Do we really Know what we want in our life?
It is so easy to say that we want to achieve some thing, we want to be some one, we want to go some where?
I some times, wonder what people would say, if I ask them " Do you really know what you want?"
The most expected response to that question is .." I want to be an XYZ in so and so time"
Have we been taken so much by our occupations that we barely know what we would be without those? Over a period of time, jobs get into out blood, soul and brain. I remember reading it some where "Earlier, organisations used to pay the employees for the work they did with their hands. Now they do for using heart,brains and hands" Perfect quote to mention that capitalists have also invested in the human emotions of a social animal. That't the beauty...While an optimist within me says that all these do provide a better place to work. Conditions which increase the productivity of an employee. Factors which give us comfort zones and make us addicted to come back to the same place every day, a realist in me tells me " who is this fetching?" the one who invested in the entire organization? or is it the brand ?
Sometimes, I can't help but wonder on how we are habituated to live lives of habits. For some, working on schedule, for some smoking and drinking on schedule, for some praying on schedule. People may differ based on the experiences they have of these, however, what happens at the end is still unknown. May be the journey becomes easier or tougher, but what's the ultimate destination.
Do the basic biological theories of survival of fittest and struggle for existence still hold good? If yes, then where has been the development in the human race?
Its a Game
