Lost in the crowd

I guess most of feel have the urge in us to be seen, heard, listened, followed, pictured, admired, loved and the list goes on. We don’t want to be a part of the burgeoning bourgeois rather to be known as the adventurous, voguish, swanky capitalist and whatever the staid middleclass craves for. Perhaps, I am wrong and many would say I am a bigot in making this statement. After all it’s just a point of view and it can differ from person to person and vary from whichever angle you see through the kaleidoscope. Life when viewed through the prism of each one’s eyes unfolds a phantasmagoria of images that changes momentarily based on what the heart roots for and not based on what the head thinks. You become what you want to be, desire to be in that blinding illusion of life. Everyone desires to live a life that’s different from what one lives now, today or should I say most of us. Again, it’s just a generic statement considering that deep inside, rooted in our heart of hearts is that aspiration to lead a life that’s not the norm. That’s one of the reasons why we take time out for ourselves to go on a holiday to discover new places, people, culture, cuisine, nature and life beyond our daily routines. And after a week or two of this escapism we return back to our normal lives. We seemed to have taken a breather and infused fresh life into ourselves until the mundane sets in and we again long for the exciting and exhilarating life. And we dream of that thematic therapy called a theatrical sodomic life that’s sardonic and devoid of all the sober doctrines. In short, we just want to be someone else other than what we are, someone that we see in our day to day life or in a reel life or what we get to hear and see through the media.

Is that the two face within me talking right now…who wants to accept this as a reality. Is it me talking about myself, perhaps yes and no. A life that’s righteous, virtuous and sacrosanct on the one side and a life that’s full of revelry on the other. But the issue is, we are so much indoctrinated since childhood about the do’s and don’ts of life based on the social, familial and monetary status even after we grow out of this shambles, we just cannot become an outlier to the moralistic upbringing all throughout our life. So what’s right and what’s wrong, I am no moral preacher here, all I am trying to outline here is that, what does your heart and soul say, to your inner self. Where you to connect and what is that you want to become? Or question at times, am I so morally grounded that, I sometimes nay, many times wish that let me be lost in the crowd. Why because, that’s where I belong.
