Generally speaking

I'm a very inquisitive person by character. Well, err...one reason why I should go into research. But that's another story.

There's this concept that has been in my mind for quite a while now. And ipso facto, I have a lot of questions.

CHANGE

I feel, with every passing year and with every new invention coming our way, over years, it's making the thought process of an individual alive, more and more, distorted and morbid.

A person I knew was killed a few weeks ago by her own maid, who worked for her over 5 years, and her boyfriend. They jumped in her house in broad daylight, pushed her aside, where she hit her head and died.
Died for a gold chain, a few earrings, 2 bangles and a lil cash.

That was what her life was worth for.

Everything around us is getting more expensive. Life is getting more easier with gadgets, making it easy for you to have a practical relationship with a person halfway across the globe and at the same time, it's getting much more difficult to survive as a person coz the Needs never end!
There is this constant need... of a new cell phone, a new tablet, a glorious career, a new car, a new companion...or some goddamn insane fetish one can probably imagine!

I know Desires is what makes you. They keep you going. But come on, there is a limit. A Limit not outside you like your past, you social status, money or your mental mediocrity.

 A limit within. 

A limit that comes from your heart that tells you that you don't want anything more than this, that makes you satisfied. 

Content.

In an age where you call yourself intelligent than monkeys and other animals in that matter, is asking for this content in your heart, too much? In an age where you are running to get ahead, of God knows who, do you even know where you are heading? Coz if your so called success is achieved, at the end of this race, makes you a cold blooded mammal  incapable of having a best friend to call, or a lover by your side or a family to call your own or if it makes you....distorted and morbid, like others are now.....Why would you call it your Destiny?

I am not saying you should not win or have dreams or be a part of a race. I am not asking you to give up everything that you believe in. I am asking...What is missing? What is it that we are missing?

When and Why did someone forget to teach us....that LIFE has to be held supreme and that taking someone's life or ruining one's or using someone, is not a stepping stone to success.

In every damn corner of the earth.
