Today's Standard Lifestyle is pathetic

Humans are wrapped with emotions, creativity, dominance, cruelty and selfishness. Here the emotion includes love, anger, happiness, sorrow, etc. Have you ever noticed that we all are driven by these emotions throughout our lives? The environment and its effects determines the emotion we experience, it is scientifically called as psychophysiological experience – the influence of environment in our brain accompanied with chemical/hormonal reactions in our body.

During the childhood we all are influenced by the people, environments around us. Recent studies have concluded that this process starts when the foetus starts develops in its mother’s womb. How beautiful? We are learning from the very first day of our life and till our death, but still there are many things that we still need learn. Emotions are playing a vital role here.

We have been always told to live a life that somebody else already experimented and lived/living. Should we really follow this protocol? We are going to school, learning languages, then math, science, history, etc. And then it goes on like this college, career, work, love, marriage, family, money, children, their careers, grand children, death, and fulfilment. Is that all about life? Are we really going to be satisfied with this kind of life? Don’t we have to ask ourselves how much we have tried to understand the life and how often we searched the true purpose of life?

A typical adult gets up every day and go to school or work and spend his time there for 10 hours/day and then home, follow up works, some family time, TV or Internet, friends which will take 6 hours/day. And then 8 hours sleep. Doesn’t this sound like some machine which will run for the most of the day and take some rest and starts again the next day? Oh man, I am really pissed off with this routine life which is going to last till the end. I really hate the monotony of the life which we call as a standard life, which will definitely leads to frustration, anger, depression, etc in a longer. We are working hard to make money, to gain power, we compete with each to exceed in performance and for a better life. But we fail to lift the lives of other fellow human beings who don’t even have food to survive. Doesn’t it sounds like some old tales? Yes, we still have all those cave/hunter style life programmed in our brain. We strive hard to excel in everything and the better ones get better lives, which is simply survival of the fittest. In my next blog, let us see a lot about the lives of our ancestors and how cruelly they built nations, empires to gain power, attention and finally for a better live. It will give you a clear picture of “the true nature of humans”.
