Old Wine in a New Bottle



What has started off as a way to distract my distraction will hopefully turn into something meaningful as I write on..
To start with, the reason why the line on top says Old Wine in a New Bottle is because it precisely describes the way I think. My ideologies as I believe are rather conventional for what seems an unconventional age that we’re living in.
The age of achievements, the age of aplomb, the age of attitude and now an age of carrying arrogance with élan. The age where the mind has pushed boundaries that people never knew had existed before, the age where the mind’s power is at its greatest leading mankind to unimaginable heights.
Among this entire extravaganza, there is one thing I long for…SIMPLICITY. Simplicity of word, deed, emotions and existence. An important virtue, a characteristic feature of humans, which we now seem ignorant of. The complexity around our lives is just a by product of an overworked mind which has very well taken care of how things could be made easy but not simple.
Easy grades, Easy work, easy money, easy friendships, easy relationships. Anything around is just as easy to work for as it is to work against it. While access to the most significant things in life has become easier like never before, our new age mind unfortunately does not provide us with a manual of easy maintenance of such possessions. What follows after an easy access to life is a complex struggle of sustenance.
If only there was a way out which was just as easy.. One long lost solution which I can think of, which could possibly be a coolant to our mind working overtime to radiate power is... to... SWITCH IT OFF...
Listen to your heart in every walk of life... Let your heart take you over... Life’s simplest that way...
