Is not expecting, pessimism? That was AmChak’s gtalk status and well, all it takes is a little cue to start wondering... This is a pointless post. As are all of them anyway.
The little joys of life are not such big a deal from a different perspective. Age is not just a number. There is no point “sighing like a furnace” because if we turned back time, we’d all make the same choices all over again. If you’re not smart, you can still get away with creative. Your best friends may always have something more exciting or someone more important in their lives. Love may not be blind. The most dependable person in your life, your anchor, mentor and role model, may not understand or not care so much after all. Things fall apart. God is possibly not fair, and you might not even be the one he’s unfair to. All the sacrifices you made may not even be worth it. You can never tell if you’re popular, or infamous, or plain irksome. Is it confidence or over-optimism? Or simple showing off? Money could buy you everything. And yet, life goes on. It’s easy to delude oneself into believing one is happy. And loved. And wanted. Because for most, life is what happens from an outsider’s point of view, and the self doesn’t really care so much.
Oh well, pessimism can be a highly rewarding way of life.
Mostly we end up asking for witnesses in life telling us at every point of time that our life is not going unnoticed thus recording our life from an outsider's perspective.Well I think thats the way life is!
ReplyDeleteNo relationship/feeling in this world is completely mutual. Always look for grammatical errors. Asymmetry is the source of all problems. Shortcuts in general reduce impact coz they don't look good. I guess there is no point.
ReplyDeleteThere can be a very thin like between being pessimistic and being realistic. Pessimism and optimism are two extremes which limit you in some ways. Striking a balance keeping the reality in mind can be one of the most boring(may be pointless) ways of leading life. In a good way ;) Besides that, I love this post because it is poetry :)
ReplyDeleteIn most cases, it is sadness or desperation rather than happiness that leads to philosophical thoughts. Only pure independence can lead to painless life. There is no fun if there is never pain. Because happiness is not proportional to absolute anything. It is proportional to the derivative. Why have you guys turned so philosophical?
ReplyDeleteGood one.
