Life...

It’s a juxtaposition of sorts; I mean life, how people perceive it and what they make of it. Each one has his own reservations, own priorities, own principles and own understanding. The other binding factors are responsibilities and liabilities.
Many decisions made are actually compromises, sacrifices in fact for the sake of responsibilities.
Therefore in the process one has lived life not according to his whims and fancies but otherwise where he has had to sacrifice almost all his desires to be ‘fitting’ to his family values and to the values of the society. It’s an ‘Endless Pleasing’ game; you please everyone and everything around you. In this Life Course, people take into account many factors, the principal one being ‘money’ to make living worthwhile. Yes, they say money talks but honestly I have nothing much to contribute here.. Materialism has eaten us to the bone. Gone are days of joint families, of sharing and caring. Today, it’s more of survival of oneself, and survival that’s accepted by the norms of the present era. You are more in love with the GIZMOS’ than with your fellow beings.
What is the reason of happiness for one is the cause of sorrow for the other.
