we lead two lives. one is a collective life , where every action of ours is influenced, dependent and hopelessly intertwined with the people we interact with. The second life is a life that we lead silently and with ourselves.
The two lives oppose each other, wanting a maximum share out of the limited time we have.Both get intoxicated when we allow free time to each, and slowly forget that the other exists.
Awareness, then, is to realize every moment that affirmation of identity is unwanted, that we are all hopelessly time bound, and it is not given unto us to improve the world or improve ourselves. It would appear that we are bound to live each moment with passion, maximize the enjoyment of the senses - both the external and the internal.
Some however opine that dispassion is more important. They say so, to de-link the cycle of causation, and show a path devoid of pleasure and pain- thus indifference.
What is debatable,however, is whether such a dispassionate life amounts to anything at all, heading back to the bliss in ignorance affirmation.
We can however collectively solve the problem by understanding that both exists, and with our ability to choose between the two- anytime,anywhere-leads us to a freedom that we are ignorant about- the freedom to choose how we intend to live based on our circumstances in life.
Do what you want to do and what you dont want to do. We dont have much time to plan, because plans are circumstantial. in case you were wondering about the title, well , thats the after effect of my retard friend at wordpress
