Each day I see many faces. Some are familiar to me and some are not. When I begin to follow someone’s activity for a certain amount of time, what I get to know is what they really want to do, not what they are actually doing.
I find myself standing in a busy street. I am holding a book in which I write about the things happening around me, as I see them. Each and every person I see keeps circling around the same streets, with their fingers swiftly swiping their phones, which makes me laugh. I hardly find people holding the hands of their loved ones in the streets. I hardly find parents playing with children. I rarely find people like me roaming around the streets with a book in their hand, in which they scribble their tears.
Everyone is running for something, but they don’t know what they are running for. This situation of the world worries me. The technology has created a virtual world. When one connects to it, he disconnects himself from nature, real love. They forget to relish and enjoy small moments in life. The aura of nature goes unnoticed. At times the things they do are not the things they really want to.
People are afraid of social image, class and status. On conversing with many I often get to know that they are more of what their parents wanted of them than they themselves. In my opinion they are donkeys that carry the burden of others. We humans have one life and we have wisdom to choose how to live it. We either live it slaving for other people’s dream or can slave for our own dreams. Money is not the factor, we must not be self-centered but we must let go off things that make us sad and inhale those which make us smile, even if for a short time. Living our own dream is no sin. Blind obedience is no joy.
Nowadays one rarely finds someone who walks along new streets to know new places and to live for own dream. People are connected to many through internet, but they might not even know their neighbors well. People post quite a lot against corruption and poverty, but I rarely see someone helping the poor in the market place. People are busy in their lives, but they are not happy. This is because they try to imitate and act. One can only enjoy life when he is true to himself.
My mom has asked me many a times:
“Why do you worry about the things which are irrelevant to you ?”
“Why don’t you just make a good career?”
“Why is there no fear of living in your eyes?”
These questions always bring a smile to my face, and make me say, “I might be idiotic. I might be a spoiled person, and most of all I might be a failure, but I am not one among you, I am grateful to live a life which I have always dreamed of.”
