GENext

GENERATION!!what do we know about this? what is the first thing that comes to our mind when the word is uttered? GENERATION of electricity? the formation of a curve plane in geometry? or is it the succession of natural decent? well, the present generation will first think of the former 2 answers before they really get to the last one, because their minds are so narrowed down to thinking about everything form a academic perspective. If education is not all you care about you will feel claustrophobic once you enter their minds. I’m 20 now, I really don’t feel my generation still lives. It has been taken over by those little kids who are 10-15 years old, the next generation has arrived in such short time. My generation is behind.
Have you ever wondered where the present generation is heading? they say this generation is going to become one of the finest in technology and innovation. now lets forward some years from here. we will start with a very simple day to day routine say work for that is what everyone is bending their backs for. why do we work? to earn money, power and recognition? to accumulate as much money as possible and retire happily with insurance plans? Do we really work to enjoy the beauty of living and enjoy the pleasures of life? Our generation is definitely not doing it. our definition of work is a “routine”, it has become the most important criteria for life and living. How many in this generation spend as time as possible in doing what we love the most. Work has become like blood, everyone has it, you will die if you don’t have it. But it is this constant work that will drain the blood out of you.
Where is power and grandeur going to take us? To the ne-plus ultra of all limits? Are you really happy at the top?
We don’t follow what our instincts tell us, what the abyss of the heart has always wanted. Work all of a sudden has become the backbone of our lives.
I feel we should balance our life with work, play, family and health. what is the point working for years and one day you look back and realize you haven’t lived life. i guess this realization will come to most of us and when it comes there is no going back.
What is the difference between happiness and love, selfishness and hatred? Well ,there is a huge dichotomy. with happiness and love comes joy of life, the aim of human existence. but with selfishness and hatred life is filled with sorrow and eventually follow the path of the sparrow, the path of extinction.
When you don’t enjoy what you do, you are never happy, the happiness should come from within, it must be felt and with this happiness comes the whole purpose of living life.
So choose your path wisely. do you want to be driven by money and power? or do you want to be driven by passion?
