My musings!

Human beings are essentially meaning making machines! They ought to attach a meaning or interpretation to everything in life..Their reality is governed by very simple rules-Stories,Interpretations,Decisions.And what are these based on? Expectations,should be/shouldn't be,fantasies,romantic notions,looking good,not looking bad,being wanted,the feeling of importance,not being rejected,fear of failure. If you look very closely,all our actions and thoughts is a subset of this superset in some way or the other.You make some decision,u become that decision,u make an interpretation,u live with that interpretation,u make a story u live in that story. Its so surprising that the lives of majority of the humans are governed by so few rules. And the amazing thing is they are sucked into these so much that they cant get out and it becomes the reality or life for them.All their lives they are trying to fix it to adhere to these rules . I am not saying this is wrong or right,because i inherently i believe there is nothing called right and wrong in this world.Each person customises his/her life to his/her own needs,desires,ideals and beliefs.But a deep introspection into this makes you wonder,thats all!
