| Stop This Train...John Mayer at his best according to me. The song got me thinking as soon as it started playing. The guy has defined so many lives in one song. Stop this train.....I wanna get off and go home again....As I look back a few years , I'm very surprised at how much have i changed and how much I have evolved over the years. What would the 10 year old version of myself think about the present me ?
I do not like the speed I'm moving at. Nothing's steady . Everything and everyone is changing by the second. I look around myself and see different people and the different ways they react in different situations . Einstein once said " The only thing constant is Change ". Beautiful thought.
I wish there was a way to just pause. Pause for a moment to relax. To rest. But I guess the only time we rest is when we die. Even while sleeping our body's performing a number of operations , we are dreaming about things that can happen and that could have taken place. Every second we are onto something new. The movie which was supposed to have "woken up a generation" ,i.e., Rang De Basanti is still talked about , is still admired...but the message it put across went to a total waste. But lets get back to the topic. This movie had a dialogue " our one foot is resting in yesterday.....the other one's in the future that is why we are being forced to piss on the present ". Why can't we just Stop The Train ? Why can't we just Grow Up Once Again ?
What if we grew up having the wisdom and the knowledge we have now ? Wouldn't it be a bit easier ? We are always striving for perfection . We always want more . Our expectations knows no bounds . Tyler Durden says in Fight Club " Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. "
Now that movie said...if you can't stop this train then Finish It ! The movie had an invention called "fight club" to act as a vent for the "great depression". But thats not how we have to move. Because this is not how the world functions. And thats the beauty of life where every mind and every soul is striving to attain peace through something or the other. We may cry , we may fuss but we will never be able to stop the train. The train that is known more commonly as life. We'll have to learn how to move on and keep moving. Do not loose faith. Never give up .
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
