The buzzwords of today's world are 'Rat Race'. Each one of us is tirelessly engrossed in the hard task of 'Meeting the Target'. But many a times, in the pursuit of the Goal, the Goal itself becomes bleak. Rather, we lose our Focus, in the never-ending quest of achieving the Best. We continuously endeavor towards getting 'Something' (even we are not aware of exactly what that can be) that should be more rewarding, as compared to what others are getting.
The endless rat race, somewhere down the line, separates our true selves from us, leaving behind a Human-Robot. This mechanical human-robot is programmed just for a single task. 'Run'!! Without even stopping to see when and where that race is going to end!
Nowadays, we have lost the right to stop for taking a heart-full of fragrance of our favorite flower. We cannot even stop to take a look at the little toddler playing in the park. We have no time to lie down on our cozy couch and get lulled in a deep sleep, caring the least for this world...
We have lost the habit of spending time to appreciate 'The Beautiful' around us. We are no more interested in giving hours, humming the tunes we love and penning our heart out. We have forgotten when was the last time we had actually enjoyed our meal, savoring every bite of it. Also gone are the days when one would spend the entire day, doing nothing, but thinking of the beloved. The significance of mother's soft touch on our hair, sister's naughty pokes on our belly, friend's usual crap advices have ceased to dwell in our thoughts. The world has entered a robotic era, clouding the softer side of every individual.
As intelligent beings, we should ponder on this very fact. Where do all these lead to? Doesn't it indicate to a future consisting of Mechanical Beings who are devoid of feelings, incapable of considering anything on the lines of emotion, perhaps compelled to run towards the 'Target' only, without even knowing what it is?
I think it is high time to work on ways to control this blind race, and find solutions to bring a balance to our lives! Best wishes for your efforts towards this ;) ...............
