When was the last time you did something just for the heck of it? Just ‘coz u wanted to? Just because it was there and you thought it would be fun doing it? Whatever it is.When was the last time you made a decision on the spur of the moment without wondering whether it would help you in securing a good placement or if it would get you into a better college or make you more attractive to the opposite sex or whatever appeals to our ever ambitious mind?Why should we always view every new venture as a potential field in our resume?Why do we insist on taking the fun out of everything? After all as Calvin would say ‘Nothing spoils fun like finding out it builds character’.
Since when has attitude become a costume to be put on and removed as and when necessary instead of being a way of life, a state of mind?Why do we bend to the dictates of society while all the while shouting slogans like ‘I live my own life’? Ya right….Isn’t the world supposed to be accepting us as we are if all those cute, preachy movies are to be believed?Isn’t the underdog always rewarded at the end and doesn’t he then live happily ever after and walk away into the sunset with his own ‘You complete me’ better half?
Why have we turned work into something sour and bitter? If we are gonna spend three quarters of our waking life doing something we might as well enjoy doing it. Or conversely do something we enjoy.Why have we ceased selecting careers based on our own aptitude and attitude and instead make a selection based on the amount it can pay, social acceptance, security blah blah?Who were those idiots who advised me 3 years back that in the longer run only the choice of the college is important and the course does not matter? Do they expect me to spend an entire life time doing something I don’t like just because it may potentially pay well? Where were my bloody brains then when I listened to those do-gooders?
Why do we lead a life of hypocrisy? We preach one thing and follow entirely another thing.Why do we try so hard to sell a near perfect, often misleading image of ourselves to the world and then go around wearing t-shirts quoting stuff like ‘I am what I am.’ Of course you are what you are. The question is do you know it.
