Enigma of Time!

We indulge in exercising. We flex. We commit to work out. We don't work out. We complain about not working out. We eat. We don't, and starve for no reason. We talk about eating good food in a good place. We talk about eating bad food in a bad place. We talk about good ambience while eating. We complain about poor service in restaurants.

We are impetuous. We are enthusiastic and live for the moment. We prepare for the future. We plan scrupulously. We are egoistic. We aim to please others. We think nobody notices our stark whimsical behavior.

We say bombastic things. We ask profound questions. We ask inane questions. We claim to speak for humanity. For men. For women. For people of our kind. For people of the other kind. We are all supposed to have similarities that connect us like threaded beads on a lace. We share common differences and different commonalities. We are all supposed to be different and unique.

We define ourselves. We denote ourselves. We like this kinda movies. We listen to that kinda music. We are duty bounded and responsible for we are told that's a sign of character. We know character is important. We carry the burden of our past on our shoulders. We mother and smother the dear ones. We are confident. We give into the circle of unknown.

We are entitled to certain things. Peace. Love. Happiness. Dignity. Universal fraternity. Freedom. Our pet peeves. We are to be treated with respect. We are to be cared for. We are to be loved for. These are important things. We get misty eyed over these tenets. We play. We have fun. We bond. We are smart. We are entitled to prestige, position and stature. We are entitled to social welfare. We are well read. We are entitled to a finer level of consciousness. We are inexperienced. The universe owes us experience.

We hop and shop. We wear good clothes. We adorn ourselves with good accessories. We outdo the undone.

Things don't work out for us. We work out the things. The world owes us this one. Things do work out. We deserve that. We form communities. The world owes us that of course. We are entitled to get invited everywhere. Everyone is. We are someone. Therefore. We socialize. We live up to expectations even if anybody doesn’t. We are entitled to get mad at anyone when we are in a bad mood.

We say things out of line, randomly. Casually. Hypocritically. Out of scope. Inarticulately. Inaptly. Irrelevantly. Irreverently. Unemotionally and incoherently. We behave juvenile. We cry over the spilt milk. We do more than what is required to be done. We stretch like elastic.

We hold persistent opinions. We don't consult anyone's opinions but our own. We entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. We have faith in lot of things. We have a strong conviction in them because they make us warm inside. We believe in them because they are honest. We don't know that of course. No one does. That again is unquestionable.

Till next time...
