Consciousness

We think we're conscious but are we really?

Are we aware of our feelings and what we feel NOW is it what we really feel!

So many times we fret over petty issues while we may have choose to not react in a certain way and that could have set things apart for the rest of our day.

We make our happiness depend on the number of coins we get in change from the auto driver or the way the ATM machine gives us the money, though in both cases the sum would be the same but still we do get affected when it doesn't go the way we expected.

We get angry and frustrated over that person in the street who walks ahead of us because of whom we couldn't get ahead at our peace but we fail to realise, he didnt get two eyes behind him to see we need the space to go ahead.

We smile and get happy when we see a toddler on our commutation while we fail to pay attention out of our phones when our own kid need our time.

We walk listening to the music rather than deciding to pay attention to what our friend walking next to us want to say.

We go against people who ask for reservation while we ourselves ask people to get up from the seats that are kept reserved for certain categories of people.

We wish our life could change while we hardly decide to change any of it.

We get jealous to see others life as perfect but we decide not to see the efforts they put in to make that living.

We decide to make rules for others on how they should behave and what they should do while we fail to draw the line between personal freedom and choices.

We want intimate relationships but we don't want to learn forgiveness.

We want peaceful mind but we don't want to practice meditation.

We want healthy body but we don't want to workout.

We want to stay protected but we fail to learn self-defense.

Our choices are always the opposite of what we wish and yet we want the results our way.

We fail to consciously make choices and make life better.
