Travel for the next dimension



Well sometimes life is not that easy. You seem to be confused what you really want and at times, may be, a little more ambitious of what you want of it. Time isn’t changing but people change. It is time that keeps travelling forward and humans, on this journey, carry along with them their experiences, feelings, characters etc. And maybe sometimes few people don’t because that does not bother them.
Travelling can add a dimension to the way you think about life. My eyes open when I am travelling. All the rest of the time I am just mechanical. You know at times you come across certain people and places that shake you. I am not being selfish here but I do say thanks that I am not in their place.
If we look at a life of a single person, it is a journey like we all know. There are lives which are an open book to others. We can see their journey. These people are always in limelight. Consider the life of a great politician, a liked artist, an admired philosopher and many more. Their life is transparent to others because at some point these people would have made a difference in mass, either negative or positive. And there are lives which are private to you. Entwined with several other lives, mostly with similar scale of living, we keep living and react actively or passively.
Now where does travelling take you to? For me, travelling is a living art. It is a living experience. It widens your capability to observe people and places. It becomes more challenging when you travel to places you do not know. It gets merry when you travel to places with a company you like to be in. When you travel you are most likely to be set apart from the kind of people that I mentioned earlier.
I have seen people that are not normal like the common. They do not know why are living and for what. They do not have ambition or a goal. They live because they have to. It is weird to think why creation would make a place for this people. We humans have categorized humanity in different scales like color, race, religion and class etc. and these people I see lie in all the scales. Yet we humans compete, we differentiate ourselves from others and strive for something which we do not really know.
Sometimes this is all too much for me. There is a Supreme above all of us. It is His work. Way beyond our thinking and understanding. I take time, I breathe, to realize it is life and one in this creation. It is the world we are. Signing off for now!! J
