I need to catch up!

Dont jus Move on...Live On

They say all who breathe have one destiny...DEATH

But I guess Destiny is the way we live our LIFE... We lose so many out here in this world because of Death and Distance but seldom do we have time to think about them because we have to move on...


I guess the origin of the phrase "move on" was not to think of too much of what we have lost and think about whats there with us.....but I am sure the intention was never to totally forget about it... and if we do we lose out on something even more important...Being Human..... "Move on" was to make us a stronger being not Ignorant... And ignorant is worse than being Weak....


Memories are a vital part in our lives....and has enough fuel of courage in it to drive you through any bad road...but if one moves on easily, memories starts fading away wias u grow old ... so if u really wanna move on please get urself together and think of those whom u have lost either by distance or death... for they deserve a thought which can be cherished as memories....


It would be a lame excuse to say Distance parts ... We discovered technologies to minimise the distance but now that we have achieved fair bit of technologies We have lost the purpose ...we no longer wanna keep in touch with the old as new excites us.... or probably we all have the same DNA...Forget n then regret...


As I may write this piece now but moments later I'll forget about this too and "Move On"

Leaders...

wat are they...afterall humans ...so wat makes them special??? Many have pondered over this thought ,few who understand them are one of them....for those who never understood them pretend to be amongst them and thrive on their innovations and take pleasure to reap the benefits....

The one who loses faith in his leaders policy(thinking) either decays OR he gets rid of the system and gets going on his own to discover new ventures for there aint any who would understand him...for them Success is how many rungs they had in their life or how many new paths they discovered for others to follow...
&
the one who believes in his leader will grow in the same environment which is safe way for him to pass and he aint wrong either... for them its Success is a way by following the above species...

Its not against nature if u happen to follow some1 else as I believe every leader has his own role model....

Leasdership is not jus leading a group of people but also chosing the right ppl who wud inturn keeep the motto of the group alive as they choose their descendants...

Thy Shall Work to Death

Jus look around and u'll see people who are no more humans but machines .... this is my perception and I may be wrong for those who pretend to work and trust me the number is huge.....

But for those who have taken up Work so seriously lemme remind
"We work to LIVE and not the viceversa"
Why do we miss those college days??? Its not because we dont have friends but we dont have time for them....
Why do we miss our dear ones love??? Its not that they are outta love but we dont give them the priority they deserve....
Why have we forgotten to celebrate ??? There were times when we wud celebrate for lame reasons as we had time but now we dont have time for rare occasions....
Why do we miss those fights with our friends??? Its not tht we dont fight anymore ,its jus that the fights have gone bitter as we seek advantage out of em at work place....
Why do we miss outings with our friends??? Its not coz we wanna save on money but our schedule dont accomodate for such a fun....
Why do we miss bonding at work place??? Its not that we work with Aliens but we have become too formal in our approach....
Why dont we enjoy parties thrown for success in professional life??? Coz people join u for the party not the success....
Why is it tht we think twice for a leave whereas we used to bunk college on desire??? I am sure most will say We are more responsible ...but what abt responsibility towards a person known as YOU... This is you man ...Its your life...

Work has consumed all of us... We are addicted to Work and I bet there'll be people who'll never realise it until they are too old and LIFE has made a mockery out of their way of living...
They say We grow by our Work experience but I wud rather prefer to grow on experiences in Life, work is jus one of the experiences...

I am not sure whats worth a chase more than our Lives... We are so involved in our future tht we have forgotten the PRESENT...

If not for your loved ones but for your own self, lets Work to Live and let both of em get a fair chance as for the person 'You' its worth it.....
