Having sat down and thought about what exactly I want to do in life seems well- sorted and clear in my mind. At times, I get these weird notions of ending up nowhere in this world full of oppurtunities. People running around, living on those impersonal apartments makes me wonder if I'll end up someday like that in the near future, running around, attending calls continuously, emailing hysterically, representing someone from this so and so organisation. Therefore, I'm completely lost and helpless.
What do Mom and Dad want? They want their sons and daughters to be perfect, good at sports, dance/ Music, Public Speaking, top their class and eventually end up at Citi or UN.
People of my age are already getting worked up as to what to do exactly, requirements are way too demanding, 100000 students applying for those scholarships, is life all about that itself?
One fails to take out time to spend time with his/her loved ones, then what's the point of being part of that silly robotic world where all they talk about is that share, the increase in the percentage of this stock and bla bla...
Do we want to be doing that? But it's too late because we have conditioned outselves in such a manner that we have to compete with our own capabilities (some may disagree with me as for some it's a positive thing) and break our backs to develop that skill to get that high paid job.
I completely disagree but not many people think of it in this way. I have started to console myself by accepting the fact that it is practical living in this strange, impersonal, frosty environment.
I pay respect to those people who are following what they truly enjoy and love because it requires a great deal of courage to go against the current wave.
