Choices
I say its the lack of choices which rules the way you lead your life.
When ever there is a possibility to choose between two alternatives you can be rest assured that the result is due to the choice but if you had no choice you have nothing to look back upon and ponder over what went right or wrong.
For example if you like a girl and you decide to ask her out and have a torrid relationship you know its because you asked that girl out.
Now consider a case where you had no choice like you got fired from your job and you joined the college where you got admission there is no possibility of any choice there and now you are stuck in the recession and dont get a job . you have no choice to trace back to . you were not given an option of not getting screwed.
If choices were everything then probability would be the most important only subject o0f consequence but due to the lack of choices the science of probability has taken into an art form.
Choose wisely when you have an option ,for most part you are destined to get screwed any ways.

It
It’s odd, very odd. Is it irony I feel right now or is it clemency. Is it the way I am supposed to feel or is it actually the way I feel? Am I confused are my apprehensions confounded or are the as baseless as my wandering thoughts. Is it not supposed to be the way it is. Or is it just the opposite. Is it an illustration of self or is it an expression of self. Am I indulging in self loathing or is it self pity. May be it is self discovery, but I know not what I have set out to discover. Does every quest lead to discovery or can a discovery be made without intending it, am I who I am or am I pretending to be someone else. If I were not my self then who would I be, what I would be. I would not be the way I am right now. But if I were the way I am then I would be myself. If I was already myself then what is it that I ought to be, If I aint what I ought to be am I at least what I want to be. If being is equivalent to living am I living , But if I were living why is it that life has no meaning, Or is there some hidden meaning I am unable to get for I am too dumb but if I were dumb would not know that I am unable to decipher a hidden meaning, May be life has no meaning , its just smart peoples way of giving them selves some importance , if we revel in self importance then why aren’t all people selfish , if all people are selfish then why do we live in a society . They say man is a social animal. If we were social then all of us should think of the greater good. But what is greater good isn’t it a cognitive thought or is it a singular thought which over powers other peoples thoughts if that is the case than one human is superior to another, if a there is a difference in the levels of human beings then why is their a cry for equality. May be it is the way a lower level human tries to equate the playing field. But if he were indeed a lower level human being then he would not be able to get the thought of equality. May be humans can live at different levels of intelligence and consciousness at various times , just like an electron which goes to a higher state when excited and drops to a lower level when it looses its energy. But if people changed their levels of being then no person could be called as intelligent. It’s ironic to call a person smart, as you are commenting on his state of being and not his existence. So we can deduce that other humans attribute prevailing characteristics to build your social outlook, but if two human beings of a higher level of being were to be observed by a common group of individuals then would they both be considered to be intelligent. May be they would but if they are not then it means that the common group of observers are not in a higher stat of being and are not able to decipher that the person being observed is in a higher state. Alas what is my point you may ask, well my point is that there is no point, if there were a point may be a smart person could understand it, but if a person is not smart he may not be able to understand but act as if he did so as to maintain his veil of equality. Consider the case when what I write actually does not make sense but a smart person makes some sense out of it and a dumb person makes some other interpretation. Hence what a person says or does is temporary it is all transitional, every feeling every emotion all of it is transitional; it is just a way to keep your mind occupied so that you do not get bored. So the next time you miss a person or feel that you are over burdened by work or feel sad or angry , let the emotion control you let it define you for that moment but do not try to hold on to it once it passes. let your self be your self do not try to define what it is just enjoy it the way it is.
