EP5K

Took part in my first 5k run today!!! It was awesome. I don't know if the time was conducive though(7 am); it was freezing cold! But I ran and more importantly, finished it! With an hour and a half sleep the night before, I took over that 3 miles like it was nothing. Ok enough bragging, because now I feel the pain, and so I am off to sleep.

The Point

You walk down a crowded road, contemplating how different everyone is from each other, when in fact, nine out of ten times, everyone is sailing the same thought-boat- what is the point? Conversations, off late, always take that gradual turn- what is the point? There is no point in all of this... Pointless.

All of us are so bogged down in finding the point in life, that we forget to live life the way we think it should be led. We try so hard to find that point, to prove to oneself and to others that we are doing something substantial in life, that we forget how to have fun. Competition is so deep down in our veins; we cannot stand competition from others.

We look back at conscious decisions, only to regret having made them because now there isn't any point to it. Self-satisfaction has reached the other level- it is no more in the moment, everything is long run. There's always that annoying naivety in us, screaming at us to find the point in a decision, a justification behind a job done. Why can't something be the infamous- just because I wanted to do it then. I do it all the time, the questioning part I mean. But it seems so counter- productive and time consuming. You are paying for that decision twice, in effect.


Which brings me to the point of this post (oops)- why is the status quo the status quo? Why is it hard to move away from it?
