Soup for the Soul.

You know what sometimes pisses you off? On how certain people have a golden spoon in their mouth and are hand-held to all the fancy things that life could give one, with such ease.

Sometimes you get a wake up call. On other days, you conveniently doze off in the reality of your existence. Until, something strikes you or hits you in the face and you sense a certain pang that throbs in your chest like a knot. Jealousy.

You feel, why so easy for someone else. Why not for me? On most cases this feeling is pointless. It adds to no productive value in your life. But it is worth observing. On how a certain X gets to live away from home, study in great places and find the love of his/her life, while you slog away dreaming for everything you ever wanted in one tiny portion of the world.

Now something worth observing even more, would be, while you feel this way, there is someone else who is looking at you and wondering how does this person(you) have it all.

So, life is relative.Unfair. And we only wish it was unfair in our favour.

Each person has his/her own story. We have to make the best of it. Live it the best way. In a lot of ways the social world these days doesn't let us do so. The in-your-face display of fun in your lives ( read: on facebook) doesn't let one escape feeling dull about ourselves. And the pompous display of our own adventures makes us pity ourselves? Do we really need this? In a lot of ways we are only living our lives in our head these days. It's become a mind game.

But you can't escape anything right? This is where the world is heading. So how do you save yourselves and maintain your sanity? When does peace arrive?

I seriously feel we are in an age of information explosion. Too much on news. On social. On any platform. So much that these days I feel proud that I DO NOT know certain things.

Water cooler talks:

Person A: "Hey, you know who all are participating in Big Boss this season?"

Me: "No man."

Saved my soul.
