It is probably the idle mind, it is probably the devil.


There are virtues and there are vices and there are other things that you can get away with. Are virtues really virtues? Are vices really vices? Am I Nuts? Maybe…

Live your life with passion, they say , but not so much that you forget your material commitments. Live your life with devotion, they say, even if it means accepting things that you don’t agree or understand. Live without fear, live with gay abandon,live and be modest about it. Love one and all, love unconditionally, as long as the boundaries are not breached...

Do ‘good’; Selflessness is good, courage is good, dedication is good, sincerity is good, grammar is good revenge is good. No? ok not revenge then; or was your problem with grammar? 

Apparently, Everything happens for the good, but can’t happen according to your wish. Life doesn’t work like that. Don’t be selfish, think about others. Think about others who get it their way when you let go. It is a small price to pay for their happiness. Aren’t they happy? In their happiness, lies yours. There is a soul, there is conscience. There is god. In the end everyone gets their just desserts.

Life is overrated. There was never an alternative. Intelligence is overrated. Lies, More lies, more and more lies, arguments and counter arguments, who is to judge. You are corrupt only if you are caught. In general, I shall judge you for this, vilify you for that, string you up for this other thing, but glorify you later, for the same, after you die. Why? Mortgage.

Adhere to society, don’t step out. Complain about the herd, but not too loudly, the foxes await in sheep’s clothing. Interpolate faiths, extrapolate practices. Apply logic and reason, transcribe old superstitions.  Think, rationalize, Induce, instigate, rule, justify, moralize, patronize, neutralize.

All the rats are running to the sea. All the rats end up in the sea. But that is fatalistic; a destructive thought and a bad thought process. Constructive ones are those that involve stopping for breath, admiring, taking in the world around you, living in the present and running around trees; only to find others have left you far behind. 

Run, Just a little more, a few more steps,for all to change. Run, just a little more, only to find it all the same.



No. Not any more. change.

Write, sing, dance, laugh, play, live, lose, regret,cry, ache, pull yourself up again,take a deep breath, control your emotions, curb urges, calm them nerves, and feel at peace; enlightened, zen. There is nothing wrong with defeat,nothing wrong with death. You don't need to pray to keep them at bay nor do you need to fear the judgement day. It is going to happen on an another day if not today. 

Live with your convictions, your morals and only for yourself, even if it is wrong. The truth is there is really no 'right' or 'wrong'. Just a set of good arguments and a set of bad ones...
