Living & Leaving - I

Living seems aimless as well as leaving.
The only aim remains, if eyes opened wide & seen, is accumulation. Accumulation of wealth, power, fame & ironically even fats, cholesterol & like. Think of ever mounting mental pressure which body can barely copes up with. Travelling in air-conditioned luxury car just cannot provide the comfort it meant for. The fellow is perspiring just by the thought of what is ready for him on reaching office. Sleeping on the cozy bed gives sleepless nights. Booze & fags has become second nature. Whole day & night the thought of accumulation & fear of loss mounts like ever increasing debris. No one seems satisfied.
Today’s CEOs’, COOs’, CMDs’ & the whole lot of race has become so lusty that they just want even more, the better than the best. Their want to accumulate is on & on & on. They throw pieces of benefits, dividends onto the employees & get work done to the extent of squeezing them till last drop of blood. When any normal person employed to run his household gets trapped into the vicious circle & looses on both the front. Poor man cannot keep pace with the ever increasing demands from the office he works for. Also, gets far & far from his own family by virtue of not being able to give time & love they deserve.
In totality one can enjoy his life till he holds healthy body & sound mind. Rest is nonsense!
Ever given a thought, not a single creature crawling, swimming, flying or walking accumulates even a bit of his requirement? It’s only mankind does so. Money must insulate one from the external miseries & not act as misery by itself.
If one gives a minute an hour i.e. twenty four minutes a day, every day on, what am I doing? Why am I doing so? Where am I heading? What’s my aim of life? Everybody’s life will be guided missile & not backfired one.
