An empty screen welcomed me as I opened my computer this evening…. Its quite welcoming… ‘give yourself to me and I will give you the world and all the pleasures you can ever imagine’…. It always says and I know how tempting that sounds but this time I just didn’t feel like it except a few random thoughts ran through my mind and it made me wonder……
We have become hollow…. No the barrel in our basements have more value than us and we have just become a shell where we have left ourselves to believe the world is all beautiful and the value of a person cant be measured in monetary terms and every person s unique with their own set of qualities be whoever they might be…… well I choose to think differently……
We has human beings have lost our identities to every other materialistic thing that surrounds us and I am no different than the rest…. We have become mindless freaks who give into the ways of what some corporate company or organization wants us to do…. Do we really need the things that we choose on a daily basis…. I mean why do we need 82 different flavours of potato chips or for that matter why do we have to have frivolous stuff that has no need in the first place….. I mean I don’t understand it and I cant seem to get my head around these things…..
I know I ask too many questions but no matter how much I try I just cant seem to find an answer….
Whatever happened to the sound of rain on a tin roof,,,, yes it is obstructed by the noise of the t.v.
What happened to friends sharing a cup of hot tea and catching up rather than just going to the malls….. have we really lost that 12 year old kid inside us who had a dream every night and who loved to play in the dirt and who had ambitions to be somebody great, do something worthwhile for the world and for humanity….. we have become greedy we have taken that kid and locked him away in some dreary dungeon where no one will find him, rather look for him in the first place….. we have become nothing but self obsessed robots who doesn’t care about anyone else other than themselves…. And I will tell you this it scares the shit out of me…. I know people are not what they seem to be and somewhere along the way everybody changes…. All I ask is why do we…. Whatever happened to us wanting to do something about the environment… we just give some money to some earth organization and leave it at that… we join some website for a daily newsletter and all we do is not even check it after a few number of times… what happened to the promise we made to our friends that we weren’t going to change and somehow unfortunately we do….. what happened when we took an oath that we would help out the needy and the poor… do we do that anyday…….
This is not a mission statement of any kind or something that would move you to the core of your heart …all I am trying to say is that we need to get out of the self absorbing shell of our blinding existence, remove the cloth that is blinding us and look at the people around us… listen to what they have to say and not just hear them out… people are dying every day from war, famine, disease , and all the other things that we just don’t choose to see…. Take a moment to think and just ask the little kid inside you what to do…. I think he will lead you to the right path….
I know that it would be really bad if we loose that little kid inside us….. because if we do then trust me we will just loose a part of our soul…. And then it would really be really fucking pathetic….
