Simplify: the mantra for happiness

The modern man is a confused man. He has complicated life. He has started to love things and use people. He is chasing a life of luxury that only makes him more miserable.

There are stories of successful young people who are full of potential, are killing themselves...for what? What is it about these people that they who have achieved somuch in so little time, have actually lost interest in living!

Why? Probably because we chased a wrong life! A life where we only learn to achieve but forget to cherish that achievement. A life where we are only rats in a rat race, we win or lose, we remain a rat....

To become humans again, I feel we must embrace minimalism and hold it tightly as if our lives depended on it. We must learn to enjoy the little things in life and relish the things we have.

Many years back, someone wise had told me, if you want a bigger car, there are two ways to get it...either you can abuse your destiny that life has been unfair to you giving a small car, or you can be grateful for the small car and pray to the lord for a bigger one.

The choices to simplify lives is what matters...I hope we are wise enough to choose it

Amen!

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!
