Musings

Life is something worth experiencing, worth living and worth observing. I don't think many of us do that. So what do we do. In my minuscule years of existence on earth, following is what people do most of the time with their lives -
1. " SO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW???"
2. "OK, THATS WHAT HE MEANS, HUH IDIOT"
3. "WOW THATS SO LOVELY, I WISH I HAD IT"
4. "NOW LETS SEE HOW I GET TO RISE THE LADDER"
And there are infinite such similar things coming to our minds. Why? Oh of course, that is how we are nurtured, probably natured too. But is this all worthwhile? Is this making us better?

Ok, but the alternative life to this is pretty boring, dont you say? I mean you do not desire anything, you do no want anything, you probably are just screwing up big time of what God has created for you (via Mr.Edison, and other such noble people).

And then there are people who understand that a majority is the latter, the ones who really want to live life and experience everything that can possibly come their way. How do you make this life better? Bring more things their way!! Almost all the civilized world runs on the fundamental concept of "increase the hunger". What is this principle? Ok, you take medicine to improve your apetite, and with improved apetite you eat more that screws your apetite big time, and you take medicine again. Long back, Oscar Wilde called this thing a vicious circle..

As you have observed I have become pretty serious now. So where are we going with all this greed for material goods? We are striving for means to acquire those. Introducing, Ladies and Gentleman, our friend of about 2000 years now, MONEY!! Ok, I have my apetitite increased how can I get something to eat? Here my love, have some delicious goodies. Oh! and did I mention that you will have to give me some of those green things in your pocket. What you dont want me to give those? Ok, I am not asking it right now, here sign these papers and you can give it to me anytime in next 5 years. What if you don't give? You dirty pig you will rot in a jail.

Money, the thing that causes everything to run around us except nature. Money, for which I spend about 12 hours of my wakeful time in a place called office, and without which I could not have been writing this.

Just so readers don't misjudge, I didn't particularly like writing this!!
