Blindfolded Life

For a long time now, there has been an infortune trend of believing in mediocre brutality that worked under the sheets of discomfort and faith. Democracy. Statesmanship. Nationality. Countries running blindsided with the facts that tend to balance the ecliptically self-destructing world. We see the side of the coin which is comforting to watch - what we desire. As soon as we are met with the ugly, insensitive truth behind the deeds done dirty, we start to live in a state of denial which only results in political cover-up, religious slingshots and a number of hefty words to make it sound better. You are a child. You are new to this world. You grow up listening, observing, learning and adapting to your surroundings. Act as is required. Think what is necessary. Hope that you fit in. It begins with people around you letting you know that they are afraid of something and make you believe in ghosts; when in reality you create your own demons, without k...

What is freedom? Is it when you are bound to no one; or is it when the only voice you want to hear is your heart's. Is it when you follow your dreams, having no responsibilities or is it when you are tied up altogether? Illusions are what we make for ourselves. Sometimes, just to feel safe; feel better.

There are many physical laws written, to convey the basic nature of freedom that you are given - May it be speech, living, or state. I consider these as rather material and useless unless one is free of his own mind. You might have heard that true happiness comes from within. This s...

It never was about behavior. Since childhood there has been an ignored controversy confusing, growing and living within every society. Maturity has often been confused with many irrational concepts, which has been carved into by hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is just another piece to a bigger puzzle, that shaped the present concept of maturity. It is not all bad and extreme as I have illustrated it to be. There are many psychological aspects to this concept of maturity too. Then, how should we predict a person to be mature? How is it that we decide if we are or we have been acting in a matured fashion, as they call it? The answer is something you possess the power to take - decisions. You might have heard people rant about the wrong decisions that they might have taken in their lives. Basically it is the right choices that you make, given the situations you were in when you took that particular decision. It makes you who you are, which might or might not be t...
