Island of Serenity ...

Monday, October 02, 2006



Why is man in constant quest of inputs, stimuli, new experiences, more data to process ?

When most of them know that the most blissful and serene they can be is when they are left to themselves, when life is slow, when there are less things to process.

I think, the best state a human being can aspire to be is when you are able to feel serene and blissful, when a faint smile creeps into your lips unconsciously and stays, and when the very smile can be felt in all parts of your mind that you can see.

But it might be, its not the aim that is important, but the journey itself. The machine might rust if not given enough tasks to do, more so like with Marvin - the paranoid android - with a brain as big as the galaxy and so less information to process.

Still maybe you can keep an island of serenity in your heart, amidst the sea of things to process, where you can be shipwrecked at times, calmed by towering waves and left to counting days instead of hours, when the sun sets and rises.
