Its a matter of Choice

Sometimes when I get up from a deep slumber and watch out from the bolcony of my flat .....there is a vast open field with dwellings all around it and concrete pillars aspiring at the heart of it to reach the sky ......Sitting over that place for some time I realise the variety of things on this earth .....Isnt it all about observing and how deep we observe ....how much we feel about people around us forget about the people we dont know but for thoes with whom we actually live with ...the people we know the people for whom we care ....Over the period of time i find many people becoming indiffrent about their fellows .....that tooo with a grace .....is it not the reflection of the society we are in or is it just the person who changes for the reason know only to him then why does a person helping someone is taken for granted by this scoiety ...Well i am not the one to answer this what all i can do is just to think on that and feel sad about :) ........Yes one of the great saying to quote with and an end to everything that troubles once brain is to think ......That in life one should always race with oneself . In the relatively false world of absolutism whatever we think, say or act on is relative ....the relativity is a great concept in itself ...but it creates lot of pains for lot many people ...therefore the indian culture i think never encouraged competetion instead glorified the laid back and compalcent attitutde of the people feeling content in whatever you have is what fed to all of us in our great books of wisdom ....though i have not read all of them but still this is what is around .Though what i said right now bout the Indian ideology I really cant reject the element of peace and internal happiness which one get by toeing on the lines of Ancient Indian Systems ...So is it just a tradeoff between material and spritual growth ..as said by the The Architect (with some changes )-this brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and the salvation of human self . The door to the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of every of ours materail need . As adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you’re going to do, don’t we? No matter how much i crib ......but the fact remains At the other end of the spectrum are the opponents of every view being appalled by what they feel to be the bleakness of others thoughts . .... they feel diminished by that knowledge of other belives ....I would not try to answer any of these critics with a pep talk about the beauties of human belief. Their worldview is chilling and impersonal in the localized domains of their own ideologies . It has to be accepted as it is, not because we like it, but because that is the way the world works.
Towrds the end .....Its always the matter of choice ....well said by Frost :

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both,
And be one traveller, long I stood,
And looked down one as far as I could,
To where it bent in the undergrowth,
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that, the passing there,
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay,
In leaves no step had trodden black,
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,and I-
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
