Every time i get up in the morning to go to office, the feeling is so dispirited. I just desire to be the richest of all that very moment giving an end to all the problems of life or either wishing a walk around to avoid all the grief of getting up and going for work. Believe me I am not against working but definitely against the word being 'Ruled' by the hierarchy of the Employment Pyramid.
Well then I wait for long minutes before I convince a black beetle look-a-like rickshaw & hire him for the ride to my office. As I am on my way from the highway finding way through the hustle bustle to the by-lanes of Mumbai subways I see the air around me so calm and welcoming, the buildings painted yellow with the sunshine and the windows swaying with light colored curtains in and out, the faces of the passers by are lightened.
I watch people walking as my rickshaw halts, people who are just hand to mouth, people having less to eat and to wear but they have a smile that is not on their face but can be felt within, their desires are less and enthusiasm high, people who know little of the worldly wise and suffice in the little they know to have.
I feel so jealous of these people while I am planning my busy day. I question myself "Why do i know of all that I can have, the more I know is the more I desire." It leaves me with an unknown sympathy for myself and a sense of agony. But the question still remains " Why?"

The classic dilemma of human mind.. The more knowledge we gain, the less we know. Theres no clear answer to this 'why' thats y its better to try n live happy within one's own realm because in the end.. we r lucky to have wht v have.. many people who arent in ur place may b dreamin abt tht u knw...
ReplyDeleteWell Mayank well said but all i feel then is not to be rich but to have less and be contained. I know too much of things around me and desire to have them but wish to know less so that i dont run after them but be happy with what i have. Thnx for the post..
ReplyDeleteI believe that being happy is one thing that we can actually control... Just tell urself that you arent a superhero and cant handle/get everything :) .. Will help in 'un-learning' .....
ReplyDeletewell one thing i can confidently say..it is not at all abnormal ..even I feel the same :P
