Fears and Perceptions

After the many thoughts that have crossed my mind on where do I direct my next post to, I have decided that it's common denominator would be the art of grown ups. Many of you now, stop to think and ponder upon the specific art of grow ups. Some (of course the younger generation with teenage angst and pumping adrenaline) think of the nagging ways that they try to enter your daily routine of procrastination; erupting your string of thought about the latest sale and the newest ride to get something done around the house. The other arts that form from a tedious mind that only comes with age and experience (as you hear many of them say), is the organization shown to range of clothes that is hung in there wardrobe (colored co-ordinate d and what sorts!) and of course the never ending rant on how a consistency of clean and kept the house must be.

Now the older generation might opt for the other art they have, which  is their "parenting - responsibility role. Of course, their sacrificing, motivating, early hours of consoling, but I digress. The main art of many people these days is the form where we must make everything look good. On the outside of course, The verge where people go to all sorts of routines and regimens to get there best look on the outside before taking a step back, stopping and analyzing the big picture.

It is not just about the physical appearance of a person I take this notion into, but also the very fact that it attacks and affects the people surrounding them. A lot of it is in the form of how people try to cover up a situation to make it look like the picture perfect couple, or the picture perfect family, when all it is is just another downhill avalanche taking a turn for the bad. It does not stop there!

When people talk about the environment climbing to a halt of the ice caps melting and the the sun exploding, we get alarmed (some even frantic!) but not a lot would do what is needed if it means to get uncomfortable and somehow make the Earth look natural in its native state than doing away with plastic bags and all non - degradable items.

At the end of the day, all we have is ourselves to blame and the scary reality that we need each other to carry on our survival.

So for now , I leave you with a quote that must deeply reflect your inner being and your existence, to understand the meaning of living and your purpose of life. To be truly vulnerable at at encounter with a situation, let it take you to edge and a free - fall, and then watch as life saves your soul.

“I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that's why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection. I would like you to remember again and again, I am imperfect, the whole universe is imperfect, and to love this imperfection, to rejoice in this imperfection is my whole message.”  - Osho
