A Coward's life

Have you realized? We all live a coward’s life. Always running away from oneself. We prefer the ugliness outside to the ugliness within. So we run. But run where? Where to? The further we run from ourselves, the more demons we encounter! And these demons are like the heads of Ravana. You try and sever one head, and its once again back in its place, with mocking laughter!!!

Why are we so afraid to look within? Why do we spend our whole life pretending to be someone we aren’t? Why do we find it so difficult to live with oneself that we are constantly yearning for company?

Loneliness isn’t that shameful! What’s really fake is the emotional politics we constantly play to fulfill our relationship requirements.

I believe we are now genetically conditioned to believe that we are social animals. We are merely animals who prey for acceptance! Socially and emotionally. In fact our whole existence is based on the principle of acceptance. You exist because I accept your existence. Otherwise, who are you?

The moment one asks the question-“ Who am I ?” you enter the realm of self-realization. You enter a world of your own. A solitary world!

Are you ready for it? Am I ready for it?
