The Attachment Game

Attachment... hmm let's see what does the dictionary state.......

It Says: a feeling that binds one to a person, thing, cause, ideal, or the like

Well so i think the root cause for all of this is feelings.... Why do people feel what they feel ? Why is something called a feeling existant within and around us? why dont we break away from the cycle of feelings and move on. Why the hell do people have these feeling when they know that they will have to suffer a lot and pay for them? Its kind of amazing... Humans never learn ... But why the hell dont we learn?? What's this ?? An addiction?? Its worse than marijuana.. People can't seem to let go ... I see no reason... and the worst of these feelings is attachment! Its like a dose of silent poison that is given to u in small amounts... or u can say its poison + drugs..... the more you like a person, the more you get attached to him/her... the more you waste your time thinking about him/her... the more you find ways to fulfill something that cannot be fulfilled...but instant gratification it is... no long term solution for it....

But well this was only one way of looking at it..there are different angles and perspectives... What happens when we lose someone... in aspect of death....What was the purpose of creation? Why is someone meant to be when in the end he knows he'll be wasted for no joy. I cannot find the reason for the cycle of life. Its amazing how man has accepted this cycle of life.... How about rebelling?? But how do we rebel...end our life? What next? Is there life after death? Are we going into another cyle where we will be trapped after it? Or as per religion i heard that after 84000 births as animals we get the life of a human being..... So if we die to be born again ... as an animal...this is a far better deal that we are living right now. We have no proof for this theory too... We'd have to ask god himself.... If There is god... or maybe a superpower..that's what i believe in....

It makes me ponder upon something... Why are we created in such a way that we dont have control over anything...it seems that we are just meant to be... and to top it we are blasted with the bomb of feelings and attachment... So what else is left .... Seriously ... lol... at this point ..analysing the whole scene makes me laugh...laugh at myself..laugh at the creations....laugh at everything around me including me... hehe ... seems i'm in a game.... a game of strategy where i choose my fate and am responsible for my actions... but why the heck am i firstly in this game ? I did not choose to play it...but that's the way it is.....

Hail the creator!

The Inner net - No, Not My Water Bottle!

I found it somewhere on the net...really worth pondering upon




Wrapping up Guri's sprained ankle, I left my water bottle at the tea stall that lent us their chairs.

We walk little less than a kilometers, and I turn to Guri and Veena and say, "Shoot, I forgot my water bottle." I drop my stuff and head back.

On the way, my first thought: "Darn, I had to make a mindless mistake on the day we are walking 42 kilometers! My body is gonna pay for this." Second thought: "That water bottle is a little banged up, but man, it's one of those unbreakable Nalgene bottles. Life will be so hard without it." Third thought: "The water bottle would've made for a nice memoir, if it survived the end of the trip. I really should've been more careful."

Fourth thought: "Hahahhaha. Attachment is so funny. You could only have five things, but if your heart is impure, you will latch onto those five things." Fifth thought: "I don't learn the easy way, so that's why I need this grueling pilgrimage. Walk on, pilgrim, walk on."

The water bottle is in the same spot, with all kinds of kids playing around it and unknowingly protecting it. I pick it up and walk back in silence.
