The following thoughts have been inspired by one of the greatest philosophers I have ever known, Osho and George Carlin. I wouldn’t call this piece of writing as an original one because it’s the thought that matters and it’s just that I have understood a few things and decided to share it with all of you. The content might offend you because that’s how people usually react to the truth, so if you don’t like it at any point, stop reading it)
'every step in life is a lesson', yes, it is bumper sticker stuff but as far as I have come in life I have learnt that it surely does depend on how much you pay attention to life, how much you grasp and will you pass the never ending tests that life throws at you. What I’ve learnt is that the syllabus is not too much but just a little rebelling on the bases of what society has decided as to what truth is.
we all go through a lot of emotions every day, meet new people, go through new experiences and so on... but surprisingly, we have managed to drop out on our natural behaviour and accepted what our 'moral society' has decided for us. In the recent past I had a few emotional speed breakers in my life and yes I’m talking about a girl here. The problem with us was that she wanted a relationship and I wanted friendship at the end of what we had been through, which were some really beautiful moments together. This has happened to me before that I freaked out on the very utterance of the word relationship. Yes I was scared to commit, I don’t know why, I told her that I don’t trust myself but the reason was completely different.
We as a part of a society have accepted the very fact of making love a law (marriage) rather than understanding that love is the law and it will stay as the law. The whole idea of telling people and announcing is so ridiculous that now we need to remind not just others but our partners too that terming it however you want to term a relationship doesn't make it that way. If two people do have a connection which is bound to grow then it is very obvious for it to grow regardless of how you name it and when you name it. in our case, there was something and we felt it and we both agree that it was beautiful and to me there is nothing more that matters but probably in her case she did not trust me enough because I was not ready to fall in a pit made by them... that I had to 'ensure' our very being together by calling it something that it already was. We also need to understand that a human brain is neither designed for monotony nor monogamy.
One of the biggest teenage taboos existing in India at least is the fact that one should stick to one partner no matter what. This, ladies and gentlemen, is unnatural in every sense. Humans were never designed to fall for just one partner and stay with them for the rest of our lives. I know you might be thinking that what the fuck am I talking about, but we have forgotten that when we as humans had to start off the whole idea of taking responsibility of one person not until man decided to draw borders and call it as 'his' land and started working. it was only then that he started thinking and deciding for himself, what is good for him and what is bad for him, exactly like deciding his religion and actually believing that there is only one god and that was his and the rest of the gods and religions which say pretty much the same thing are to be hated, it is only then when he actually decided to kill others in the name of god, was the time when he decided that it is only one partner that he is suppose to live with and that he had an upper hand on women.
I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing to love one person throughout our life... if you do, it is perfectly fine , all I am saying is that I look at it as a very retarded behaviour and that the person who can do that has probably very little sense of creativity and adventure in his life. Love a person as much as you can , may it be for a week, a month, a year or a decade but when you know that the feeling inside has diminished, have the balls to go and say it. Be human for once and when you bid your lover a farewell, do it with grace and respect, because you loved him/her once and be grateful for all those memories (and move on).
