when we are young we are desperate to grow older and enjoy the liberties that come with age. but as we grow old don't we lose way too many things?? for instance the freedom of childhood are ones you can never replace, for eg, boy kid-girl kid same bathroom, a boy pecking you on your cheeks in prep school everyday, the nonchalance about earning a livelihood or exam pressure and most importantly so many friends who you would meet everyday.
as we grow older, do we become more lonely with time? with age, with the ups n downs of life we are everyday a little more alienated from others. lunch groups dwindle, shopping buddies drift apart, cafe groups disintegrate, childhood friends go long distant, its just loss, loss n loss n more loss. we gain experience none the less from all this.
with emails, mobiles, every other modern communication device at our disposal we have lesser people to call or contact. with better jobs, better pay packages we have lesser time to have fun or lesser people to go out with. in search of a better career we don't think twice but leave behind everything and leave for a foreign land. in this wide world why do we do with full consciousness, every possible thing that makes us more lonely?
aha so u too feel the same way..add me to your thot list
ReplyDeleteIt's really amazing (and rare) to find someone in your workplace who ponders on the nuances of life exactly like you! After reading your few recent posts I could connect with this one the most!But at times I feel perhaps we've become too busy even to spot the loner in us!
ReplyDeleteAll of the posts are very lucid and most importantly they're kinda eye-opening to me. The way you have used this virtual-outlet called "blogging" impressed me a lot. So come on girl...open your heart and keep blogging!
