Pleasure is not the goal

How often have you not heard people telling you that pleasure is not the goal, but knowledge is. And how rarely have you taken it seriously?

We all seem to be driven by our pleasure seeking instincts. Atleast I am, I know it. Even my lecturers in college told me that Freud would be so happy to find me as a live example for his theory!! And I will say, those who claim that they arent are blatantly lying.

But what we fail to realise is that both pleasure as well as happiness come to an end. It is infact a mistake to suppose that pleasure is a goal in itself. The cause of all miseries in todays world can easily be attributed to this thought of pleasure being an ideal to strive for.

Why?

Why do we get hurt by the people we love? Why is it that we get hurt?

Why is it that when we are happy, we get company to party and when these tears roll down my cheek, I am all alone in this room?

Why people dont bother?
And Why do I bother?

Why do I get affected by something which I knew was bound to happen?

Why is it that today when I have good news after almost about an year, I dont have anyone to share it with?

Why…

I got something to believe in

I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends
I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone
Tonight I’ll dust myself off
Tonight I’ll suck my gut in
I’ll face the night and I’ll pretend
I got something to believe in

I need to change myself first…

I have seen it that the subjective world rules the objective. My feelings, views and perceptions change the way the world is around me. Change the subject, and the object is bound to change. If I cleanse my thoughts, the world is bound to be purified. And this is one thing that I, infact we, must all learn now, more than ever before.

We are becoming more and more busy and concerned about others and less and less about ourselves. The world will change if I change. People are good if I am good. And then this major realisation dawned upon me that I cant see evil unless I will be evil. So, I guess the fault lies in me. And the best part… the solution lies in me too :-)

Charming Queen Rania !!

I had read her speech in India Today on the “Empowerment and Education of girl child” a few months back and I wont deny that she impressed me back then with her looks ( her face was the cover page of India Today that month) and ofcourse her thoughts.

Today she just reconfirmed her intellect on Oprah when on being questioned why some women wear viel in jordon while others dont, she said

Women should be judged for not what they wear on their heads but for what they have in their head !!

Flavour of the month?

It irritates me as much as it hurts me when I see people moving on with life oh-so-quickly with a snap of a finger.

Its like people are like flavours and they just keep changing the flavour. Kal koi aur thi… aaj koi aur… kal koi aur hogi..Using one to get over the other….

So who is the flavour of the month??

I hate it…it sucks !!

Time pass on weekend

Spending the weekend alone at home can be oh-so-boring. But then, thats me !!

Here is my take on how to kill your boredom with another doze of boring stuff.

I am thinking- of seriously running away abroad. Thats an irony as I would hate to settle abroad. But I guess I just want to be where nobody knows me :-)

I said- lots of words and many more are yet to be spoken. Do people understand whats been spoken, leave alone the ones that are left unsaid?

I want- all broken promises to be met, all pending gifts to be given and all unspoken words to be said and above all, everyone to remain happy.
