Beast of Burden

All of us have a baggage, which we carry until our dying day. It helps when you have someone to help you ease the pain of carrying it around. It works wonders to talk it out with your friends rather than piling it in your heart and mind. It’s the soul that gets stressed out.

I fail to understand what exactly are we looking for in life?? Fame? Money? Friends? Support? What exactly?? And how much of it?
You slog your arse off your entire life to earn money, fame, name, acknowledgement…whatever. And the result? Once you bid adieu to this atrocious world no one remembers you. That’s right. No one does. Even if they do – it’s not for long. Your family perhaps keeps you alive in their memories for sometime. But that’s about it. No more. No one.

The truth lies in the fact that life is too short to understand or interpret things and actions. Do what your heart wants to do. Do what your mind tells you to do. If you start finding meaning in everything you do, there perhaps might not be any fun or enthusiasm left. Live in the moment. Live for the moment. You won’t even realize when and how life would pass you by. Make the most use of the opportunities given. Grab them. With both your hands.
Life doesn’t just mean – to be born, to live, to breed, to raise our offspring and finally to die. There’s more to it.
I see myself taking certain decisions under certain situations. But circumstances lead to those decisions. What feels right then might not feel right later. But that does not mean that the decision was wrong. Definitely NOT. Conditions change, and so do the outcomes. I never regret my actions. If I feel I’ve been unwise at a point, I make sure I learn from it. To err is human after all. (And to really goof up things - you need to be an arsehole! Hah!)

Some might agree with me. Some might not. But does it matter to me? – NAHH!

Its like how we all live in “phases”. We might like a certain thing for sometime, and before long, you would be over it. Be it music, food, clothing, and even people. Yeah that’s true. Why are you giving me such a look? Introspect man! Look deep within. Is it not true that a person you wanted to meet everyday, or talk to, seems so ‘out of the league’ after a while? Their talks seem irritating. They are looked upon as critics rather than a friend. We start taking them for granted. And all for the simple fact that the ‘phase’ is over.

We all seem to be chasing something or the other in life. Style, fashion, money, fame, ambitions, dreams, or people. We always seem to like what they have. Be it their money, fame, luxuries, friends or life partner. We might not show it. But not revealing the fact doesn’t imply that it doesn’t exist. It is so simple to explain yet so complex in nature. Yes, the grass is greener on the other side.

Well, I am free to have my opinion and you are welcome to have yours. As long as neither of our opinions hurts the other person, we're good.
Life ain’t all that complex. Look, we are surviving it. Our survival, in itself is the meaning/reason of life.

Life takes a full circle. You ultimately stop from where you began. And the outcome – Zero.
