rat race Sometimes learning can have such a destructive force. It makes you feel stupid when you cannot seem to get it right and when you have no idea how to approach a particular problem. You get angry at yourself when you cannot do it. You cry when you fail miserably at a task and then you realise there isn't anyone you can talk to at all. The world is cruel, and no one will slow down, stop and ask if you are okay. Then lead you by the hand and walk together. As we navigate our ways through life, there are so many other important things than just being popular, pretty, handsome, rich and interesting. Some things are temporal, while some go on forever. Why can't we all see through the veneer and look at what is deep inside? You walk aimlessly, or from point to point, but at the end of our route what do we get? Leaving a profound impression? The thirst to strive forward is inherent in everyone else. Nobody likes to lose, or to be behind others. Especially when we are all so accustomed to this sort of rat race that we almost look like rats, scurrying around in our filth and tail. To choose to take a back seat and watch all the cut-throat is not that difficult after all. It will feel like a real-time movie in your own little milieu. Ok enough of all these. Delving back into the mountain of papers right now. |
