Eclipse

My sun is covered with my quest for the truth, i now realise that the truth is hidden in the darkest of places, not knowing how it got there, but the reward of finding it, is sunshine...

Why people do what they do...

As i listen to trouble by coldplay, i seriously start thinking about a life without one. Marvellous is what it would be termed as, but since no one has the pleasure of leading a marvellous life, i start thinking about how someone would figure out the definition of a perfect life, it might be a day long but it has to be perfect, and it would be a fairytale ending. "happily ever after" would be carved on one's tombstone. Tombstone here could represent anything which is everlasting or which goes on and on as a legacy.

This post comes only a few days after the world was shocked by an act of madness, he was crazy to be shooting all of those people in that hall, it depresses me to even term myself human, after the massacre at Virginia Tech. We as humans are capable of doing such amazing as well as such horrible things, that makes me wonder if there was a supreme power or just evolution, if we have evolved into a stage where we can make our decisions which may affect the lives of others, do we have that power?? do we possess the necessary intelligence to be living in this world of oppurtunities and mishaps?? maybe.
The world here on the internet is so connected and as if everyone was working together here, maybe that is what is missing, the sense of belonging and the sense of terming us as a community more than terming us as individuals, maybe that would bring about a change in how the world is progressing today.

Some things have happened in the past that i regret now, but i don't regret the circumstances that i was in, probably if i wasn't in that place at that time, i probably wouldn't know how to react if i faced it again at some point of time in the future, i forgive easily but i do not forget, because i believe that circumstances and situations make people do what they do, of course leaving aside the maniacs on a killing spree. When someone abuses or reacts, its denial. Anger, distress and anxiety are all expressions of weakness according to Freud, if it was so, then every human being is weak in one sense or another, no one is perfect. Blink decisions help us to make most of our changes, numerous calculations and amazing pros and cons are discussed in that fifth of a second in which we make our move. The perception of good and bad comes with the inclusion of the past and the teachings, if we learnt well, we live well.

Circumstances are the only way we learn and the only way we regret or forget, the past is so important in our present lives that we don't stop to think once about why, how and what happened.

If there is a God
I know he likes to rock
He likes his loud guitars
His spiders from mars


Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind
Cause I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home
