Simple Logic

Isn’t it funny how times change; how life seems to have come to a standstill where you find yourself ready to take charge of things, ready to be on your own and by your own, yet so bound and helpless?

My code of ethics do not allow me to shirk my responsibilities and start looking for excuses or reasons to blame others and what we call as “circumstantial consequence”; it forces me to think how could I have handled the situation better, how could I have averted what happened? How can I make the best of what I have right now? Is it not true, that there are forces of nature and courses of action which are beyond your control, and they become so strong a force that they tend to interfere with your surroundings and your peaceful space and might just leave it all ruffled and messed up?

If that is, then how does one handle that? Yet not blaming others and the so called circumstances. I would love to have those moments back when all I could see around me was happiness and hear laughter. Wishful thinking some would say, but is that out of bounds? Is it not achievable? I hate to be where I am right now, worrying about things that I never knew existed in my surroundings, and yet here I am thinking about those very things which were always taken care of since time immemorial. There are far much graver issues that I could probably invest my energies on but here I am, stuck in a whirlpool of logistics and basics of existence: Man is a social animal, it needs to socialize.

Is simplicity such an expensive thing to afford these days? Is being what you are, become a punishment? Or have I stopped somewhere in time and the rest of the world has moved on. Is standing up for what you believe in, a crime these days? Is living moralistically and ethically a mere mockery? Am I missing something?
