JOURNEY TRHOUGH MY BAJAJI TRIP THOUGHTS
You see, the way the world is orchestrated, it capitalizes on forming opinions — similarly like the one I have now. If you do not have one, then who are you? Tossed around like a volley ball having no owner.
People have found solace in having an opinion(s). In sounding and looking “informed”. Rarely do I do it myself, that is, putting myself out of the bubble and watching how opinions clash, augment and compare to each other and most importantly how they affect our next generation.
The current generation is yet to fit in and hence still struggles with what’s true and — applicable or what’s true and — not applicable. We know and have experienced what the former generation entailed, and clearly hold opinions for what we do not want our future to look like. And despite what history says, we are defying odds. Slow process but it’s working. And although we struggle with what fits and the kind of future we want, I think we are at a good stage, just “not knowing” yet consciously aware of it. Space in the un-known.
My Random thought today, which of-course serves as an opinion too, is that, blank books/pages could be part of our future. In my very calculated research from past experiences, blank pages have given me loopholes. Loopholes to trust, believe, hope and gain a perspective of things. Concepts of life and very compassionately, ideal living with my fellow social beings.
Life and the way the universe works is predictable; well, maybe until we do something about it. Living in the present could be one of those steps. For some people it’s making plans because not every one can afford the luxury not to make plans, and for some people it’s holding opinions which turns into beliefs, and later on turns into core values.
The mind, like faith is a fickle thing too, you train it with specific information and make repetitions about a certain aspect of life and it automizes that process for all your existence. It’s partly the reason why some lessons remain with us for all our life. Until we make another insertion and decide to learn and do repetitions once again. Hence, if the way to train it topples down to “information insertion” then maybe we can leave blank pages to breathe while we wait for the next phase of reformation. This is not to say, we shouldn’t do anything, but to say, maybe make it part of the plan?(consciously) to have blank pages too. And let them create loopholes that we will always need in the future.
In the long run, I hope to entice a spark of blank pages and although I understand the importance of having opinions, I also want to bring forth a culture of consciously having nothing to say.
Ps: Let me tell you a secret, or maybe answer the question in your mind too. I wish I left this article blank too. And hopefully fill it when my loophole comes along.
