I received this status on my wall today by someone :
Lyf z lyk football....it nva rches d goal until n unless gt so many kicksss.....!
Holy Shit !!!
I have not listened to anything more crappy than this. Life is no football game and we certainly are not the football. At least I am not. And in my defense I would like to raise a few arguments :
1. There are two goals in football. So is it fine with you if you reach either of the goals? If yes, then god save you.
2. The ball never gets to choose which goal it wants to go to. It is the players on the field who decide that, which in case of life, is the society. And I don't want the society to decide for me.
3. The ball does not roll itself and reach the goal. Somebody has to kick it in there. I don't want somebody to kick me to the goal. I am fine on my own. Thank you.
4. One thing that is true about the game is that there are always two sides who want you to get to their sides. But again, the ball has no role to play there. Whoever wishes to, takes the ball.
I have been going through some really bad phases recently. And its all because of the society. You cannot eat this, you cannot do that, women are weaker then men, you cannot have a career which is not 'respectable'.
Since birth, till death there are so many rules. Come to this world and you are welcomed by judging eyes of the society : Oh, his eyes are like his mother but his forehead is like his father. I am sure he is going to be an engineer like his father. Why don't they kill us then and there?? And they say that 'childhood is the best part of life' and then slowly pass books to us. 'How did he get 2 marks more than you? ' . 'Don't ask me. Why don't you adopt him?'. If a you get to twenties then it is time for you to get married. By thirties you should have kids, you should take care of your family and should be well settled. By forties you should make your children 'worthy' of this society. By the time you get old, just retire and expect your children to do the same. And this, my dear friends. is what is the definition of a 'perfect life' as per society. And then they tell you that this is 'your life'. Live it the way you want to. Excuse me society, may I ask how and where did you leave the scope for that?
Rules, rules and rules... There are too many of them !! I don't want rules. I just want love and support. I just want to hear that 'Don't worry dear. Whatever you decide, we are with you.' I don't want to hear that this is wrong that is right and the society does not work that way. I don't bloody care about the society. For me all that matters is my parents and my friends. This is my society and I don't want to increase the diameter any more. I don't care what Mr. XYZ would think or say at my back if I did anything wrong. Why should I? I want o make my own decisions. I am not saying I might be always right. But at least I would know in the end that it was my fault and I would not blame any one else. I had a very funny conversation sometime back. I was trying to convince somebody to let me make my own decision and this is what I got in reply, " Listen. If you make your own decisions and if they go wrong, you will blame yourself first and then you will blame us that why did you let me make that decision. But if you go as per the society and if anything goes wrong then you blame your fate that this was meant to be and God wanted this to happen." I was not in position to laugh out at that time else I would have rolled on ground and burst out laughing.
So here is my point of view. Life is like a game of football and the society is trying to make you the ball so that they can kick you and do whatever they like to. It is up to you if you want to be the football or not. I have decided. I don't want to..
So what do you decide guys....??????
