Another Rant!

Why do we have to become things, and achieve certain goals in life? Why does human life have to be purposeful and goal oriented? If we have to aim for something then it should be of true happiness. And true happiness comes out of feeling satisfied about everything. But the human mind is corrupted to not be satisfied and to always want more, to always want to achieve goals. Can anyone be truly happy? There's always fear in the end, if and when you do get all you ever want and wanted. The fear of losing all you have. What is life about then? Becoming what you want to, doing all the things you want to? But the wanting never stops. So, life is just an endless spiral of wanting and getting and then wanting even more and then getting again and not getting means failure? What's the point? What are we trying to prove? We want to be so rich and so loved and so famous and so happy. That's all, right? We want no war and yet we're so frustrated and raging war perpetually. Why do we want to be successful? Because that's what we've been doing all this time. All of mankind has lived and is living their life with the sole purpose of always winning and being happy. Isn't there another way to live? Has anyone lived a purposeless yet happy life? Is it possible for us to just be contented with the little joys that used to thrill us when we were children? Can anyone retain the unconditional happiness of childhood joys? We want to do the things we want to because we are expected to and when we don't, when we even question authority, we feel guilty. What is the guilt for? For not being able to perfectly screw your life by following the general route of human existence? That of doing what is expected of us to do? Life should be all about love. That's the only way we can get this place to be livable. Money, lust, ego, greed, religion, politics, these are the real greenhouse gases. These are the real culprits. That's why we are so unhappy. That's why we keep wanting. We think god will give us what we all want. That's not possible. We all can't have everything. Simple logic. There is no god. If there was or were god(s) the world as we know it would be different. And the world is what we know it to be and what we want it to be at the same time. We make the beds we're sleeping in. Nothing like destiny. You get what you deserve and what goes around comes around. Why i am writing this i don't know. I know that I'm trying to understand how life works and what does this all mean. But writing about it won't make me know. I have to go through life. Go through all the wanting and getting and sometimes not getting and in the end fear that all will be lost. Ha ha.

    I won't go to the 'God' and Destiny' part of your post, ha :P .... However, your post is nice and it reflects the thoughts of a zillion people on this earth, but none of us can change whatever is happening no matter how much we want to...No person can be happy as he has other people to look at.. he looks at how they are happy in their own different worlds and how they have things and he wants them too and that's how the wanting starts....as for purposeless lives, that's boring ha :) We crave for some purpose in our lives because having some purpose is like having some clarity, as to why have we come down as humans and not as useless mosquitoes... and, that's what I think :P

New Quotes

For people who believe strongly in the illusiveness of life, to doubt would be more correct than to bear full conviction about anything at all. But then again that questions their primary belief in illusions. - Aditi A world without faith in a higher power or a god is a better world where we can be responsible for our own actions; where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. Many events may have defied your ability to explain, events that seem like miracles, but if you are convinced that you failed to understand them because you're still woefully ignorant about the universe and the learning will never stop, then, you cannot and will not believe that a deity altered the workings of nature. Don't ignore reality in order to comfort yourself, for once you do, you make it easy for others to deceive you. Understanding breeds empathy. We do not writ

Punchline is Inside

I bite my tongue the instant the doctor's assistant punches holes into 7 crisp report printouts I bite now, that's my thing If knuckle nails is to wolverine Unbidden masochistic biting is to me, I'm wolver-rani My teeth, it is the one good thing I got from my father The very same set of even molars, aesthetic incisors and sharp canines And how I choose to care for it is to not Barring the nighttime brushing routine There is daily jhanjhanahat they must endure In the form of cold water and hot oatmilk chai But enough about crowns bound to jaws I didn't come out of my writer's block for this What I did want to write about is the philosophical undertone of teeth clenching and what it means about control, or the lack of it About wanting to keep your head (and jaw) above water because life is not consistently kind About being a drama queen, with crowns plural, who seeks sympathy in oatmilk chai because dairy is apparently not my friend, and supposedly never was I wanted

Swedish Pineapple

Tethered and twisted; Tethered and twisted I lay in the sand. Fumbling and tumbling and lost and down on the ground, Groggy and bloody and clumsy. I am unreachable. I am wasted and thrown. Blotched are my scars of the night. I am broken beyond repair, Nobody asked you to come fix me. You couldn't even if you tried is one thing, I'd rather you not is another. Untimely is this occasion. Blasphemous is this situation.   I am where I am You're where you are; And you're where you are Twisted and devious Jumbled and knotted You are All that you are I am All that I am Look now, there your carriage goes Without you Run after it lest you miss it Why should I, you question, When it won't stop for me? I give you that knowing look you know so well And say For if you don't it shall leave you behind You then give me a knowing look I know so well And say I'd rather be behind if it means being with you.
