WELCOME TO MY SECOND BLOG:

“WE ARE LONG ON HIGH PRINCIPLES AND SHORT ON SIMPLE HUMAN UNDERSTANDING”

– VERNOR VINGE, A DEEPNESS IN THE SKY.

HELLO HOOMANS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN. I’M BACK WITH ANOTHER BLOG POST. SO BASICALLY AFTER THINKING FOR SEVERAL HOURS , I CAME UP WITH THE PERFECT TOPIC THAT I ASSUMED YOU ALL WILL LIKE.

WHAT STOP US FROM LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE

BUT WAIT, IS THIS THE ONLY PART WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS ABOUT? ……….WELL NO THERE WILL BE A BONUS PART IN THE END OF THE BLOG SO MAKE SURE TO STICK THROUGH THE BLOG.

THE REASON BEHIND I CHOSE THIS TOPIC FOR TODAY’S BLOG IS BECAUSE – WE ALL KNOW HOW LIFE GOES TOUGH ON US’ AND IT IS FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US. BECAUSE NOT JUST ADULTS BUT TEENAGERS, KIDS TOO GOES THROUGH STUFF THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE INVISIBLE TO OTHERS.

IN TODAY’S WORLD, MOSTLY YOUNG ADULTS AND TEENAGERS ARE STRUGGLING TO LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE . THE QUESTION RISING HERE IS ‘WHY‘ . THERE ARE/CAN BE MULTIPLE REASONS TO ANSWER THIS. BUT TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WHAT I SEE FROM MY VANTAGE POINT, THE REASONS BEING:-

1. SOCIAL MEDIA
2. RAT RACE
3. NEGATIVE INFLUENCE
4. BAD PARENTING
5. OTHER REASON

BRIEFLY TALKING ABOUT EVERY TOPIC GIVEN ABOVE:

1. SOCIAL MEDIA- IN A ERA WHERE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS ON THE TIP OF THE FINGER, AND HAS A QUICK AND EASY ACCESS , PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ON THE SCREEN. TAPPING HERE AND THERE OR SCROLLING ALL ALONG. ALSO BECAUSE THROUGHOUT OUR BUSY DAYS WHEN WE GET A LITTLE BREAK THE MOST CONVENIENT THING TO DO IS BEING ON OUR PHONE. IGNORING THE FACT THAT THE 10 MINUTE ENTERTAINMENT IS ACTUALLY DIGGING A MESS IN OUR LIFE.

BUT THE CONS DOESN’T STOP HERE. WE ALL KNOW HOW SOCIAL MEDIA WORKS, POSTING ABOUT ‘US’ OR ‘PHOTOS OF US HAVING FUN, THE HAPPY MOMENTS, ETC’ . AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THINKS THAT OTHER’S LIFE ARE BETTER AND START COMPARING THEIR LIFE WITH OTHER, GETS SAD, DOESN’T FOCUS ON THEIR GOOD PARTS OF LIFE. THEY FORGET TO NOTICE THAT THERE ARE ‘BEHIND THE SCENES’ TO EVERYONE’S LIFE, THE HARDSHIPS AND THE STRUGGLE THAT THEY DON’T POST ABOUT . BUT PEOPLE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS, DO THEY ?

WE SEE THE GOOD THINGS OTHERS ENJOY WHILE WE ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP, IMAGINING THEIR LIFE PICTURE PERFECT IGNORING OUR OWN HAPPINESS, BEST MOMENTS, LITTLE JOYS. WE FORGET THERE’S A THIN LINE BETWEEN REEL LIFE AND REAL LIFE. THE AMAZEMENT HERE IS MOST OF THE TIME WE DON’T EVEN REALISE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY GETTING MANIPULATED BY THAT.

2. RAT RACE- I DON’T THINK THERE’S AN AGE LIMIT WHEN IT COMES TO RAT RACE. RAT RACE IS JUST WAKING UP TO YOUR PROFESSION THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE CHOSEN BECAUSE OF PRESSURE OT ANY OUT FORCE AND NOT BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO . LEADING DAILY LIFE WITHOUT GOALS , WORKING 24/7 WITH TO STRESS TO JUST EARN MONEY FOR LIVING. BUT THERE IS NO POSITIVE OUTCOME FROM IT. AND WELL IT DEFINITELY DOESN’T LOOKS LIKE A SIMPLE LIFE.

3. NEGATIVE INFLUENCE- LOOK AROUND AND YOU MIGHT SEE OR ALREADY KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS IN A BAD INFLUENCE , WHERE THEY DEFINITELY SHOULDN’T BE . WELL MOST OF THE TIME, THEY DON’T EVEN REALIZE IF THEY ARE IN A BAD INFLUENCE OR NOT .

BEING IN BAD INFLUENCE CAN LOOK DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE . SO IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE LIKE THAT, TRY TO HELP THEM OR REACH OUT TO THEM BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. BECAUSE NOT ONLY THAT DISTURBS A SIMPLE LIFE BUT CAN CAUSE PROBLEM TOO.

4. BAD PARENTING- BAD PARENTING AFFECT ONE’S LIFE IN MANY ASPECT . WHEN A PARENT FORGETS THEIR BASIC AFFECTION TOWARDS THEIR CHILDREN, NEVER UNDERSTANDS THEM, COMPARES, ABUSES ETC. THESE THINGS NOT ONLY SNATCHES THEIR CHANCE OF LIVING A GOOD LIFE, BUT ALSO TEND TO TAKE A HUGE TRAUMA TO THEIR MIND FOR LONG. LISTEN TO THEM, BE THERE, GIVE THEM THEIR OWN SPACE. THAT IS THE LEAST ONE CAN OFFER TO THEIR OWN CHILDREN .

THERE ARE MORE THINGS THAT MIGHT STOP PEOPLE FROM LEADING A SIMPLE LIFE.

A SIMPLE LIFE DOESN’T MEANS A LIFE OF LUXURY OR A LIFE WITHOUT PROBLEMS OR ANY SUCH MATERIALISTIC THINGS, A SIMPLE LIFE IS WHERE YOU’RE HAPPY , YOU HAVE HOPES, YOU HAVE COURAGE, YOU KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE UPS AND DOWNS AND THAT LIFE WONT BE SAME EVERYDAY. YOU ARE UNIQUELY YOU AND SO DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO OTHER’S POV. MAKE YOUR OWN. LIFE IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS.
