A life worth living..

How many of you are truly living?I am not talking about biology here..But some thing that differentiates us from the animals..How many of us feel the need to do things which are close to our hearts?The courage to go out there and make it large?Life..What does it mean..There have been a millions words spoken, a millions emotions shared and another millions thoughts thought about this intriguing subject.. Ever man has his say when it comes to a description on life. It is interesting to hear it, since we should understand that these are coming from a person who has reached a certain point in his life. His experiences, his understanding of these experiences, his abilities, his social qualities, and a lot more dictate this very description. This is what makes a talk on life as such so much fun and worth talking about!

I am a loner. It has been said that a lonely man has nothing to loose. I think that is true. When it comes to it, we are all loners. We all live in our own islands. Reaching out when we want and not when we don't want to. The significance that time plays in our lives is huge. We all are products of time and effort. The good things and the bad things are all important. Every one of us has a career to talk about. Step back in time. You are in your school, sitting along with your buddies. Nubile, young, impressionable minds. Anything that is said is interesting then. We are all typically faced with a question that always brings out a mixed reaction in us. "What do you want to become when you grow up?"there are two things here in this question that i would like to address. Is it in my hands as to what i will become?And what do you exactly mean by grow up?

I know 5 years old kids with the maturity level that far exceeds those of our politicians. Does this mean that the kid can run the country? Life is what happens when we are making other plans. This points hits you in the face like a sledge hammer when you are standing in a line, for the past half trying to pay your electricity bill! Coming back to the question. A child is in no position to answer it. I am very sure that many of us have faltered on the way here. What we are is not what we wanted us to be. Change. And that is the entire concept that i am trying to explain here. We all change. For the good or bad, let some one else be the judge of that. We have to change. That is what nature wants us to do. But at what cost?Can u smile and feel the butterflies in your stomach when your swinging on a rope 10 feet up in the air? Do you feel the same rush when you get 5 bucks from your mom and you race to the ice cream cart?I don't think so.

The one thing that pops up into our head is why did it get so complicated? I am not preaching about taking a hike to the Himalayas trying to find 'peace', that is not peace. I am battling with the same issues as you are. We can face the same tests, but in a different background, the skill sets that will get you out of these are still the same. some where down the line, the text became blurry, the issues became massive and time ran out. We fail to see the beauty of it all. The world has a lot to offer us. An incredible amount of knowledge, sights, sounds, feelings and emotions, and this life time is ridiculously short to experience it all. I find so much of suffering, hunger, anger and deceit, but for what?

Take for example this earth. What a fascinating piece of work. To think of it as an island in the vast expanse of space, where everything happened at the right time and in the right way, is just incredible. We have so much to see, so much to feel, from the earth itself. Places, people, food, customs, traditions an awe inspiring mix that will make you understand how insignificant and minute we are when it comes to the larger picture. We are only making a fool of ourselves when we get too engrossed with our own self, because my friend, in the end, it does not matter.
