We build our own world

Its a oft quoted proverb "Man is the master of his own destiny". I always believed this proverb to be the key to all successes. Once when my mom visited an astrologer, he said. " This boy will create his own destiny. If he chooses to self destruct, he will. If he sets out to achieve what he wants, he will. in both cases, nobody can stop him, except he himself."

The more days I live, the more I realize the value of this proverb. It can't be all fate, can it? That would make life damn lame dont you think? I think most of i is decided by us. We decide, and if there is a God, he just agrees or disagrees...but if the endeavour is right, most of the times, he is quite understanding I think.

Mistakes

Mistakes are very common. We commit numerous mistakes everyday. Sometimes we learn from them and sometimes...well we just dont get a chance to learn.

The important thing to infer from the above line is that mistakes are possible. No matter how fatal the consequence of it may be, it is possible that we commit a mistake.  So why the big deal about getting worked up about everything when mistakes are so normal. So sometimes, it is also advisable we take a step back and realize that not everyone is always at fault. Maybe there is a reason behind a person's mistake. Maybe we could have committed the same mistake had we not been lucky. Maybe that ought to help us go easy on a person at fault and help the person recover from the mistake instead.

I think it is time we stopped looking at life and reflecting on the mistakes and instead start believing that mistakes are possible and well...we got to live with them.

Memories & Questions

Its amazingly soothing when you gaze at rain. It brings back memories. Everytime. Sometimes, a question arises, if only we could go back in time. But just like the rain, memories are beautiful and soothing but gets lost as soon as you realize the parched reality.

I have been plagued by thoughts which I dont have answers to. Sometimes, maybe answers are not what I am looking for. Maybe its the questions. I am looking for questions that has never been asked. We always look for a way out, a solution. Maybe we should start living our questions and let the answers take care of itself. If the answers are inevitable, then we shouldn't really worry about it. I want to just live my questions and maybe when its time, i will have my answers.

For now, I just want to watch the miracle drops tap dancing on my window pane and relax my mind and take me back in time to the memories I want to relive and cant and ponder why I cant. There is a pleasure in being able to be in our memories secretly, already knowing the consequence. Maybe we can actually go back...or maybe its just a memory.

Committing the same mistake all over again

Has it ever occured to anyone that sometimes most of us repeat our mistakes even though we are aware that they are mistakes. Maybe all mistakes are not stepping stones to success. Maybe we want to commit these mistakes because we dont want to learn from them. Knowing fully well how exactly things pan out, we still go ahead with our pursuit to do what we feel is right and know is wrong.

Delving deeper into the context I can also suggest that maybe it is to relive the previous mistake that we go over the experience again. Can someone actually be nostalgic about mistakes? I guess yes although it does stretch the borders of nostalgia. Well, at the end of the day...memories maybe good or bad, but they are memories after all and nobody can question the incessant desire to go back in time and experience the memory all over again. For bad memories or mistakes, maybe its just an attempt to fix the wrongs. We all know how that works out.

Life as we know it...

Well Life is more or less about things lost and found. Its the constant search for something lost that defines our very existence. It can be anything...love, friends, childhood etc.
There are times when I feel that it would have been much wiser for us to just live for the moment but as we all know, that is clearly not the case.
So where do we go from here...do we find what we have lost in the end? Or is it just a unfulfilled journey?
*thinking*
Well, I dont know yet...oh well...back to living in the present for now! ;)
