Courage and Predicament

Is our life better than the animals ?

They roam free, eat what is made available to them , sleep and wakes up at their designated time.

Of course , they have to fight more for their survival than us.  But what is more important FREEDOM or SURVIVAL.

The post is not about what we should do or what not. But mainly how in today's world we are caged and how FEAR has crept in us.

I came from middle class family, I remember when I was young and even till 12th the values of HUMANS EMOTIONS and interaction was given higher importance. They was less FEAR of FAILURE, there was less scrutiny. The student evaluation use to happen only during exams.


Now I am working in COMPANY, the bigger name company you work in and bigger package you get , they less control you have of your own LIFE. The FAILURE becomes exponentially equal to your package.

 Last year , lot of people from my company get laid off. Everyone was sad, when they get bad rating. But afterwards getting new job everyone is more happy.

That's how uncertain and random our life is . We can get sad about something, thinking it as the worst thing happened to us. But in the end we never know and more often than not we end up happy.

Why ...just because we are no longer caged. For my friends who are now working in new company , will definitely again start felling caged after 1-2 years, since FEAR will once again start making its way.

Now this year , they have given me average rating in mid year appraisal, which more seems to make me end up with GOOD rating rather than Very good rating.  ( Our system is quite F*** up)

Now instead of feeling sad , I feel quite relieved,   no pressure is their to maintain the top position.
Now I sit back and relax.

Off course the FEAR of MONEY might came when in MARCH , hike is given. Because of that FEAR I have to prepare and switch company.  Phewwwwwwww

Why we don't get COURAGE to do what we like, WHY when conditions become WORSE , then only we FOLLOW our HEART.

This is my ideal life ........have a nice backpack.....filled with 2-3 pairs of shoes , some dry fruits and chocolates....water and money to refill my stomach and move around from one place to other on foot.

Walk in the desert , have my feet dipped in ocean, feel wind against my face on mountain top ....and climb trees in forest.

A life where MIND no longer is burden thinking about FUTURE and just working out the PRESENT.
