On the follies of living in a fool's paradise

Alot of interesting things have happened over the past few days... which has left me really amused. It has also led me to ponder about a lot of things. i read a profile of a person somewhere in which the person claimed to have learnt nothing from past experiences.... How quaint and arrogant at the same time. How can you NOT learn anything..? Not repeating the same mistakes... perhaps not succumbing to the "artificies" of the opposite sex... being patient... or not being rigid... being more vocal or less for that matter..... the list can go on and on .... of course there are lessons to be learnt ... because if you dont learn anything then you dont grow... u become stagnant ... But i guess thats the folly of us folks... we are too pompous ...too in love with ourselves to actually realise how limited we have made ourselves... we're happy in the belief that only we're right... not giving anyone the leverage to show their worth... their merit

All of us think that we're god's gift to mankind... and have the birthright to be judgemental... we think we know who is wrong.... who is evil....

it's sad and disgusting....

Of Mice & Men

I've been pretty busy writing comments on other blogs... yet am quite lazy when it comes to my own :) ... it seems tht people have gone mad seriously... in order to prove a point ... in order to prove someone is doing something wrong... u end up doing exactly the same thing... so whts the use of it all.... if u're doing the exact same thing... then u're not so different either...

To reiterate, the world has gone mad... (or is it just me) i mean... people at micro level are doing the same thing... big nations are doing... quarreling and squabbling over non-essential issues just to prove who is the strongest... while real issues are left neglected... ignored.

i dont know if i am making any sense here... but its such a tragedy... each and everyone of us thinks tht we're better than the rest... hehe if only we knew the reality.

we protest and lament about things gone wrong... but do not realise how instrumental we ourselves are in making things the way they are...

Mutability

It is a curious thing... this life that we all have and "cherish". I read Wordsworth in school and thought I completely understood what he meant when he said Child is the father of man. Perhaps I still pompously believe that i understand. But as time goes by, you become increasingly intriguided and perplexed by the complexities of life. Sometimes disilluisionment sets in.... sometimes there is hope... and this wheel goes round and round and round. Till the miles have ended and its time to go to sleep.

There are times when things appear crystal and then there are moments when you begin to question this uneasiness that is rising from the depths of your heart. What is one to do about it..? Am I still hankering on the fear of the unknown...?? Has the world really become tarnished with time... Is Time playing mean tricks?? Or is it that as we grow old, our vision that was once clear has become blurred and hazy - because of the vanity fair that surrounds us?

Perhaps i already know the answer and am not willing to open my eyes to see....
