Life n its Lessons

Sometimes i wonder if stupidity is an inherint trait of an individual or does it over time find its way in…

When your life is defined by a simple action.. You change the concept of time. - Unknown

How much of human life is lost in waiting….

Emerson sure did hit the jackpot with that one… 9 words when strung up say so much .. yet seem so little ..

You can always speak a lot and mean none .. Or you can speak none .. but yet mean a lot…

What are words without meaning ? Ever question that ?

i do all the time…

Its strange how our years teach us .. the shorter our time the more we learn …

And Reasons simply don’t count.… Results Do…

Who can say
Where the road goes
Where the day flows
- Only time

Who can say why your heart sighs
as your love flies
-Only time

And who can say why your heart cries
when your love lies
-Only time

Who can say when the roads meet
that love might be
in your heart

And who can say
when the day sleeps
if the night keeps
all your heart

Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
as your heart shows
-Only time

And who can say
Where the road goes
Where the day flows,
-Only time

Who knows-only time
Who knows-only time…..

its been a while since i broke that glass with my fist …10 years to be precise … i came very close to shattering it again but some thing held me back .. don’t yet know what it was maybe it was the wisdom i gathered over the past 10 years …

Someone once told me he wished he could use my head with the 54 years of wisdom he had .. it did’nt quite hit me back then but tonight it did…

Life is what goes on… After the thrill of living is gone …

Why is it a Thrill ? Well look back at your life and i am sure you will find your answers

Everything thats bought to life in this world .. Eventually gives in to death some day or the other
And with time a life filled with shared moments dissolves into a faded memory … Of someone who once was…

Does life with the winds of change and its countless mysteries thrust us forward.. Well maybe it does
But then sometimes an individuals will does stand firm ground ..

6 AM and i hear the cell phone ring … “Its Done” i am told …

Life goes on .. and will keep going on long after we all are gone …

Out of all my crazy thoughts this one by far is the most scariest or at least gets one thinking …

I remember sitting across the table with a friend of mine talking about how time flew by and now that he is 30 and i am 26 … Half our lifes have almost passed us by…

He Said ” I want to call it quits by the time i am 60.. don’t wanna live post that”
it triggered a thought in my mind … thought i’d bust his chops

Me: So your 30 … You think you have another 30 years left to live your life …
Him : Yes
Me: Ah… “with a evil smile”
Me: hey did this thought every occur to you that 30 years flew by so quick cause you were sleeping for 15 out of the 30
and you would do the same for the remainder 30.. So technically .. you only have 15 years left to live
Him: Looking at me stunned he said ” You got me thinking there buddy .. its a scary thought.. Just when i was thinking i have enough time to live my life”

Never told him this … but it was a scary thought for me too which i happened to put off as a joke ..

Think about it … i know i did that night

I was away from home for a long time … And now that i am back home. New York Feels a world away …I met some very interesting people had some great times ..

Every once in a while i would have a few drinks with a friend of mine.. Some one i lived with for a while too

I am a good listener i dunno how true is but many people say so .. And knowing myself a lil over the past 26 yrs i do know people can stretch my patience to extreme limits and get away with it

So anyways .. Every time we would have a few drinks this guy would go on and on about his times while he was in south africa. The Prestige he carried, The Power he commanded and the Life he once lived. Its was ok a couple of times listing to the same stories, Everyone has the right to cherish old memories

As months passed by … So did years.. I Kept listening to the same tales time and time again. Every time he narrated the story i saw a light myst in his eyes and a depth in his emotions that expressed his craving for the life he left behind once….

I never had the courage to tell him. Always felt my blunt words would be a little to harsh….So i kept giving him a patient ear for the longest of times… If you can help one feel a little light and better why not ? Goodwill although may go unnoticed but never goes unrewarded in life ..

As i look backed at my conversations with him one night before i was going to bed .. I came to a conclusion he was living his present … In his past ..

You may have been the prince of Babylon once upon a time.. But this is your life now .. Deal with it…. It doesn’t get better it doesn’t get worse unless you choose to make it so

Look back at life for answers from experiences
Look back at life to cherish the good times

Don’t Look back and Live in a time gone by ….

A day passes by .. so does a week .. so does a month … followed by a year

Little do we realize time is ticking by .. irrespective of what we are doing or what state of mind are we in.

Your Happy ..Time will tick .. Your sad .. Time will still tick… Your Confused …Time definitely still tick

Considering you spend half your life sleeping … that just leaves another half to be sad , happy or confused

Wouldn’t one want to be happy for the most part if it was a perfect world ?

Well atleast i would for the most i can …

The Only issue is people are so overwhelmed with emotions driven by their surrounding environment ..And get so caught up in their day to day life… They hardly get a chance to take a breather n step out of the box for a while to look at their lifes from a brids eye view..

Life is though and its difficult to get yourself out of the daily routine

Well You have Problems so do 5 Billion other people …

But do stop every once in a while … N seek the path to happiness ..

Life is too short to be confused .. n too precious to be sad

After 26 yrs of my life …and Number of serious and casual relations i came to a realization which never struck me before.. An individuals Character is the safest long term bet you can have on them …

I was heading back home from work and a old college buddy gave me a buzz .. Did’nt have anything better to do so figured i would catch up with him.

Sitting at a bar he was blowing his horns about casually dating a married woman at work.. I was not surprised but to bust his chops i just asked him…

Me : Hey How old are you now ?
Him : 25 Yrs
Me: Cool so i am sure you would be married in a few years .. have anything on your cards ?
Him : Maybe in a few years
Me : Hey you know there maybe a remote possibility a few years down the line when your married. You could have 2 Single guys sitting in this bar and discussing your wife … lol
Him : STOP Don’t you dare say another word on that … i’ll find myself a decent girl
Me : Ah
Me : So looks like it maybe arranged
Him : I guess it could be …
Me : Hmmm…
Me: So a thought just occurred to me so your saying the current married chic you are dating is not a decent chic hence you are going out with her to have a good time .. But you would only marry a decent chic ?
Him : Correct
Me: Being the smart ass i am ” Hey so is there a remote possibility that the decent chic you decide to marry suddenly has the realization that she has not explored life and decides to change her approach post you guys get married”

He Looked at me stunned.. With No answer

Me: So either ways you are screwd

Anyways we ended that conversation … i lit up a smoke .. as i took the first puff …
It hit me maybe character of an individual is the safest long term bet

There is a Chinese saying ” Its easier to change the course of a river or the shape of a mountain .. Then to change and Individuals Character… ”

Individuals Change with time and keep changing till the end of their time … There is no known constant from birth to death ..

Food for thought ?
