Things just got me thinking (dated: 30th Dec 2011)
When I talk, i sound like a bitch, even to myself. But I don't know how much longer of this i can take. My thoughts don't belong to the 19th century neither to today. I read people's words, hear them speak, see their actions and think to myself, is this necessary?? But again wonder, am I being too judgemental and righteous??
This is not the world I wish to live in. Sometimes I think, you can live your life and I shall live mine, but how long can I pretend, how long can I ignore. I am not able to keep pace with the changing time, the changing norms of society. I was always slow, and here I am, unable to change my thoughts, unable to move from the principles I was brought up in. But honestly, I don't know if those who are changing are the ones who are vain or is it those of us who are holding back to olden days?
But the truth is, though science is developing and technology is evolving, we humans are definitely going back to our barbarian days.
I hope against hope that it is true that the world is ending soon.
After thinking so much about the changes taking place, and how disheartening it is to see the growing disobedience, lack of culture and mannerisms, I suddenly remembered something learned in school. Now I don't know which text it was, and I don't remember the lines as well. All I remember is what is expressed,"if the world is made of thorns, you can't cover the whole world with a carpet, its wiser instead to put on shoes". Now I can't change the world, all i can do is take care of myself instead.
