Just a mere glance on the categories on my WordPress dashboard presents a glaring fact. WE HAVE TAKEN LIFE WAY TOO SERIOUSLY.
I mean taking the efforts to categorise data and give it headers? what happened to free will? Again making a conscious effort to start sentences with a Capital letter. All programmed into us mere mortals.
A baby comes into the world (trying hard not to post any wisecrack here), and its well wishers are eager to give it the best of the world. Planning begins, plotting if i may say and the experience that the kid is exposed to is pre determined by people based on their own experiences. No wonder the rich are getting richer and the poorer, well are becoming middle class.
Again the objective of the this post is being defeated since we talking about serious things. But stay with me. There is this one thing you might want to know about me (like you have nothing else to do in your life other than staring at a random person’s blog).
I like paradoxes. [Wiki Speaks: A paradox is a seemingly true statement or group of statements that lead to a contradiction or a situation which seems to defy logic or intuition. The term is also used for an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth such as two true sentences which put together seem incompatible as both being true].
Also, I like beating around the bush! (Note the popular application of the concept in the above 4 paragraphs!). Well cutting the chase, off late it dawned upon me (actually a good friend of mine held up the torch!) THAT I am taking life way too seriously and restlessly if i might dare to add. What next?? What next?? What next?? seems to be the mantra.
Also, since I like generalizing (flaw.) and I am judgmental (common people flaw – note the generalization) and most importantly I can write what i want; I feel people take their lives way too seriously. Some of this seriousness comes from a delusion that most people have that they are born to achieve greatness. I don’t mean you aren’t (note the word “Most” in the previous line which means you dont have to necessarily fall in that category!). So delusions are good as long as they are empowering (ok one last time, big words and jargon like life changing, empowering, POA, vision can be also represented through other words – Beating around the bush). But the sad state of affairs is that people work under this delusion and the minute they encounter an obstacle, a failure or a loss, they lose their minds. Primarily understand that it was a delusion to begin with.
So generalizing, I feel that Life itself likes paradoxes (heights) for only those who manage to keep believing in the belief that they can win despite failing many times over and many times again can actually win, and win BIG. Since the percentage of such fools is really small, we now know why 95% of the worlds wealth is controlled by 5 % of the population.
Since you have read enough of things deviating away from the topic, here i come (duh!). The key to “Light Le” is to be contented but at the same time not complacent. Take care of your present to the best of your abilities and the future will take care of itself (since you will be taking care of the present in the future also!). Dont fret about your future. It will work out.
The single most reason for your unhappyness is that your life is not happening the way you want it to at this instant. So be contented and le it light!
Cheers.
