The Self-sustaining Matrix...

Is it necessary that what we want we never get, or is it that we never like what you get?
What is the actual thing? I mean you sit and wonder and all you can see is No Color!!!
You hear thing like “Life is full of obstacle illusions” etc etc…
Is it that, our life is a matrix created by the complexity of the society around us?
Is it that these supposedly illusions are the actual things after all as we also live in a matrix and thus we never are able to overcome these?
Why this inertia….. How can I free my mind…. How can walk the path instead of knowing it….
When will I stop plagiarizing and think something of my own and write something of my own….


Too many questions and so few leads and so few answers…..

It is true when my friend said this… Amrut…. R u a rut by character… I defended saying no way!!
But come to think of it, the only I can think of right now is Black and ladies and gentlemen “black is no color!!!”
We have loads of unanswered questions in the initial paragraph; the most important being “is it that we never get what we want?”
Most people agreed with me when I said the answer to this question as “yes”; the most important thing being that their faces also frowned just like mine.
I asked the same question to my dearest friend Antara. She also agreed with it but there was an orangey twist in it (you got that right!!! taken from Smirnoff…).
She said that with a BEAUtiful smile on her face. That opus of a smile was mind blowing and enthralling, but then was indeed surprising.
Antara who can sense even the change in my pulse, gave me one of her smiles when I need to ask her specifically what I need to know.
So I ventured, “Darling, I am entitled for an explanation of the enthralling experience I had. So please will you?”…
With her usual composure, she started explaining…
“See my dear, man does live in a matrix created by himself; a matrix which has the complex society and his aspirations in it. The great men, the creators of these societies were very smart.
They created this matrix in such a way that a person should always dream of achieving something new, something better than what he has. So my dear in doing so, an illusion, which is not much of an illusion though as you rightly pointed out, is created where all think that they can’t get what they want and that’s the way the society is; the matrix is. But this very nature of the matrix is what is self sustaining and helps in the continuous and astronomical growth of the society and thus the individual. So if you get what you want, or rather you are “satisfied” with what you get the society will never grow!!! Hence the sense of no color is actually a beautiful realization of the fact that we can’t stay rut in this matrix created by us. We need to look for colors, more colors and more colors…..”
Just as she finished saying this a song started playing in my mind…

I see life and it's passin' right before my eyes
And the past is the past don't regret it, time to realize
…..
……
It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul
……
…..
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
Won't be coming back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
….
….

hmmm I guess the Morpheus has told the inevitable now.... so r u the one??

but if u ask me I think it's more of the later...it is that we never like what we get

well everyone craves for a few things... you crave for money but have a good time with your friends say Antara and those who have money may be crave for having a friend like Antara (as they its always lonely at the top) ... both of the parties don't realise that they have something which the other craves for and vice-versa.


as far as the matrix explanation is there I think its as difficult as the architect's dialogue in Matrix Reloaded...

and I don't think society can really grow at the expense of its members getting frustrated for non-achievement.... its strictly individual if someone is satisfied at a particular level or pushes oneself to the next level...

"its strictly individual if someone is satisfied at a particular level or pushes oneself to the next level... "
Our society the matrix we have created, does it really allow us to be satisfied at a particular level?
Since the society and the individual have become so intricately bound that even though it is the society that drives this "push" to the next level, we feel the option is with us to go or not... I fell it is another BEAUtiful illusions created by the matrix...

@KT... Bhai just follow the link that is there on Antara... I should have removed the word friend from there... You will know why once you go to that link....

"It don't matter where it takes me

Guess this sums up what we experience today….
Many times I try – some times successfully to say to myself that I am satisfied with things around me… but then that feeling is transitory… some one – antara or some external factors pull you out of the so called inertia – inertia of being in rest.
There is feeling to do something more…. No matter how insignificant…. But something..

How it helps to ‘grow’ the society – I don’t know.. I am even not sure of the true definition of the word grow… but I guess this will continue… no matter how hard you try.. no matter how much you put yourself in a shell… you will have something to do even in that shell also….

One more thing I realized, after reading this blog.. these days I am writing pathetically… without thinking… without reason…
Great blog…
