Reality is chasing. How far can you run away?


When was the last time you felt an absolute need of an escape, a run-away from everything that is troubling you, everything that is pulling you out of your comfort zone and dragging you onto the path of inconvenience. We all have our own way of escapism because very often we find out that the reality is harsh and we are not in a mood to fight. As humans, we are supposed to be strong and believe in ourselves, to take the leap of faith every now and then but sometimes turning our backs to the problems and running away seems a better option. To accept the situations is hard and to sneak away seems soothing.
Deep down we are all afraid and we all have fears, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of losing ,fear of getting lost and above all fear of a change and we try hard to avoid confronting our fears, so we hide behind our fantasies and pretend that the state we are in is the state we want to be in.
The world believes in the Newton's law of inertia that a body in rest continues to be in rest till some external force forces it to run away from that force. We all do it. Every day. Its science and we cannot deny it. So we try to keep ourselves in that state of rest and we develop methods to do that. Our own escapes.

But life is not just science it also is history and geography. It knows the secret pathways of our bitter histories and it has the power of changing everything around us in a moment. Just when we've started feeling sure of our self and the defenses we've chosen, the weather outside changes. So when it is too cold outside, the best we can do sometimes is to just wrap up ourself in a blanket and wait for the springs to find its way.

Plan some plans !

We make plans. Most of them just turn out to be things written in ink on tiny bits of papers kept and forgotten in some old books while the other lucky ones are those that are executed. Making plans is easy, making good plans is difficult and making plans that will actually work is arduous. Still we make plans because that is how we do the least we can do to decide what our tomorrow would be like. We plan because random ramblings do not necessary may take us to our destination, we have to map a way to land up there and most importantly we plan because planning is free of cost. We take utmost care in making those plans because they are supposed to give us what we want but sadly destiny batters our plans. This does not happen because our plan was wrong but because some times what we want is not what we need. The funny thing about destiny is that it does not take in account our plans. It’s painful how our plans slip out of our fists however hard we try to hold them. They fail.
Life is what happens while we were busy making other plans. Life moves on and drags us along with it. However badly we try to stick to a today, it becomes a yesterday in less than twenty four hours. Sooner or later what we got to do is turn our back to the failures and make another plan to be happy. And hey, why worry when you can always switch to plan B.
