At every step of our life we keep looking for answers. We have this inexplicable need to know it all. And that's the greatest irony of life. We know it's impossible to know the future, still we strive to define a future for ourselves. Every small decision we need to take, we think about the future and how this might affect us later.
A person who does this, is praised and a person who lives in the moment, on the edge, is trashed by the society. But who are the ones that are actually living life like it should be. Or is "should be" itself non existent?
Every where we are advised to live life fearlessly, to do what heart wants, to take risks.
Shouldn't those who actually have the guts to practice what's generally preached be looked upto? Y doesn't it happen?
Our fears and insecurities and egos are projected out as hatred for those who are different from us. And it is the same fear and insecurity that makes us look for answers every step of the way.
I used to suffer from inferiority complex. Maybe I still do. But thinking about it, maybe everyone is travelling in the same boat. everyone is just as insecured about themselves as I am. Only, some of us have realised it and others didn't and they cheat themsleves just to avoid facing the truth.
I was reading a book by Eliyahu goldratt. In it, he talks how all the problems in a company are manifestations of one small problem and just solving that one problem, would solve everything. Its so true in life too, isn't it?
Every problem we think we have is conceived by us, in our mind. And I think the inception of all problems is the need to satisfy or impress others. We fear what people might think of is. We fear how we will look infront of others if we do something we like. Why should others have such an important role in our life? Until recently I didn't want anyone to read my blog, because I thought I sucked at writing, because I thought it was amateur. But why should we be afraid about what others might think!
If we could just detach our emotions from influencing or being influenced by other's, how peaceful our lives would be!
