Escapist at Heart

“Tommorow is a mystery, yesterday is history, today is a gift or some shit”

“Chal daa , am fuckin bored today lets go to a pub and have some fun” calls up my friend on a weekend.

“Life has become wholesale shit market daa .. fuck….managers, customers , deadlines ,nonsense females , life is totally fucked up .. I wanna booze now …chal “ says another.

What happened to all the fundas we listen , read day in day out on radio, tv, internet that boozing is bad for health, try to live in the present, today is a gift etc etc…don’t we know all these shit .. but still why do we turn deaf ears to all these and keep doing the same old stuff??

This is because all of us are escapist at heart. We live in our own fantasy world or want to live in a dream.we want to escape from all our problems and be happy, serene, satisfied. We go to movies and relax ourselves for 2 hours, go on a vacation, booze.. Am not advocating that all these are wrong but just illustrating plain facts.

We spend all our day thinking about the future and forget the present. We want our life to be as smooth as possible. As smooth as a black label whisky :)
When we are hit with a roadblock in any problem we just don’t wanna face it, instead go behind all these stuffs that make u relaxed, feel happy. But the fact is that these are just temporary doses of enjoyment, once ur body is immunized to these pleasures it requires more dosage to make u feel excited. So these pleasures eventually become habits and then turn into addiction.
Once ur addicted to the “so called “ pleasures.. these dictates terms and u loose urself, screw up ur life all together.

These are not our faults but it’s in our genes to escape from problems, even the religions talk about past life, next life etc. which is a extrapolation of the escapist attitude in us. Because we think the next life is going to be exciting we forget to live our present life.

Just remember that we have just ONE LIFE, only one. u accept it or not… u just have one.instead of cribbing about the problems and trying to escape from it . start facing the problems head on.

U know.. Facing problems are fun, its like a little inertia we have in us before we jump into the swimming pool, if u come out of it and jump in, its fun. :)

Fixing problems and taking the responsibilities are more exciting then we think . Remember the most exciting and satisfying moments of ur life.. Am sure almost 95% of it would be the ones in which u have worked hard, solved something difficult.

The more consious we are, the more happy we are.. the more happy we are ,the more happy are our loved ones.

So lets throw away this escapist from our heart, become a realist and njoy this small but precious gift called LIFE……….
