“Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone…”
The
second line IS true, but the first line? I doubt it. Our modern living has ripped life off of its
mystery. We have become scared
creatures that without a plan we become dumbstruck. We play it safe, but by
playing it safe most times we are not in the game!
Seeing
the poster of an upcoming movie “…to a theater near you” on a wall by accident
made me feel like winning a lottery. Now it’s a different story. You can choose
not just the movie you wanna watch, but also the time, the seat and even the snack
during the interval. All you have to do is show up! What’s the fun in that? How are you gonna
spot your school mate or some long lost friend in the crowd when you stand in
line to get your popcorn? How are you gonna feel good about yourself by looking
at those who cut the line when you are there respecting the one standing ahead
of you?
Taking chances, facing the unknown and the
quickness to re-grow from something unpleasant….Are we brave enough for those? I
am still learning to let go of my fears... fear of sitting next to two complete
strangers, of standing in line where I have only few minutes to decide what I
want before I make the one standing behind me give me looks of anger that says
“oh come on get the hell out here before I break your neck!”, of the chances of
missing the scenes, of falling down while climbing up in dark when getting back
to my seat.
It is machine versus
man and the machine wins over every time! It’s not easy for us to stop using
the machines. But we can follow our heart once in a while and walk towards the
tunnel.
