I find it difficult to assimilate the fact that at the end of the day this is all a mind game…we are, after all, a sum of our circumstances and more importantly…choices we make in them.
A thot that’s been playing in my mind lately…and I contemplate over it as I age every year. I keep wondering if I’m getting more and more cynical (of course I am!) and is it evident to me??
Yday, was with some friends and their kids and experience the “ grown up syndrome” of skepticism and cynicism…neatly bundled in prose in poetry. Anguish and irritability ( and this includes mine) of situations and circumstances and petty musing that torment the mind…the works.
And on the other hand…saw the kids…gamboling away, no care in the world…footloose, carefree no tensions and pretensions. Even precocious kids (and quite a few kids I come across are precocious tday !)…seemed unmindful of anything. Unlike us…all hot and bothered about every one and everything we think about.
Why cant we just let go and just be...why do we nee to think about these things at all???
Being stuck is unhealthy…it blocks creativity; it blocks happiness…basically everything that makes us want to keep moving on.
And while it’s easier to write an after thot than accept the fact and move on, I must admit that even after recognizing this fact yday…I kept mulling about something or the other.
And while I have been mulling over inconsequentials, there has been much going on around me :
· Fed’s cut rates again by a quarter
· Stan O’Neal is out, so is Charles Prince
· Markets have touched 20k…intraday
· The $ finds a new low everyday
· Diwali is upon us, its been month into the new stint
Facebook is depressing me too…!
