Addiction and YOUR life

Have you played in a lake with friends without knowing how to swim? You might hesitate when you go for the first time. It is not because you can’t swim but because you will feel the water is very dirty. You will anyway go because people are already there. You can freely go up to your knee level water. It is easy and safe too but you won’t stop there.

You will be little careful and watch your steps when you move further. It is a pure joy when you stand at waist level water and splashing the water with your hands. You can go deeper with the help of your friends who can swim well. You can spot a rock inside which is used for washing cloths during summer and you can stand on it confidently. Of course, at chest level water, floating your hands over the water surface is a pleasure of different kind. There is a little danger as the waves can make you imbalance. Remember, even the few feet water is enough to get you drowned when you lose your control.



Getting addicted to a thing is like walking inside the lake without the possibility of swimming and nothing to help when needed. Addiction is going deeper and deeper into something without the thought for return. There is a bliss at a point where it won't leave you without disturbing the normal.

You should get addicted to your desires to actualize them. You can be sure that it will eventually kill you physically and psychologically. But that is the only way you define YOUR life and the defined ones are remembered.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same. If you look ...
