So, I was born this day 28 years ago! Heck of an achievement I lasted this long considering all things me. Like any other 28 year old, I finished college, got a job and did the right thing. Or was it?
The whole purpose of life at this point seems so unreal! The path is all laid out in a neatly planned map for life. School, college education, job, family and then?
Questions keep squirming in my head about who I really am. Who we all really think we are. Are we who we want to be? Or are we versions of what the so called collective society wants us to be?
The fundamentals of this great society lies in whether we confirm to the norms. Just that who set this norms is unclear to me. Whose lives are we living? Why are we so groomed to be something that we are probably not?
It is said that just because a million people do it, it doesn't become right. Is there a right and wrong? What happens when you defy the general conception of righteousness?
Have we become slaves to materialism and capitalism? Have we destined our fates to paying off mortgages? Have we confirmed to a society that expects you to just be?
The matters of identity, hits me hard in my face. Doesn't it for all of us? Who are we really? What do we need and why do we want?
Ask a homeless man what he wants and he will tell you stories that would make your heart leap out! Ask a farmer what he wants and you would be devastated! Are we so blind that we do not see these things? Or are we so conditioned that we choose not to see? The destitute don't crib! Why do we with all the creature comforts modern society has to offer?
