Over the years, I have learnt to take life as it comes. Life has taught me to compromise and move on. There are certain things in life that I cannot control. I just try to do my best in the rest. This has worked pretty well for me. I may not have achieved everything, but I have done good for myself. I am happy and content with what I have on that front. So what is it that I want?
Sometimes, I think that I want peace. I just wanna relax and spend my time with alcohol, football, movies, music and some gal. But in times like this, when I have absolutely nothing to do.. I get bored and despartely look for some engagement.. something constuctive. So lazying around is definitely not what I want from life. I wanna do something.. but what???
Maybe, I wanna give something back to the society. Let me say 1 thing clearly - I and all u are really really privileged to have whatever we have today. I find it funny when people say that they are tensed about some useless test they need to take or some useless ppt they need to give. I do not know why people cry (sometimes literally!) bacuse of a bad test. I think it is because u are so privileged that u can spend so much time and energy wondering what would happen if u scored below 80 (or 90) in some test. There are so many people in the world who go to bed wondering whether they can feed their children the next day. That is pressure. May be I want to do something for them.. maybe I want to help them in some miniscule way.... which will never change anything ....but maybe I will get some satisfaction or maybe I will find an aim for my life. But all this is too distant ...rite now I need to make an useless ppt for the conclusion of my training as a software engg. So this social work thing is not my primary aim.. at least judging by what I am doing now.. its not.
This sort of leaves just one option... I dont wanna find out an aim for my life. I am casual by nature.... I guess u knw tht too. Maybe I am just too lazy to pursue a goal! At the end of the day, I consider the greatest luxury is to have the ability to do whatever u want whenever u want. But, having a goal probably doesnt allow u to do whatever u want! Then u become a slave of that goal. Or do u?? GOD knows!
Besides, logic is really boring. If everything followed perfect logic, then the world would have been so predictable and so boring... things would have been so routine! It is because of stupid emotions.. that we make mistakes and that brings the element of unknown and unpredictability in the world. It is our stupidity which has made the world so exciting. So I guess not knowing what I want to do will allow me to do lots of stuff !
I know what I have said above is mostly meaningless.. random.. no connection between 1 thought and another.. but thats how I am sweetheart!! Possibly, this is why I never do anything and spend my time doing useless stuff like writing blogs!
Let alone doing something consturctive.. most of the time I cant even think constructively.... its always some hottie who messes up my thots! fuck u hotties!!! (I wish !)
Dude...vary thought provoking article written in typical lazy Rizu style...I too wonder like you. I really don't know what I seek or for that matter what people seek in life...Is it happiness?? Probably no...coz if happiness is all we need then we are (or can be) happy as we are ... there is so much around us to be happy...but no we seek something, something we ourselves don't have any clue about...I guess this question is the ultimate question one needs to answer at a spiritual level...Keep posting
ReplyDeleteThe thought "what i want to do ?" is really the force that makes u live. Imagine if u always knew what u want to do.(the thing u have pointed out too. Knowing ain't always a boon) Life wud be so boring bcz u always know what to do. So rizu dear, u r lucky u don't know what to do (and many others are too like u :D ) And there is nothing like spiritual level i guess. its just that u don't have the "GOD KNOWLEDGE" that makes u use terms like spiritual and non-spiritual knowledege..
ReplyDeleteWell to conclude.. good work rizu.. ur thoughts do provoke a chain of more thoughts . Keep dropping more stones in the lake
:D

fenk diya stones.. ab ja uthake la lake ke niche se.
the love towards unpredictability makes u wt u r Rizu! :) and regarding happiness n that quintessential essence of fulfilment, i think you r very right.. almost all of us seem to have practically evrythin which (theoritically) are required to usher in the realm of completion.. but, no... we r always missing out on sumthin.. some small intricacy which, if discovered could help us grasp the meaning of Life..
ReplyDeletekeep posting! n take care :D
reading ur article or watever u call it..random thoughts put together gives me a sense of deja vu. we ,at least i plan to do a lot of things like u said 'something for them' but trust me it is a momentary feeling, my 'work' or ur ppt assumes primary importance in due course of time and we blissfully forget al that we had to do for 'them'. We stupid mortals end up getting very busy and worked up about the 'same set of trivial stuff'(as u term it to be) and in the end search for some elusive happiness or what is famously termed as meaning of life!
