Something happened today which got me thinking yet again what sort of world and among the people do we live in......life has become so paralysed with everything being so funky dory on the digital media world and the mentality that everyone have lot of options available in every part of life - ranging from finding the online dates to finding the people you fancy socialising with etc etc....but the reality check is totally different. No one wants to understand why relationships in the past survived as people used to make an effort to make things work which doesn't happen anymore. Seldom we see anyone ever say "oh my life is just perfect".
Every direction you turn around, you can see sadness within families/couples, among singles both women and men. I am not saying this sadness part is the only thing that exist but definitely affect us in one or the other way and the different proportions. And I reckon we all do make an effort to find happiness by trying to find it and say life is dandy.
Reason why it got me thinking - I was talking to a friend or rather more of an acquaintance about relationships and realised how huge gap exists between the expectations and what people actually say or talk about. And this is from a person who is well educated/travelled but as I said that the reality check was missing within his own speech which I suppose don't associate with your education levels or seeing the world anymore ( My idealistic mind used to think globalism and a good education do change people, but I suppose it doesn't and agree I am no relationship expert either).
We like the idea of having a perfection in everything around/with us but definitely no desire to make an effort for it - basically want to have a piece of cake and eat it but on our own terms and conditions. Sometimes makes me question - do we learn from mistakes ever or we just think that we have learnt but actually not.
Background music playing on my laptop perfectly suited this:
Honestly, what will become of me?
I don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
