I will be the gladdest thing under the sun
I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.
~Edna Millay
Isn't it strange that we focus on one thing and leave aside
everything else. Don't we all are committing a personal offence by missing so
much in this wide vibrant world. We all born in a particular family. Every
family relates itself to a particular belief system. Though we've not inherited
that belief system genetically somehow out of established social practices
every child gets this gift from their parents. One
peculiar thing about elders- they are too adamant to change. They are kind of
close to other's interpretations. But, look at the world- it is full of
different types of belief system and faiths... Each having their own fortes and
classifiable lineaments.. What if we can experience or try and inquire about,
if not all then, as many as we can.
I find it hard to tell you
the mystery that surrounds
brobdingnagian ocean of
things I don't know yet
and the ones which are all around.
Some of them were forced
quite literally
how I unlearn them
how do I forget ?
It'd be so fun
if I can touch them all
know each one of them
tie them all, on a single string
why I have to choose one
when I can have million.
Who stops us ?
what stops us ?
the nameless, faceless people,
we call them "society"
or the real obstacle is within
the coveted red-tapism
and self-fabricated anxiety.
We all crave for having good friends. The lucky ones have
them in many numbers. But, we never stop ourselves from making more friends.
Throughout the life we keep on adding layers and layers of relationships.
Bringing as many as we can people in our social umbrella. Nothing stops us from
experimenting there. Similarly when we learn and read we refer many books...
the more the merrier. Music is known for bridging the gap a language creates..
then why can't we develop tolerance for other faiths. When it comes to religion
why adopt this isolationist approach. Touch everything, learn everything, feel
everything. Do not stick to just one.... there's so much fun and life beyond
What and What nots !!
