Nope..i am not writing about Linkin Park. The other day, it just struck me what is it like at the end of this long journey called life. I might do my graduation, masters, work on some other degrees, have a job, have a family, and all that normal stuff.
But to think of it, should it be that way..??? Has nature created such complex beings called Humans (with BRAIN) to do this routine stuff. I am not saying that all this routine stuff is unworthy; all these degrees require decent amount of brain and understanding. But is der some other side to it..?? We might have great technomlogies, great engineering expertise but somehow i feel that mabbe this is not the only stuff we are capable of developing. All these materialistic things cant be the only entities that we can think of. Mabbe the greatest developement we can acheive is to develop one own self. We might know how a satellite works and how to reach MARS but whats the point when we cant reach within our own's selves.
Within me, I somewhere feel that things like flashy cars, huge buildings all distract us from the main purpose of Self-Development. The other day i was just thinking of it and suddenly a convertible merc passed which instantly distracted me from what i was thinking.
But does it mean that we shudnt enjoy all the great inventions created by man and nature. However i dont think while enjoyin nature we get distracted. Closer we are to nature closer we feel with ourself. I dream of being on beach, in the wild many times and i guess it will take me closer to myself. But the chances are while doing so mabbe we keep aside the actual purpose of human birth. Or why cant we strike a balance between two.
Mabbe everyone has to think for himself. I am still in the process of thinking and havent reached any conclusions yet.

so true...nature brings us at peace with ourselves werease materialistic things only takes away our peace of mind..but still the complex human species(with brains)always makes the wrong choice...
ReplyDeletealso the more materials we produce..more we exploit nature.Build a huge construction on a plot of land,cut down all forest in that area;Make a new car,dig all natural resources out of the earth.This leads to soil erosion,then we add pesticides and all to make soil healthy,then we fall sick ,then go to the doc to fall even more sick..and the story just goes on.
I just wish if more ppl start believing in the funda of "simple living-high thinking".
I think this mch of a lecture is enuff for today.lol :P
lolzz...yah i agree that nature is being exploited but the jest of this post was to realize that there are things apart from the tangible onez that are more important to achieve and will, in turn, provide us wid more satisfaction..
ReplyDelete:P...ye i know..but there was a similar article which i read b4 reading your post...and so the two got mixed and i just went on and on and on..
