Simple stuff
baap | 29 October 2004, 1:59pmLife....is simple. Those 3 words form the most sought after "challenge" among us ambitious humans. What i mean by simplicity is well..."simple". There's nothing more to
it..the more i try to theorize this concept, the statement becomes even more un-authentic. But lets have a go at it....recently i came upon a certain individual or rather multiple individuals who questioned other individuals on why do they complicate life so much or why do i (we/they/me) think about a certain aspect so much. True, it is
disturbing to see this cumbering process of delving into why something happens or how it happens or when will it happen or (not) happen..but i am in a dilemna as how to
answer them if i was asked the same.
On one side, its like leave it be wherever it is and continue ur existence..without bothering about it too much or by making insignificant glances into the matter. But then i would be only denying the enormous capability of Human thought! On the other hand, there are instances where there occurs so much introspection/scrutiny into the
matter that it often leads to destructive ends. When i say destructive, i mean non-constructive (obvious) but still...had to be stated explicitly.Nowadays i tend to see this rise
of NON-constructive scrutiny, speaking purely in context of fundamental thinking patterns.
Things like :
Why this happened is now extrapolated to (what if's...by making urself as the first person and simualting an environment where u are un-necessarily present in the situation
and how you would react to it)
How could this have happened? or How will it happen is again extended to (What if it happens or doesnt happen....not to you necessarily but another person...)
Im sure alot of people have gone through this phase, and there are several meanings to it:
DEPRESSION
LETHARGY
PROCRASTINATION...etc.
Basically a deliberate attempt to make one self unhappier, which eats through a person like saliva does to sugar candy. A lot of causes can be attributed to this, which brings me back to the main point SIMPLICITY. Im not talking about a simplistic way of living in the material sense but purely in the psychological sense. If a person starts transitioning towards a much more metaphysical way of thought (which is supposed to come only in times of sheer despair) often, such a person is in deep SHIT. Even worse if that person does this deliberately HE will end up in big time doo-doo to put in SIMPLY!
What is the solution to this? I ask myself too...i say its an interaction on a wider scale and ONLY on a personal level, not through crummy psuedo environments (YM! type shit)...which lends to an obligation to shift personalities from world-world. The Internet today is fast developing into a much WIDER world than the existing REAL WORLD, and makes one lose touch completely with the real world which is highly disturbing to me. So people get the fuck out and start communicating with much more efficient and articulate devices like ur mouth, hands, eyes (ears if possible :p), ooh tongue too! rather than commuinicating in a world which is ONLY attempting to copy these already freely available qualities
GO to your neighbours houses and have lunch if u have to
Talk to the Auto Driver on ur way to the bloody Web World
Talk to the "chichas", "mama's" and "kakas" of the cayfs...
Say GoodMorning and Good Evening to strangers...!!!! with a smile (flirtacious if necessary!!!)
If u bump into a stranger too often, introduce urself and say "catchya later"!!!
This stuff is bloody FUNDAMENTAL TEXT-BOOK shit that IS not supposed to fade away, this "Zombie Culture" that is highly conducive to people like me with their computer a few inches from where they sleep./.IS NOT AT ALL acceptable...
GO OUT!/ FUCK OFF/GET LOST (yeah ive done that too...literally)

I think you're taking it the wrong way. I myself have delibarately went down that thought road, with ppl threating that I'm digging my own grave. But frankly it's nothing like that. It all depends on how and why you think. For me it wasn't cause I was on a low. In fact all this was triggered purely because I was VERY high .. Ironic isn't it ? Never thinking personally. Looking at the larger picture. Shit like that really helps. Trust me.
We might be thinking bout different questions too, but it's mainly the thinking process i feel is being degraded into a grave digging ritual.
