It Is a New Decade
American beauty is one of my favorite movies. It is a story of an extreme case of a mid life crisis. I am sure many have felt the way Kevin Spacy was feeling in the movie at some stage in their life. I am now at the point that I feel my life is turning into a series of predictable routines. I haven't, however, quiet reached at the stage where I smoke pot, work at McDonoald, and, listen to Pink Floyd although I think Pink Floyd rocks;-)
For most of us, what dictates our existence is the pursuit to acquire more and more material wealth. The idea of measuring the quality of life based on the amount of wealth we manage to acquire, has been engraved in our conciseness. Most of us do not even question such a tenuous notion. What is the wisdom of working 8 to 5 until half of my teeth fall off? Energy, that could have been, wasted on a cause without purpose. Is it to own a 1400 square feet shack at some obscure corner of the world that will only prevent me from venturing out and experiencing life? Perhaps, I am one of the billions of people who live to facilitate such a life for others higher up on the wealth echelon
I should start taking a risk. I should start believing in the power that I would be able to survive anywhere anytime. This is where perhaps lessons learned in school and life should come in handy. Such lessons should not be used to enslave myself. They should be tools used to facilitate even more dreams and happiness.
Happy Birthday To me!
Shut up . I am still youngJ
