Am thinking if things still make sense in this world.
We live a life that makes no sense. I have problem understanding the fact that we ourselves chose this kind of life... having had an option to do something else with it. But we chose it and made it the way it is today. We get up everyday, have set a routine for ourselves to follow and thats it. Think of it, as human race, our life follows the following stages : We Grow - We Reproduce - We Die. Everything that we do is to support these stages in life, kinda entertainment to go through these phases. Its the same thing that the entire animal kingdom does, we have added sophistication to it by going to schools, getting married, working for someone or doing business. We have started relating our growth to the entertainment factors.
People, just think for a while, about the early days of human life in this planet. Think what would have been happening at that time, and how it is shaped today. At some point in time, some one, sure intelligent enough, decided that we need someone to do things for us. So instead of me doing things for myself, i want you to do it for me. Thats where to concept of WORK evolved.
Why do anything myself, that I can get it done from you. Of course, the way it started was with bonded labor and now we get paid for it, but apart from the money thing, there is very subtle differences between the two. You think you have the choice of doing what work you want to do, well that choice is only hypothetical. What ever you do, you are doing something for others and getting paid for it. Be in research, consultancy, programming, teaching, policing.. what ever. And we chose this since we don't want to do everything ourselves and would like to get things done from others.. so that they can get money and get someone to do something for them as well. Its the circle in which it follows.
If only, the human race would focus on the very basic thing and find some facts about the purpose of their own existence, we would know where we are and where we want to go. We are currently all blind.. and living life with no sense and sensibility... just running the mad race...

i call it the quater life crisis
(thnks for inspring me to write something on...i think they do it the best...and allow me to quote the big guns...
"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. ..Advtg has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need...we're the middle children of history, man...no purpose or place. We have no Great War...no Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars...but we won't...and we're slowly learning that fact. and we're very, very pissed off"

Life is beautiful and as you said it all depends on us how we can make it more beautiful..
But sometimes we really act insensible and make it miserable...
