The rat race.....join the marathon or be a Man

Do we really enjoy our life..do we really ?

These words were banging my head for quite sometime now. From our early childhood we are put through a rigourous process of proving yourself....day in and day out we just slog slog and slog why...to prove yourself that you are the best..yeah we best make a donkey of ourselves...

No am not in a bad mood when am writing this...yet just a feeling of what we make in doing what we are doing now...some slog to become a perfectionist...some to make name and some to make money...yet we never sit back and enjoy the small pleasures of life...

25 years of life goes into this initial phase and what you get are a few medals and certificates...So proved yourself well enough ? Are these the indicators of your success ?

Well am not saying that one should run away from the duties, the rigour of education and the responsibilities...what I feel is one should first understand the basis of ones existence...why are we here and what should be our behaviour towards others..

How often do you think of going to a beach and watch the sunset...how often do you think of going out on a long walk with your girl...how often do you think of going out with your family without any reason.....how often do you think of spending some silent moments with the person you love....

Well they are the last in our priority list....the least bothered things...we just don't understand that these things are the essence of our life...they make us...

25 more years to go...well one can live life like a rat...chasing the cheese with the rest of the world...or one can be a Man and live like a Man...with those feelings and moments which make us Human...

One small addition...One of my friend commented that guys from middle class can't really afford to slog less and be left out...

Well thats the whole point...does ones happiness defined by what class we belong...even the poor can be really happy and the richest billionaire be the most unhappy guy....

Well happiness cannot be defined by class, money, assets or other such stuff...

It's a state of mind....it's incremental...and is build up of those small things...which really matters...
