we all work...rite...for a living..for a life...for a dream.
we try to do somethin that might add mening to our existance.
We grow up, learn about life...study to get a meaningful occupation, be gainfully employed...earn that pot of gold which will keep us till our time comes..it works...its a lot...but maybe not....its life.
yet, somewhere down the line, that nagging feeling of " this being all meningless" comes to u. And its no matter where or what we do...we all have come to that phase, rite?.
It funny how common this is becomming and how elongated these phases are in each of our lives. Stress becomes us...and we wonder...whats the bottom line?
its been the same with me too. I had a dream as a lil girl...saw grow ups...saw them do "important work", take all the "important decisions"... "power dressup".
TV was all about those facinating Business Magnets...their lives...how they made thir dreams come tru...u name it.
People around me...infact for all us....encouraged to be competative..."go and get em tiger"..."do something with your life"...always dreaming big.
And thats how its always been...achive one horizon, chase the next...keep on moving...sound exciting huh!?
It did for bit...but then " burn out", " exhaustion", " how much more ?"...well u know the trip.
Today, its not like as if the fire has died down...it rages...but its making me...and a lot of people I know...very tired, very crabby...very upset. Apparently with not one reason...many.
Often I find people I know...hankering for the "younger" days.
Its wiered...u fight to be on top... and then u wish you were back to where u earlier were.
I dunno if poeple would ever, really,, trade success...but yes...they surely cant take the concequence...stress!
Stress..or atleast the mental stress....has taken a big toll on so many.
Today, almost everyone I speak to is "listless", "lifeless"..yearning.
It so easy to have platitudes put forward, and " words of encouragement ".
sometimes, they are difficult to comprehend. often, when I am being "pep talked"...its almost like being spoken to in a different language..a language I dont understand.
Do I want an answer to "why" ?...no...i need to know "how"..how to feel content with what I have...how to accept life today...how to loose this crabby bit...but in a language I understand...in a mode my mind can acept.
maybe more that anything...there is a need to understand that there is a life to be lived...and that there is more to me/ us/ we ....than just this...
