Cloudy Reason Blurry Vision

Finding ourselves trapped again inside our homes for what seems like the gazillionth covid wave, everything about us has changed.

Most decisions now are not based on “historical data”, simply put what things seemed like in the past. Because it was an unrelated past. Only two years apart, but it feels like we lived in a different world altogether. Nowadays, more than ever, our eyes are glued to the screen, managing to be lifted from the monitors only to be landed on the phones. Everything outside the screens is blurry. Our specs don’t help either. Contemplation happens in fits and starts. “What am I doing? Why am I doing?” these questions resonate with materialistic answers, but the larger purpose in life is diminishing. Over the past couple of years, we have shifted our life gears from the “living” to “survival”, and now to “YOLO”. This time, the situation — everything was uncalled for.

But, to give in to the situation is to make so little of it. In the tech-lad world, we have started to treat our lives as if we are part of some simulation. We just accept what’s happening, and go through it. Perhaps, it was meant to make you grow through it. Everything that happens has a beautiful reason behind it. The incidents are not a random series of events happening to kill time. They are here to shape your life. Your life is so unique not just out of some randomness. Nobody before or after will live your life.

So, if only we managed to pull ourselves out of the chaotically busy lives of ours and put ourselves together to see where is the universe pushing me to? Maybe it’s going to throw you down the hill! Who knows? But here’s the thing, if you fail to notice — it’s meaningless, just what you thought it’d be. Otherwise, you will come to realize how pivotal this period is in your history.
