The Problem

I do not care about Writer's Block, that's for lazy people who can't put their fingers to the keyboard and make magic. Writing not a skill you can learn, it's not the money that you can earn, it's not something that can be achieved by any mortal means. Writing is a gift, either you are born with it or you are not. If you don't have that gift, don't try. It will be failure and painful.

Come to think of it, it's never really about the writing. Or to expand this thought, it's never really about what we are doing. The job is not a job, the friendship is not really a friendship, the food we eat everyday is not really for sustenance (You can very well survive for at least a month if you don't eat). There is always a bigger picture. Always. There is always something bigger going on behind the screen of what you see. There IS a bigger purpose. Everything we do, everything we see, everything we say, feel, touch, hate, love is just another link in the chain of events.

What is all this leading to?

I don't know.

We all have to reach our own destinations. And whether you like it or not, life is going to drag you down to your final home, it depends on you whether you reach there kicking and screaming with mud on your knees, or with a winning grin on your face.

It's late at night as I write this and my mind is full of thought. The mind never stops thinking. There are just too many thoughts. And they are good thoughts at that. The only thing needed is to put those thoughts "out there" and infect, inspire, or inform as many people as I can. Why? Because thinking alone is no fun. If I am troubled why don't you join me and share this feeling.

Now, quick, the order of traffic lights, red on top or green on top?

Goodnight.
