LIFE – Take the F out and its all a LIE

Life does not honor promises. One moment she is with you, inviting you on a never ending journey, promising immortality, serenity and bliss, the next moment she just disappears leaving you broke, crippled and forlorn.

We spend a major portion of our time planning and working for the life ahead, not knowing whether the ‘life ahead’ is a reality or a deception; not knowing whether these colors are real or just an illusion. Every morning we wake up and walk this road of deception not knowing when we would fall into a trench. A trench that would end it all; a trench that would make all our assumptions invalid; a trench that would be a beginning of a life that never ends.

This life is a whirlwind of emotions. One day we are happy, confidant and sure, the next day we are sad, frustrated and confused. We spend our lives trying to figure out a way to be on the ‘happy, confidant and sure’ lane, only to later find a sign signaling ‘closed for maintenance sorry for inconvenience’. We present theories, conceptions and misconceptions about our idea on how to lead a perfect life when we ourselves are not sure whether the road ahead is smooth or wrecked; whether that bridge will bear our weight or collapse; whether that ‘perfect’ exists or not.

This sometimes makes me wonder, why do we still plan and prepare for something that does not exist; why do we still follow life when we know she will deceive us. Perhaps, we are all blind; oblivion to the fact that this is a delusion; a fallacy fed into our vulnerable system; a lie passed around for centuries. I hope and pray that we could all open our eyes before our train crashes, for then it would be too late.
