dark days are good days

dark days are best for reflection. like today, the sky was overcast, and it gave me another opportunity for my personal reflection.

as the birds chirped all around me, i could sense an overwhelming feeling of freedom run through me. life is about choices, and sadly, in this world, freedom has not been given its chance. everywhere, i see people slogging their asses off, working for money. money is the blood that drives our lives, and not blood itself. life, is all about money.

in school, i see characters. people who make obvious efforts to make an impression, to leave a mark. efforts that are too obvious that sometimes, it makes you think about what they do. it is true that success comes not without hard work, but hard work doesn't always attribute to success.

many a times i have told people around me how much i dreaded going to school. i am learning the same thing as all others do. what makes me unique, what makes me stand out? i believe that studying the same thing doesn't allow me to do so. then i looked at those who are very much passive, focusing on their studies all the time while secluding themselves from the outside world. all i can say is that failure would befall them.

failure is a subjective term, and is often compared to success. personally, success is greatness, and the ability to live the life i've always wanted. happiness, freedom and a life that falls in place, at any place in time. that is my success. i want wealth, both with money and life. i want to swim in an ocean of money, and in the sea of life. i want to be full of them.

and i often think of the future. how it would be like, and how i would live it. my future is always dark, in a literal sense because i imagine my life in the future, living in a penthouse with a lovely wife, admiring the tears of heaven beat down on the people beneath.

to those of you reading this, let me post you something to ponder about. how do you want your life to be? living on margins, sufficiently paying off debts of your loans, be it cars, credit facilities and housing, with your paycheck? you would rather work to make someone else rich, and make it barely through life, rather than work to make yourself rich? would you still choose to remain ignorant at this stage in life and take it as it comes? would you let life control you, or would you rather control your life? would you rather sleep now and enjoy your dream, only to wake up in cold sweat knowing that your life isn't the way you wanted it to be?

wake up friends. you are on the wrong side of the bed.
