WHY??

Why do I have to live the way other people do? Why do I have to practice what all others have been practicing? Why can't I do something different? Be different? Why can't I start a revolution? Somebody started everything that exists, somebody started wearing clothes, somebody started driving, somebody used the first phone, first comb, first nail cutter. What did they have that I lack or for that matter anybody lacks, why are people so afraid of being different, why do all people think more or less the same way, why am I required to work from morning to evening, why can ii work in the night, why do I have to get married and have an offspring, what change will it bring to the world if I don’t get married, don’t study, don’t become "responsible", its going to make a difference in my life I agree but why do I have to inherit habits and practices that are being followed. Who made these rules? Some people who lived in the past and what of I don’t fin the rules satisfactory. I am sure nobody thinks that this is a perfect world we are living in, then why don’t we change it, we still are doing the same things what our parents did and expect our children to do the same and we expect the world to change. The first change has to be brought in you.

A change in the way we live, we think, we work and change in humanity is pending and people are not starting it, most people think that man is weak and has to do what is "written". No. Man is the most powerful being, he can create and change is own destiny. A man has brought changes earlier and another man has to do it again, the time is now, and I am going try and bring some change and if no one is walking with me I will walk alone.

The thing that comes to my mind is that why am I the only one who thinks like this, why doesn’t anybody else think the way I think, why is everybody so satisfied and yet to worried about small things. Lets say I have around 60 years more to live and I will spend most part of the time working, now if I choose a work which I don’t like I am only entitling myself to 60 years of plain torture but I'll do what I want to do, I don’t aspire to be famous or very rich but towards the end of my life I will know that I have done what I wanted to and the people or the situations have not made me do things which I didn’t want to do, like till today I have only done what I wanted to and the years I have lived have been good so if I continue living the way I am living my life which lies ahead will also be pleasant. I set my own standard and I live according to them.

Those who say that they have seen more life than me are more experienced as welcome to advice me, but just don’t expect that I will be following it. Ok you guys are experienced but in what? In leading a family, In working 9 to 5, in the effort to make your both ends meet but I don’t want to do all this stuff, I just want to do what I feel like, I am not sure what and I don’t want to plan it, its just that I decide what I want to do at that given point of time. So my definition of life is "live" nothing more nothing less. Not the types where half of the day is spend planning about the other half.

Not many people agree with me on this topic, in fact it's only me who agrees. But I think its ok, its ok not to plan, its ok not to save, its ok not to be responsible and its ok to ask why.
