Part of the reason as to why I am writing this is so that I can always remind myself what it is that is truly important in life so that it can help me hold the right perspective of things. It was just a thought that this might really be a better start to my steemit so that I can hold the right perspective of things. Hope the Steemit community likes this.
So, let's see: My fears - Sure I have many.
don't have a girlfriend, I fear I may die alone tomorrow
won't have a girlfriend, because I look pathetic
won't be able to make a name or a place for myself in this world, because I am just too average.
There are just so many other trivial things; makes me feel so, so, so alone.
But what is that one thing I fear the most?Wouldn't that be something that shakes me up? What should it be that I feel terrified about? There's just so much to pick from after all. I mean, am I alone in thinking that I am so unworthy in the face of legendary people we live amongst and these legendary times we live in? Things are changing so fast these days, aren't they? I can almost feel that 'humanity' is finally moving forward towards a glorious future. I bet my parents, grandparents or their parents never ever felt like that about their times. But then, even today all I seem to be trying to do is making ends meet. I draw myself into these virtual worlds feeling so goody goody about it while I am really too limited to bother about others.
Living here in India, everyday I see
Poor, desperate people by the road sides living miserably while others casually ignore them and go by their own lives.
Rich people building themselves humongous palaces just outside of which, maybe in the next lane, people are forced to sleep just under the open sky.
People struggling just to survive.
The world still becoming worse-off than it was before.
So really, what are we doing, just trying to survive? What am I doing? Will I die tomorrow with no one to shed an ounce of remorse that someone good passed? My friends and families will, hopefully, mourn me but will that really be enough? Why did I consume all these resources all these years of my life? I took so much out of this earth, these people around me. Why was I here and where to will I go? When I die tomorrow, having done nothing for my fellow beings, having achieved nothing of unique significance, having only simply passed-by, will that be something to be proud of and worthy to meet my forefathers in heaven? Will I even qualify to go to heaven?
My greatest fear - What if I die tomorrow or any day later, and I die an insignificant man, in my own eyes.
PS- if this even remotely applies to anyone else, would you care to share your thoughts?
