?????
As i travelled towards home, i realise that life could be surmised as a bus journey. I have not chosen the bus, nor the fellow travellers, nor the road. i am just destined to travel. even were i to chose another route, the road would not be mine. even if i were to carve out the road, the land would not be mine. my destiny is just to travel. probably the destiny is also not chosen by me. Then i could as well refuse to travel. but is that a real choice?

if you refuse to travel, then what is your life?
then what is my life???? i wonder why it should be any different...if i travel or if i dont...isnt it the same ( not that i am into relativity :))
why would you refuse to travel in the first place
huh! if you dont travel then you are stagnant, where is development? whats the point in life them if you are standing on the same place without moving anywhere?
lena, indeed....being stagnant is frightening......but it isnt as bad as people would want us to belive....and anyways what does being stagnant mean anyway...we just live right?
hey.. gud 1..
bt i dont understand 1 thing.. why would u refuse to travel?
whtevr may b the journey, a good traveller is one who doesnt have a plan and just goes on. i think tht applies for life too. i believe tht life can bring up many surprises ahead of us. it's us who must learn to get surprised and grow with it.
it's life, friend. and so, u live.
tht s jst my view!
@hufeza and @matangi -
if u follow closely my post, i am not only amazed by the beauty of life and its uncertanities but also i am lamenting at the fact that, i have lost the free will to chose my life!!!
the route is not chosen by me. the bus is not chosen by me. probably even the destination is not chosen by me. that is too stiffling for me. wonder how much life would be more beautiful, if we could chose when and to whom we ae born, who will be the fellow travellers, who will be the driver.....probaly i might lose some excitement....but it would be intrinisically and wholly my trip!!!
so true !!
quite a thought provoking post. :)
made me thinking that nothing is of our own and hardly anything happens according to our wish and the way we want.
i dont get it!!!
we do choose the bus, the route and our fellow travellers.. these choices are not made by others but by us thts when we travel..
if others make the choices for us its then that we are not travellin.
i dunno abt the land not being mine BUT everything else is.. ain't it so??
@my inner world - thanks
@huzhscene - honestly, i dont know how to explain it. so i am just trying.....
a) u have not chosen the bus, the choice of the destination choses the bus for u...so is the bus and the fellow traveller...
b) but did u actually chose the destination - no u didnt. the circumstances has chosen the destiny for u. for example it may be ur friends birthday for which u want to go to his house. so ur friends birthday is one that choses the destination for u. but who chose the friend for u? not u? who chose to be urself in the first place? who chose to live a life in the first place? ohhh me...these are the times when i realise how inadequate the language is.....because i am not sure i am conveying what i want to.....please do get back to me, if i am not clear....i will try to come up with better explanation
okk.. so u're sayin tht given a choice a REAL choice u would rather not be born on earth?? coz as i undrstnd of wht u're tryin to say is tht being born itself is not ur choice..
see i told u its tough for me to explain that...its like when i say a girl - i love u and she asks why. what can i answer her - she is beautiful. then it would be construed as lust. that she has a nice character. then it would be construed that i am looking for a bride. that she has a nice smile. then it would be construed as ...i dont know what.....but that is not love. it comprises of everything but still that is not love. so when i wrote the post, in the simplest words possible i am conveying something....but when i explain it, i am conveying something else. for example, yes it can be construed that birth is not our choice, but it does not mean, i dont want to be born. i am seeking more free will. i am seeking more independence. i am seeking more life. and sadly, that is not available. just try to list down one single thing that u would like to do, independendly and that u could actually do, without being influenced by society........
Amen!!
p.s. keep writing.. it was interesting to read. :)
smiles :)
PS: even for the jai hind i was wearing the same smile
well actly tht was my first reaction.. then i read ur reply agn thn my reaction was Amen..
well nw i thnk i've spamed ur comment box :D
probably u r not going where one wants to but see it from another point of view.here is my philosophy.although not much of a philosopher.look at each new unexpected turn as a surprise gift and how do u react to a gift.u are happy and take it layer by layer and then probably the road u travel will be more interesting rather than stopping totally..or atleast thats how i think..
cheers
