Thinking

I find it difficult sometimes to concentrate but I do get over it, but by then sometimes what I was doing may be long gone pass me. I still do struggle to understand why we as humans tend to judge certain situations in life and generalise things. Are we going against to what Darwin said in his evolution theory? Can’t humans evolve? Can’t they do things differently and achieve the same results? Or come up with even better results? What most people tend to do is evaluate life based on what they know or what they’ve heard about. We have completely forgotten that people are different. We no longer see this and this is why all the generalisations are happening and this is why we classify people and situations.

There is a saying that always haunts my thoughts which I heard from a particular drama. That is “We are captives or our identities living in prisons of our own creation”. The first time I got my ears on this, I realised how powerful this statement was. It just opened my mind to a whole new level of thinking. I just said to myself that aren’t we all doing the same thing. We are the ones who create the world around us and we determine who we are, what we do, decide on who we associate with and some of the things which we create and build our world around it. Have we ever wondered whether we have the right to determine how others think and behave! Generation after generation of humans have passed on the knowledge of how to love and survive and if you go against it by some means they label you as a destroyer of the culture, heritage, religion or even race. Is it fair to restrict individual’s free thinking and knowledge or is it fair to restrict people at all from exploring themselves? These are some questions we need to answer as individuals and as a collective society. My thoughts might be wrong or might be argued if you think so after reading this you should ask yourself one question. Did I just restrict another man’s imagination?

Time

It has been sometime since my last article. Lots of things have happened since then. Most importantly time has passed and that time cannot be reverted back.
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you could go back in time. Are you going to change all those decisions you feel bad about and that made you regret? Are you going to erase all those days you cried and paint it all over with laughter and joy?
Well, If you could do that then there’ll only be laughter and joy in this world and never, sorrow and sadness. But is it really worth living in a world where we only have one emotion? Won’t we get bored and feel more frustrated that we would want to go back in time and change it all over again?
One thing that you and I need to realise is that life needs joy and at the same time we need sorrow as well. These are the things that keep us going in life.
I was a firm believer in luck but at the same time I believed that we created our own luck. I was so adamant about this until something strange happened to me! Now I think there is something called ‘Chance’ or some call it ‘Destiny’. True, it can be manipulated by our own actions but there is a certain element of unknown that helps us from behind or drags us to darkness but all these have a reason and it sure does wonders.
This is why we need to remember that going back in time won’t change anything. Whatever happened has happened due to some reason. It may be for good, it may be for bad but all I could say is that we have deserved that, through our actions and we should accept it without going against it.
