The illusion

A random thought for my first blog...

As the realization of the completion of a considerable time on my first job (18 months that is) sets in, my thoughts are as random as ever. I still claim to belong to the clan which is not sure of the what they are doing in this world.
To put things in the right perspective, I work for an advisory firm, the purpose of my job, well, is to advise!! Funny? Yes, it is!
As I go on, the concept of The Matrix seems more and more real, at least on a psychological level.
I have this dream of climbing to the 20th floor terrace of my building and screaming out loud to the world "Hey world! Do you even know Why you are doing what you are doing?"... Believe me, No body has a clue here...
It seems more like the work of a super human who has made sure that every god fearing man and woman fits him/herself into a superficial structure. A structure the purpose of which is to assimilate all mortals; expanding continuously by this addition. A structure that gives them, us, a purpose, a rationale, a sense of existence - or at least makes them, us, believe that we are doing something meaningful. When in reality, all we are doing is contributing to each other's existence and survival. Looking at it from another angle, it has become so complex, everyone believes that this superficial arrangement - of 'I doing what you want; you doing what he wants; and he doing what I want' is the sole reason for everyone's existence. One who fails to fit is a failure, a catastrophe to his/her existence!

But I don't wish to be part of this relative ... agreement! I don't want to work when no one needs my work! I don't want to depend on others for fulfilling my purpose! I don't want to work just because I exist! I don't want to be part of this brain less game!

I believe, ultimately, the choice is every individual's to make - to be part of this stupidity, which has been given many names, the modern world, the corporate arena etcetera etcetera, or live life on his/her own terms!
