A cobweb. It is delicately woven. Just strong enough for the builder to trot on it. Strong enough for the builder to get his/her desired. But weak, very weak by its very fabric and it's reason for existence.Straining, swaying suspended in the middle of no where.Torn but re-build as it dips in time.
Such is our guard. Our mental fort. Our barriers to what lies around us. We carefully weave a list of dos and don'ts sometimes we are taught these for our own safety. Forever we survive in these limits of woven shackles. We believe we are doing fine. We get food. We get some company by people who get caught in our web. Who carefully pass the guards. Make their way into our lives. We define it to be perfect. We extend our boundaries. We expand these webs. But want we fail to realize is we are still restricted. We are bounded. We get restless. We get paranoid and rebuild theses webs if we face a blow.
Why can't we just suspend in the air? Not know in which direction to move? When every road invites us to an unknown adventure. Why can't we smile at a passing stranger? Why can't we take more chances? Why do we protect ourselves? What are we protecting ourselves from? Why do we weave complexities around us? Why do we live in cobwebs?
For once let it all go! Let words from your heart resonate with the world. Walk. Run. Do something. Forget what will follow. No guard. No web. A journey unrestricted. A path unknown. A pattern undefined. A life of your own.

We define it to be perfect. ---- We never find it to be perfect, we always feel that something is missing and what is that, always remain a ambiguity.....
Perfect means satisfaction from what we have and if satisfaction makes house in mind then it will harness the growth, so for growth one have to feel why he is at better position than me and why not i... and this race continues from the time to get the senses of competition till we lose them... this is what i feel..........

these questions have been bothering me a lot lately.
I think thats what makes decisions so scary in life. how do u know which is the better choice, how can you be sure that the rest of the choices you discarded wouldn't have led to better and greater experiences in life. After all we are bound by human reality and as much as we would like to take more chances, we cannot humanly exhaust all of the available options. We have to chose some and dump some. hmmmmph.
@Manasa- Thanks!
@Bharat- That is why it end on a note- Live your own life.. let not competition define your destination and your understanding of self.
@Amropali- To be unaffected by what could happen. We are constantly assuming the turn of events following a decision. A series of assumptions based on what we know till now. What is a greater experience..? We don't know..! Then why feel confused about it? If you experience a greater experience.. chuck this path take the new path. Change lanes. Where are we bounded?
"We cannot humanly exhaust all options"... we have no options. We create them. Options are again limited- thought large in number still limited. Hmmm.. but it needs more thought.
