Blunt Stubbornness: Does it make any sense.....

Imagine. You need to go ahead. It's all dark. You can feel the ground below your feet and nothing else. The only recluse you have is to hold on to a rope that has lead many men before to the very same destination that you are headed to. Now, even if you close your eyes, you can still be sure of reaching your destination by blindly following the rope.

Imagine further. There is no rope. All you have is the rugged ground below. The first time you step into a puddle or a steep crest, skepticism begins over your very sense of direction. Brushing aside all the negativity, you still make your decision to either go ahead or change the direction. You keep going. Hopelessness shooting you at every verge of your tiredness. Suddenly you get all paranoid and begin to imagine that you have already been travelling 20 years without getting a hint of your destination.

Then some magical force brings you back to a realization that it hasn't been 20 years yet; but something far less than that. This force tells you that your destination in The Dark Unknown may be just a step away. So keep going...... Now the million dollar question: what the fuck is this magical force? Sheer Confidence? Blind Faith? Or Blunt Stubbornness? I vote for the last one 'coz somewhere in the journey towards your destination, confidence and faith become very volatile.

.... or Dreaming The Life!!!

Dreams. Try recollecting them. Aren't they pacy, racy and quick? They sure don't drag like Living. 'Coz Dreams don't have 8 hrs of sleep, 3 hrs of eating, 3 hours of commuting and years of waiting to achieve your 'dreams'. Whoever is the editor of the Dreams, deserves all the Oscars. But somehow, in Living the Dream aspect, the slowness or stillness of Life -- the sleeping hours, the eating hours, the commuting hours and the waiting hours -- overwhelms the sheer dynamism of Dreams. That's the frustrating part and exactly not what one expects, leading to drowsiness, over-eating, hopelessness and ambiguity. Someone please shoot the editor of this aspect and replace him, before I shoot myself.

By the way, after I shoot myself, will I be able to experience that magical aspect called 'Dreaming The Life'????
