Evolutionary Us!

Every being wants to survive! Who wouldn't? And in the art of survival, we adapt to situations, customize needs and channel our actions towards it.

If fit can be attributed to the brain, then its certainly an era of survival of the smartest. Gone are the days of physical activities as a means of tending to one's life. And in this constant fight, to be seen and recognized and not remain unnoticed by the world over, we keep racing ahead, sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly towards what we are set. And with the advent of internet, our personalities and characteristics have seen a progression in leaps and bounds. Evolutionary or not, some of us create or seek or get inspired and the changes are here to see!

The struggle to stay ahead is what keeps all of us alive to either keep us ordinary or exceptional. But the same struggle consumes us so much, that we tend to park ourselves by the side (like me, now), to think where is all this going? How much are we compromising with ourselves just to stay the one beyond all or one amongst all?

As things would have it, from an evolutionary perspective, life was as simple as existing (while you live apart from just existing!), adapting to changes & situations and keeping the ball rolling until you wither. But, are things that simple when you look around now? We have gone a step ahead of evolution and have tagged along a lot of hindrances which is resisting evolution. A lot of these hindrances are those uncanny beliefs and thoughts and practices that is actually classifying/clustering us into different beings (All homo sapiens, varieties of it!).

I do hold onto "variety is the spice of life". However, varieties in all quarters of life are totally uncalled for, for one's existence. Do we need things which really doesn't help our existence?

The first one to be blamed is Earth in itself! For undergoing such multi-dimensional catastrophic changes in dividing the land. Then, the most intelligent creatures (We!) took the baton in creating nations, borders, divisions, race, religion, color, class, creed, caste, sub-caste, sub sub-caste (useless C's), politics, parties etc etc. The list is tiresome! Where are we headed? How do we progress with so much on hand? Things which are unsorted and which will never be sorted. In a blink of an eye, everything could be lost like a whiff of air when the same one I blamed earlier is on another conquest. Then, there is neither room for wonder or amazement. The great tenants that we could have been, we are just not!

(For those of you who love to read & can get through history & science, please do read " A Short History Of Nearly Everything".)

Now these are my views. Certainly wouldn't force my thoughts down anyone's throat. But that's a skewed picture beyond the intent. The point I am driving home is the bigger picture! The bigger picture, that which will unfurl all the unnecessary portions of the meal and allows us to consume what is required. Now you choose what is edible and what is inedible. That which is inedible is never digestible and that which is not digestible is not healthy for anyone's existence.

We live, not merely exist and during this onward course, lets defragment ourselves from the portions that yields no result from an outlook of simplicity. There is still more to life, to keep us unique, distinguished and to keep us beyond all or one amongst all! A lot of other beings have adapted as the need demands (only). Wish we did too! Unclutter your needs, unclutter your actions, unclutter your life!!  :)

Should we or shouldn't we?

I agree ,uncluttering ourselves is very much needed.However most of us would be confused as to start from where since this is such a vicious stuff.And the biggest unreal thing associated with most of us "looking good,avoid looking bad"..which tends to pull us back again and again.

Life is simple and can be led in a way that keeps one self in a state that resonates with the natural energy and today we are all so disconnected with everything around..

In fact this has given me a new dimension to life of re-living moments and re-creating things in life without a pre-decided notions,emotions or beingness.

I am struggling and I am glad I have you thinking in the same dimension.

Lets really get our brains thinking on this :) good going dear..

Awesome dimension ...just before you turn one more year older...advanced Happy Birthday :)

Few think and the rest follow :) Have always believed that being progressive doesn't mean running in a race created by someone else for sake of his/ her own agenda. But most of us end up doing that. We all are being fed with the feelings and notions about what do we need to do, what all do we need/ lack in our lives, what we should be, how we should look like. And not many of us are actually good at resisting. So we follow and then we fall and then we wonder what has hot us :)
