Hope

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death - Robert Fulghum

I dont want to die an animal!

As the rajni song goes, only a child or a saint (not the ones that own 300 million) who has truly renounced the world can claim to be really happy. How I wish I can still be a baby, without a care in this world, fed at regular intervals, never understood thus never judged upon and never can understand others, thus innocent and more importantly always truly loved by everyone. It is not to be, we all are born, and then as we grow, we begin to use the one advantage we have over animals, the so called sixth sense, the ability to think and reason, we ask questions, some quite stupid. To answer these questions and because our parents know best, we learn, from people around us, schools and as and when we are ready to take on this world, we are let loose on the society.

Most often that not, this is where we prove life goes around in circles, we start lose our one advantage over animals, we get sucked into routine, doing what others what us to do, to behave like animals and we do nothing much but hunt for ourselves, reproduce and die! The education that we had gained that so is the only things that differentiates us from animals then just becomes a tool that helps us to hunt for more, a tool that helps our vanity. How many of us can really claim to have made a difference to this world?

I look at myself now, I get up, work, eat and sleep, wait for my weekends, have fun. As for the future, I want to share my life with someone special, see the world, raise children and when its time, die peacefully. But as I explained my life is so boring, the prospect of sharing it is not exciting anyone, no marks for guessing that I am single, more on that when I really am drunk. When we see men/women of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men/women of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. Inspiration does show its face now and then, it’s not easy to find, but there are many people who have followed something passionately (Other than making more money) and made a positive difference. I so want to do something different, something that I can be proud of, something I can give to this world and say ‘There you go, thank you for having me’ – so my aim now is to find out what I am really interested in aiming for and until that dawns upon me, I shall dream of leading India into the 2040 FIFA World Cup as underdogs and finish as WORLD CHAMPIONS!
