I discovered a surprising fact yesterday. Given a choice to write the script for their own life, very few actually make it sweet and sugary. After all how many of us say that we want to sit in a big house with a cool spouse and everything we want and live life happily ever after. Very few if you ask me. Some of the prefered story lines range from that of a king who fights and wins grim battles. A highflying (literally) superhero who fight vicious villains and of course wins in the end to down right smart heroes and heroines who start out as paupers and later on struggle to make it big. My personal favourite is to live in a well-stocked (with food) library that has all the books in the world and a life time to read all of them; though not many share my down right boring preferences.
I believe that the underlying difference between existing and living is a kind of awareness towards ourselves and whats around us which results in an urge to change. What makes people to be so alive in their dreams and merely exist in reality? Is it the shackes of society that would laugh at someone who would wear a unique costume and fight crime? Is it the belief that dreams are the opposite of reality?
By the way, if no one seems to be satisfied with having everything they want, then what does make us happy? Is it owning what we want or is it doing what we want?
Guess thats questions enough for a day.
