The root of our evil life...

Nowadays, it is hard to come by people who can write stuff spontaneously. Having references is okay. To construct ideas originally using references as a guideline may be the closest to making something good. But people plagiarise to a point of no return. I have a hard time accepting that.

The standards of creative writing nowadays has reached the very depths of total non-existence. I bet the old-school(ers) would agree to me. It is evident everywhere. Good new writers are
just a handful.

I am not saying that I really do justise when I write, but I can clearly say that I let my mind flow, never planning what I write in any way whatsoever.

I try to follow that in my day to day living as well.

The more you plan and the more you construct, there is a certain goal to achieve. And the goal becomes your ceiling. Sometimes you jump and you may touch it and sometimes you don't.

When you don't have any criterias to adhere to, the world is your canvas. You are liberated from oppression. You don't give a rat's fuck about the end result, as the journey is the point of contentment.

No, this isn't plagiarism, it's called paraphrasing...

Friend or Foe?

I have just come to realise that sometimes the best thing to do is to vomit out all my displeasures of this world and starve to death. People will always be people. Anger, lust, hostility, greed , more greed, happiness, love, compassion and all the worldly human attributes make one a slave to his/her own domain. We just become more and more desperate to gain all of these to become 'better' beings.

What if we just let all of this out of our system? Will there be any space to advance? I believe so.

I have learnt to detach myself from people. I realize that when I did so, I started understanding people and their motives at a greater level. I have come to a conclusion that no one of us can be either good, or bad. We will always have both attributes intertwined within us. If one were to claim that he/she has never done anything wrong, it is just a pretext.

I don't blame one for being a bad person, nor will I shun them away. They'd probably have a valid reason for being so. To try and understand people on why they behave in that manner isn't in our jurisdiction. We just have to learn to accept. Most of you would disagree. But we condone our loved ones ever so often, but when it is a stranger, we go all out to kill without ever seeing it from their point of view. This is human nature.

When one does something good, all the bad aspects of his/her stance is swept under the carpet. This is human nature, too.

i guess i will just kick back and relax and watch this earthly performance unfold one by one...
