On second thoughts ....

Why do we make our lives so complicated?
Am having second thoughts ....We have so many whims and fancies...So many contradictory thoughts ...
So many hassles to deal with ...So many idiosyncrasies ...We make life complicated for ourselves and others ...with our actions.

Our actions .... our thoughts ... make us do wild things ... wild decisions ... which we, of course regret later .... but, all the more while deep in the middle of it ...we just overlook it and end up getting bruised and hurt.

On second thoughts, why do the action which we may regret later? Why not remain cooped up in our little pigeon holes and be safe? Why not remain in our fear based cabins and never come out? Afraid of getting hurt? Why? That's what makes you better and better each time ... else you would be just like anyone else... just living .... living under the shadows, never venturing out ... just alive ... a zombie ..a living dead. Where would your self be? Where would your creativity be? You are a nobody and will remain so forever... what would you have achieved? On second thoughts ... Are we here to achieve something? Are we existing coz' we need to make a mark and leave a legacy behind so that people remember us? Height of narcissism... That's it.

On second thought... why not just live for yourself? Why not be you ? Why not just let things be and move on and find a path of your own? That is the state of nirvana which we all seek. Pure bliss... no hangups ... just you and your thoughts and the culminating actions thereof. Why do we make our lives so complicated?

Expectations! Yes, the root cause of any conflict in our mind. We expect too much from others. We give in order to receive .... expectations ... that kill the soul within .... too much to handle... too little to give.... yet expect to receive always.

We haven't yet outgrown our idiosyncrasies or our boots of youth. We are just floating around expecting things to be hunky dory always. It is not so. We are just playing our parts in a game ... a mind game of sorts .. that makes our libido high ... a kick that lasts for a second and then nothingness ...  a hollow ... a black hole ... immense .. within which we lose our senses and selves.

A trajectory path that we undertake when we are catapulted into a state of high intensity emotions and then all lies still when we are in deep space and a melancholic sadness fills us up. The highs and lows of life.

On second thoughts... it's as though we are being experimented upon and a log is kept of our reaction to situations. We are being watched. We are guinea pigs in a big laboratory of life called Earth.
