The cars' new,
the tank full,
a nice breeze blows,
and there is a song in the heart.
Its fun to ride on the highway.
Bumps on the road,
and a strong gale
do make the car sway.
Caution and focus do save the day.
Gosh, i do love to drive on this highway.
A heavy storm,
blows u away.
The cars coughs,
the tank leaks,
and the wind doesn't relent.
With each circle completed,
the tank does get depleted
Damn, do i hate this highway?
A compass is found,
a fuelling station just around!
The tank refilled and mended.
The car rolls,
the storm is friendly
and the heart sings a new beat
Yup, it is great to ride on the highway.

Self fulfilling prophecy, life, me
Hmm its described wonderfully here
Still i thot i will write about it so here is a brain dump, it is random and hazy, you have been warned;-).
The bone of contention is perception, your outlook towards life, your actions, your responses/reactions are all shaped by perceptions. So how do we seperate the absolute from what we perceive. So what is absolute. Hmm food for nourishment of body, physical health, mainly pertaining to the physical self. Wat else. What about happiness? Some ppl do not expect anything from life, learn to take everything in their stride, be happy, some are blissfully ignorant and are happy, some manage to find sadness anywhere, and some are lost in their own worlds, confused. Absolutes governing them are the same, but perceptions, approaches and attitudes, results differ.
Welll how important is satiation of the desires? Would they ever cease? I notice myself at my office sometimes, and whenever i hit upon a problem, i feel like running away from it and going to some fairy land, where there are no problems. Part of me tells me that i should do something more "fruitful", satisfying, and maybe something more intellectual, and a part tells me its all perception, so watz the point dude? In the recent past, i realized it was good to have some short term goals, the fullfillment of them gives satisfaction and pleasure, but is dat absolute? I guess a jehadi and a yogi have a similar state of mind, they are totally committed to a cause, and gain "satisfaction" from their endeavours, but the "civilised" world has vastly contrasting perceptions for these ppl. Deja vu.
Being in the present does give you a joy, but you do like to know, wat is it all for; where does it lead to, for wht purpose are the actions performed by me directed. Indecision, confusion, impatience, fear, desires reigns supreme in me sometimes. The most pleasant part of the day is when i drive down on my bike at break neck speed, skipping redlights, avoiding collisions. Being in the present does have its fun, i don't deny that.
Btw there was this joke that i read, if you put two piles of grass equi-distant from a donkey, it will starve itself to death. Somehow, it does not feel dat funny any more, the fact that it was funny seems funny.
Balance is dat the elusive word? Hmm food for thought. Enjoy life as it comes, avoid inner conflicts, fullfillment of desires, good health, hmm lets see, freedom from thought, and meaning of life?. Hmm.
