The problem with technology is that it inherently unreliable. And every so often, I keep forgetting that. Except that sometimes, people are unreliable too. Including you. And me.
Ever wondered why we take the emotional decisions that we do? They are just so gray. It is extremely difficult to look back and say clearly – yes, this is one decision that I do not regret, or no, I completely regret making this decision. Is it really that difficult? Should it really be that difficult?
Pressure and hopelessness brings about a variety of traits in people. Which ones did they bring out in you? Were they the ones you expected? What if they were not? Are you man enough to face the person you are, but didn’t ever think you’d be? Can you live with him? And then, do you really have a choice? Or, even if you do, are you really willing to put in what it takes to change everything?
What does one want from life?
Big talks and big plans. Showcases and storefronts. Are these real? Or just displays? Which is it? When does the illusion stop? Does it ever stop? Or is that the reality that one conveniently assumed to be the unreal?
Loose control, they say. And then, things bubble out. Can you confront them? Can you confront the true you? Why do we have to belong? Social animals and what not. Herds are here to stay. It’s the upbringing and the social context that is at fault. Or is that just an excuse?
And why ponder, really? When it can all go away in the next morning’s rising sun, mingled with the dews from the early morning rain. Especially when it can go away. Do you want it to go away?
