I got up from my seat and screamed for no reason, “It’s
time to head back to the village.” It was one of those random outbursts I
usually have in office and my colleagues I assume are rather used to it now.
And then there was small huddle and discussions followed as to how demeaning life
seems to be these days. Everyone jumped from one topic to another and then it
was time to head home.
On my walk back home it was time for my usual long silent
walk amidst the noisy street. I kind of enjoy this walk back home. It gives my
mind ample time to observe everything around and try to make sense of why
things are the way they are. I am never able to draw any concrete conclusions
at the end of my walk and its quiet usual.
Now that I sit in silence and try to contemplate on these
two events, thoughts again seem to be clouding around. It’s pretty much the
case with most of us I believe that we wish for a completely tangentially
different life than the one we are living. A life that is simply perfect, free
of flaws. But alas the reality which might be harder than what we want to it to
be simply can’t be pushed under the carpet.
I dig my mind and I see that it’s impregnated with a little
dream. A dream of a world where people always speak their mind and the world
reciprocates with a smile. The people around might not always agree to what you
have to say, but at the same time encourage everyone to express their views. And
then I envision smiling faces all around and everyone gleefully going about
doing what they do. A world where smile is the epicentre of the universe
radiating intensives rays of joy and peace.

ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteSuch a world existed many eons ago when earth was a paradise - free from sickness, ill-health, sin and death. In time, earth will be cleansed and will be restored to its former paradise. Nice post! Thanks for sharing.
