Karma or no karma - birth or rebirth, the reality, this is life, life is now, life is what is happening right here. Life may be now, but living will be in the future is the mantra most of us follow.
We can't be more wrong or further away from the truth. If your life is now, you must live it now as well.
We waste away most of our lives, dreaming of a better tomorrow and a brighter future. In this elusive quest, we miss out on all the little precious moments happening in our lives in the present.
Most of us in our old age will be wistfully regretting having letting go of the most beautiful phases of our life where we were blessed with the bountiful abundance of youth and health and we let it all rot with stress and pressure.
That is not to say, shirk your responsibilities, don't work hard, don't be committed. Nay, all that you sure must, but you owe yourself so much - to take care of that brilliant health that you were born with and not just your looks:p and laugh a lot from your heart and not just from your lips at officious gatherings:p
The fault with our generation is that we have grown up too soon, please don't get all excited and swell your chest with pride. Growing up does not translate to maturity or wisdom. It just means that we take ourselves too seriously and every single move we make is pre-determined and calculated. Every gesture we make needs to yield a return. We look for ROI in all aspects of our lives, including relationships.
No wonder, we are physically more sickly, mentally more pickly and spiritually all fickly than our parents or grandparents generation.
Let's loosen up, lighten our souls and live it up! Come on guys, we deserve it! We are alive and young and that's beautiful, ain't it? These are the best years of our life! There is nothing more empowering than being young!
.P.S. This piece is a dedication to Friends ( 20 years) . We developed OCDs with Monica, we laughed with Joey, sang Smelly Cat with Phoebe, we grew up with Chandler, thought like Ross and picked up a little fashion timing from Rachel.
