Sick Face of the Human Race
================================================
profile after profile asks for honesty in the other person. What is the definition? What are the parameters? Where does one draw a line?
today the human race is emotionally fragile to the extent that shrinks and religious leaders run their lives rather than their personal instincts. It’s somewhat like … rather than develop immunity , which a human body is resilient enough , to fight minor illness, the reliance on antibiotics is rampant … a stage where humans pop a pill for a quick-fix solution.
my rant here may not make sense because my own thoughts are frayed, many a question creeping back into my mind as to where this life is heading. Why people want to discard their loved ones at the drop of the hat, why whims get the better of us, why we are quick to judge others instantly destroying in one stroke a house of cards painstakingly built over a long period of time.
the answers may be multifold, but my conclusion is that the very fabric of human decency lies in tatters, where so many people simply want to screw over each other for no plausible reason… effectively making it an uphill task for the few who live by their honest principles extinct or irrelevant. Self-preservation making many a decent human to cloud their own judgment discarding even things we once considered precious, leaving behind a wake of pain and discontent.
just when one comes to a plateau, thinking life cannot possibly give more shocks or that we think we have become either immune or smart enough to cope with emotional disasters … the next episode leaves another gaping hole in the already cratered psyche.
strange thing is, we humans would rather live a lonely existence, looking over our shoulders, pretending to be tough and '‘getting on with life’'. No one stops to think, we may have built mansions and overflowing bank balances in the quest for having '‘achieved’' something in life. But the emptiness within, that we have a bare cupboard from our past … effectively rendering us emotionally bankrupt … where we have nobody we call our own, nobody who is a devoted mate, friend or sibling. As we strut about life with a spring in our walk,,, only to drag our feet once we reach home to our grand achievements devoid of the basic necessities of primitive life. We see the pillars of life tottering and the walls crumbling down due to the suspicion and intolerance we embrace … questioning where does this all end???
my original philosophy always was … 5 trustworthy friends are equivalent to 500 hypocritical acquaintances….. ( one devoted lover is worth ten short-term stands )
Then life turns it upside down and forces you to tune in to 500 selfish acquaintances after those five disappear …
shaitaanism : love can be pursued but cannot be forced … be it in a relationship, friendship or family… food, however well prepared, if served without love would never taste good.
