The child in me doesn't seem to let go of the fact that I have grown up (and old). I think about how carefree the childhood was and not in the wildest of dreams did I imagine that life would be this way. Who does? And considering the lifestyle we lead, we don't think much about the stuff we should actually think about and we think about all the wrong stuff, things that end up owning us. Ever since my childhood I have been learning that there are certain set of rules, if you abide by them you're considered as 'good', otherwise you are 'bad'. I put much thought into that. Who decides rules? Who defines good or bad for us? Essentially they are created by us, for us. Aren't those conveniently exploited to alter our thought processes? A child grows learning all those rules and suddenly any distinction from already established beliefs comes as a shock to him and he feels lost. Who defines that a child will have a satisfying life if he follows such and such thing? Who ensures what a child actually wants? Are parents right in making every decision for their children? Can school really teach the purpose of anyone's life? Is there necessarily only one purpose, one goal that people so profoundly rant about? Is society really evolving into a progressing one? And I am not talking about those tall buildings, technology, income levels. I am talking in a much broader sense. Do you think this is going to stop any time? Now I am a grown up and..

It bothers me how we are so afraid to stop and stare and rather choose to keep running.
It bothers me how judgemental we have become, how one is superior and the other is inferior.
It bothers me how nuclear power is so much in the news and nuclear family seems to have lost it's meaning.
