Simplify Life…
We all started the race… Race to the finish line… Right? We all
want to get there…”There”… yeah right… frankly speaking… none of us really have
any idea where this “There” is located… But we all are heading there… in our heads of
course…
Unknown pressure always
surrounds us… Way back in school it was studies… then came time when we had to
nail down career options…. And now it’s the job life… In the midst of all this
we decide to get married… looks like a simple new addition in our life… But
what about the rearrangements that would be needed… are we ready for that?
Our parent’s generation was nice… in one simple word I can say it
was simply “Simple”… rather it still is… They do not run after career… do they?
They do not run after money… They know what they need… and they know where to
halt… the technologically retarded generation so to speak… but they live their
life the best possible way… Their top priority is pretty simple… –Family…
Simple, isn’t it... And they are happy :)
We complicated everything… Our single, love and married life… In
the endless race to gain more and more … We moved out to gain more and lost the
little things that add up to life… Whatsapp has reduced phone calls… Phone
calls have reduced face to face talks… We live in a generation that talks to
walls – The so called “Facebook Wall”….We try and be connected to the entire
world but do we know the one who stays next door… Sighh!!!
Saturation is on its way… And when it will get saturated… we will
love our parent’s generation… we will look for the simplicity in our lives…
where all they got to worry about is family… work life is a medium for leading
a happy family life… not the reverse… And its only possible when we start
taking simple steps to – Simplify Life…
I have started taking my little steps in that path…. Trust me, it
takes most of the burden off our shoulders…And I am loving it already….
