My mind's in a frenzy now. Thanks to a discussion on whether or not we have control over our lives. The pessimistic that I am, I naturally believe that we have no control over our lives...shit happens...and destiny makes sure you are always present when it does. But what struck me most from the conversation was a simple question - "Why do we do what we do if we think that we have no control over our lives?" Thinking about this has put my mind in a hurricane of thoughts and emotions over the past few days. I have no answer to this. But I hope to find out.
Some thoughts which came out from this over the past few days:
Steering Aimless
What do you go seeking, oh vagabond
every night and day, end up being forlorn
steering mindlessly toward those dreams and aims
not a soul knows where , not even your own self
"you command your destiny" you always proclaim
all illusions to gratify the spirit, satisfy oneself
the soul that requires that little nudge
to believe in reaching goals which on lifes canvas it has smudged
to divert it from the abyss of utter impuissance
and bring into your world a dash of luminescence
but take heed, thats not what reality is
and thats not what life means
because if you say you can control your own life
there would not be a sorrowed soul, pain, hate and strife ...
I am at the threshold of that abyss. Peering down on that what has gone by...
This post is dedicated to the person who sparked this off in my mind and giving me some thing to ponder over. Perhaps someday the answers will come. ..
