Standing on a bridge when i looked down all i could see is vehicles, rushing towards one direction or the other. It seemed as if they were running after something, trying to leave each other behind. I wonder if this is what we call 'rat race'?
Well i don't know much about it & always failed to understand, why people are so busy? Rather what are they busy in? I have tried to seek answer but hardly anyone could define purpose behind this race. Not satisfied with those answers, all i could get is that everybody wants to win this race not realising that when we are busy in this so called rat race what all we are missing.
While struggling to beat each other we forget to enjoy what we are doing. Whether it is studies or the work we do. We do most of the things just for the sake of doing, not knowing any purpose, not caring any effect. We just want to beat others to win the race. By the time we think we have won its actually we have lost so many things on our way unadvertently, parent's birthdays, child's birth, anniversary, list can go on. To all this we have same excuse 'no time, i am busy'. Frankly it sounds funny to me, what are we gaining by losing all those precious moments we could/should have been there with our loved ones. Whats the point in being so busy when we can't even do what we enjoy doing or enjoy doing what we do?
Whats the point in being so busy that we don't even have time to live our lives with our loved one's?
Time is precious no doubt but it is always there, we all are in time. We don't have to race against it instead just being with it is enough. Being more aware of what we doing right now, prioritising our needs not wants. There is a huge difference in our wants & needs. Our wants can be endless but our needs are limited.
