Choices.....
So its one of those usual Sundays where I am sitting around doing nothing, allegedly lost in in thought. It's one of those 'thoughts' that many people my age lose themselves in. Some people manage to find their way out of course ,while some unfortunate people lose their way and remain in an abyss of the mind's imagination forever. So where am I going really? Its a tricky question. Unlike Doug Adams' classic "Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" that says the answer to the question "What is the meaning of life and all things in this Universe?" is 42 , my answers seem far more twisted and nebulous. This is the kind of question, everyone must ask themselves atleast once in their lives. No! Life is not meant to be a bed of roses , where all answers are laid out , the path ahead visibly clear (like a roadmap) and all that is left is for us to complete our walk through it. I always believed that the quest for these answers is what makes life beautiful. This question forces us to think, make choices, debate furiously, take the hardest decisions, break a few hearts and discover ourselves along the way. Its like the way someone put it ever so succintly "In the end...its the life in your years that counts and not the years in your life".
Why do we all reach such a stage? The answer is simple....It's always our mind and our thoughts that exert the maximum control on our actions. At some point in time, we do reach a stage due to circumstance where we ask ourselves questions. The answers are out there, but we take time in picking the so called right answer. This is entirely a function of the kind of person we are. There are no fixed answers to questions. The choices we make today, would definitely play a part in who we are tomorrow. But then as people keep insisting on making the 'right choices' , you never really know how right a choice is, unless you make it. Good or bad...consequences...it's still a learning experience. It still defines who the person is. If everyone everytime when confronted with situations, made all the so called 'right' choices at the same time, then the world wouldnt be as beautiful as it is today. We'd have a boring world, boring people, where everything was always right. A fundamental principle to this theory is that what's right for you..maybe wrong for the other person, or to put it in a far more lucid style, what works for one person may not work for the other.
I hope in the process of making and living by these choices , we discover ourselves

interesting, sometimes I feel that idle mind is a devil's workshop, in this case can be devilish or no depending on the person
Everyday, a thousand times (sometimes more), we are required to choose between being honest with ourselves, or not. Noones keeping score, believe me. Except your conscience, which may or may not be flexible/rigid.
