Sorry for being so so so very late in posting something new here…loads were happening…so..
Anyways, why suddenly this topic??
Its that a friend and I were having quite a discussion tonight – about what man was supposed to be and what man has become. about what god intended us to be and we in the end made out of ourselves. We discussed about a lot of things, about sentiments and emotions, about relationships, about success, about winning and losing. And yet we couldn’t come to any particular solution or agreement.
We share the common view on the modern people who include me and him of course. Today, people have mostly been turned into ones who only care about winning, in any possible manner, by any possible kind of approach. They don’t think twice before asking for favors and then moving on once they get them. I mean, once the purpose from a particular person is achieved move on and never look back. All they care is about winning. Loss is something that has become exceedingly invisible from the dictionary of the modern man. Its all about working at maximum efficiency with minimum losses and minimum input. And you know what, this is what being practical has come to mean.
God created us to live our lives fully, to enjoy it to the fullest extent. But I think this enjoyment can’t ever come if we stop thinking about others. If we don’t lose a single time what is the pleasure of winning then? If someone doesn’t lose ,how will he ever experience the ecstasy of victory?
I, by nature tend to think a lot about the things that affect me in general and the world in particular. Whenever there is a single instance of mass killing, my heart bleeds out. Whenever someone around me is sad I become restless until his/her agony subsides. Why? I really don’t know. It may be due to my impractical nature…maybe. But if being practical means not even thinking twice before walking over a corpse just in order to gain the advantage in life, its well and superfine that I am impractical.
The modern man has become more of a machine, always thinking about winning while the way in which it happens is inconsequential to them. But in today’s world if you have to succeed in the conventional sense then there’s no other way than to be practical . Well for me I can’t be ever this , I am human and can’t think like the robots and machines ever in my life. I would like to be a loser of a human than a winner of a machine anytime of the day.
