Why the Great Escape?




Was it the same before we were born? Or is it just us? Will it be any different when we will be gone? I guess it was the same before, today and will continue forever. When the roots are faulty the overall plant can not really turn out to be a pretty sight. Whatever, we may end up doing, even if we give our 110 % attention to the plant to make it wonderful, deep down nothing changes.

Just a few things really that I should stop talking about now but I still question every time I see them happening.

Firstly, will people ever learn to draw the line? Do they really understand what the word privacy means? And if one is polite is it your place to get your ass into every shitty space you find? Some even try hard to fit in when they are not wanted. Even obvious signs are not enough. I ask every time why can't people learn to respect the fact that everyone does not want to share everything with them. Yeah, you are not that special. You are not worth discussing and sharing the joys and sorrows of life. Get it in your head you are not that important.

But for them everything is one big gossip. One big shit hole and they keep pouring in shit and jump into some more shit, then somebody else pours in more crap and they swim and swallow the shit deep down together. Then they speak and guess what it’s nothing but loads of crap that you hear.

Agreed there will always be such crappy people around all the time and not that I have not been aware of which crap was bigger or smaller than which one. My only concern remains that people hardly grow…it’s just the crap that grows with time.

Secondly, why escape when you can face it? Problems are a part of life – big or small. I don’t know why or how nobody ever taught me this but I have grown up facing them all my life. I have made so many faults just trying to solve the problems by facing them and got hurt badly innumerable times in the process. But that was the only way I ended up finding some solution also. May be I like to choose the harder road or may be things always turn up that way for me…but over the years I recall I have always tried and given my best shot and some way or the other things did get better in the end.

Now I get troubled when I see people whom I know are just picking the path of denial and not facing the truth. Escaping the truth and acting like the ostrich doesn’t lead to the best of places. How can they who taunted and mocked me all the while ended up so weak by not facing stuff when they fell into trouble? It’s quite simple to find flaws in the path others choose till you end up on the same road.

Although it’s their choice completely which path they choose and how they want to find the way out. With one of my friends I talked about him facing it but he doesn’t want to. That’s his way of tackling the situation. He will wait for the problems of the future to come at their own time and that he can’t avoid the mistake he is making today for some traditional reasons (which are not more important than one’s life and happiness I believe.) For someone else who is not facing the truth today, I never knew she was so weak.
