Mother earth, considered to be the most amazing creation of God, is unique from other planets in the solar system. Not because it is round or has one sun, but because it has the most beautiful thing on it. Life. Life, the supreme power that drives each and every body, be it in air, water or under the earth. Life has many facets. Beautiful and ugly both. But as compared to beautiful faces, dark and ugly aspects are more in life.
Life is nothing but an excuse for us to be alive for nothing. We suffer, we torture ourselves and others. We try to be what others want to be. We try to live life their way. We never live our real lives. Others want to see us as they want themselves to be. This way, we live for others and never for ourselves. What is the need of a life which can not be lived for us? We can not behave in the way we want to. We can not talk in a way we want to. We have to imitate and follow others. And this does not happen suddenly. This is a gradual change which starts from the childhood of a person.
Our parents start moulding us into their pots. They want us to follow their footsteps. They want us to behave in a certain manner which can please them and others. We are not allowed to cry as it will leave a bad impression on others. We are not allowed to speak our minds out as it might hurt others. We are not allowed to do things our way as we might fall onto a wrong path. What is all this? Suppression of human mind leads to making of a volcano. And when this volcano erupts, it damages everything that comes in its way. Why then should we allow a beautiful flower to be converted into a volcano?
From our childhood only, we start getting used to all the tortures of life. And when we reach adolescence, we get so used to all this that even we, ourselves become a part of all the crap. We also start guiding our children. We try to turn them into idols and superstars. We become a reflection of our parents who we used to hate when they guided us. We become a robot, machinery which has human body but computerized behavior.
After reaching a certain age, we behave in a way that can be considered as pre-planned and pre-programmed. We follow a certain routine which does not have any charm or flexibility. We do not tend to change the routine and thus the programming happens. Our brains stores all the possibilities of breaking that routine but never lets them out. We therefore, develop a tendency to never leave the path on which we are moving. The will-power to catch another road dies with time. The possibility of being our real self diminishes with time. This robotic behavior damages our tendency to discover new things and the tendency to be happy.
