About the things that really matter


All our lives we have learnt that be this, be that and what not. However, a lot has been lost in that process. And nobody still gives a crap about that. We've instead got apps, consultants, gurus etc who claim to fill that void that nobody feels is important. Do you really think anyone can? Ofcourse not.

The times have changed. Infact, they're changing faster than we had imagined. But what has been constant is our obsession for success and being a successful individual. A lot of people have lot many ideas regarding that and that's the problem. You are fed with so much bullshit about how a successful career can only give meaning to your life. One can only imagine how the world would look like if people had told each other often that it's important for us to have a sense of belonging, appreciate what we have, be a rich person but in terms of values. The sense of competing should rather have been in terms of being a better person. But something is terribly wrong with our society and it's difficult to pin point as to when it started or was it always the case?

I have always been a believer in the small things in life and feeling grand about them anyway. I would rather be in the moment than be checking emails in a luxury car and cribbing about everything that is wrong with what's happening but being content anyway because you're being paid handsomely high. I just want to ask all such people, is trading everything for money really worth it? Don't you want to treasure the juice of life? I think that it's high time that we stop being mindless creatures and appreciate the essence of life. Value it. Water it. We all deserve to have fulfilling lives.
