Why are we so selfish in life?
Why are we so hard-wired to be this way? We chase after things to satiate our
wants, go to any extent to seize it and when we are unable to consume it we
call life unfair. And yes life is hell not fair. Even if you run behind it
really hard, try to make things right, try your best, life will never assure
you that it will pay you back or that it will reward you back. There is no
right or wrong. There is nothing fair and unfair in reality. Its all in your
head. It exists so that it can fool you into doing things that are assumed
right or fair. But there exists none. Life and its nature are just raw. It will
stab you whenever it feels like, with or without any reason without owing you
any explanation. I believed in things like Karma…do the right thing and the one
day you’ll reap your reward. All wrong. It is just registering my head as I
exercise upon this lesson learning it the hard way. Well. There are no such
things. Its crude and will hit you the way it wants. You have to be a sponge ball.
Accept it all as its come your way even if you have done none wrong. Facts only
have a small place in your life. Its all your perception that drives you, They
are your best friend, your mentor in life that stands to defend your rationale,
your decision and rides your actions and they become your enemy when they
belong to someone else; perhaps of a loved one or not, that stand in your way
to challenge your own and stall you “protocol” of life. Such funny is the way
of life.
The best is when nature would
slyly smile at you when it sees you fall, Particularly when you surrender to
your emotions. Heh. Emotions. Yet another evil in disguise. It is like a toxic
shot of neat vodka. Takes you high upon a cloud and the next minute pushes you off
it and you land with a thump. A really hard thump. And there are some fools
who pay a heavy price for it. Emotional attachments are wicked and are
really expensive to afford. Another life lesson being learnt the hard way. Don’t
keep them if you can’t afford to hold them. Leaves you bankrupt of
cheerfulness. And these are just emotion to say, not facts. No certification of
‘a statement of truth’ on them. Such is their control on us. We let them happen
to us. And the never-ending internal conflict that how could we let it happen
to us. Heh. Such are the realities of our lives. Our own emotions become our
enemies. They rule us and consume us. Bad things happen. But what should I fear
more? Those bad things or what I become into when I confront those bad things?
