Life and things like that..

Its funny how everytime you think you have everything you need... you are made aware of the one thing you want the most.. and I don't mean those new shoes or the great new movie.. I mean things like the perfect career or the perfect guy.. Its not like being put on the crossroads.. but then.. its not like you aren't there either.. so how do you know your decision is right?? Is it that one minute of clarity that makes it right?? Or will the hours of indecision and unhappiness that follow it make it wrong?? How do you decide if what you decided will keep you happy for long?? Living for the moment might seem like the best solution.. but then I never really think that solves the problem.. there are a lot of lil things in life that will make you happy, like that unexpected phone call, or a compliment from a stranger.. but do you really want every minute of your life to be that way?? or does some level of comfort bring in a greater happiness??

Well, To be honest, I have always thought about it too.
But you know what, that comfort zone never ever comes in life. You are always left yearning for more and more. Its not that you are selfish, its just that things are never, and never will be perfect. There's always something more you would want.

About living in the moment, true, that does not solve the problem, but Vids, do we really have another option? You spend a medicore life( no matter how many plans you made some day), and those unexpected things take you out of the ordinary. Give you a reason to smile about. So why not live in the moment? Outside the moment, life seems to drag, dontcha think?

well... i know.. we all live outside the moment.. and the very fact that we are alive means we lose control.. living for the moment is about how much of that control you wanna let go.. and how much you wanna keep.. does letting it go really mean that life is gonna be drab..
