While driving down to work today I noticed that the roads were absolutely empty! No traffic...not many people walking around....
There was a particular stretch of nearly 5 kms where there was no other living being, besides me (which is otherwise quite a busy road) ! And it gave me a kind of peace...it was great to drive all alone on that road...the way I wanted...slow...fast...very fast ! and sing along with my favourite songs on my player....it felt good !!
That's what got me thinking.....what would it be like to have a land ( and i don't mean a piece of residential land...but more like a small city) that was.....ONLY MINE !!
Nobody else could be there without my permission!
Today for a change i am envious of those billionaires who can afford to buy a private island !! WOW!
Imagine....just taking off to this island when you want to get away from the daily routine, from all the chaos, from the cranky and complaining people, from the never-satisfied Boss....
Being on your own...doing what you want...imagine not having to explain to anyone why you just want to oversleep....not have breakfast...just laze...and sip on margaritas...or beer..or whatever catches your fancy from the hour U want !! Not having to explain to anyone why you don't want to talk....or why you are just staring blankly at nothing !
That's what I would like to call FREEDOM - On the eve of Independence Day....
AH! The DIVINE DISCONTENT!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Voyage of DISCOVERY is not the finding of a new landscape but SEEING with NEW eyes... in a way, its like being FRESH, all the time.
The opportunity is right in front of You!
hmm...it is definitely discontentment and frustration !!
ReplyDeletebut here I wasn't focusing on the discovery but more on the freedom from it !
not about finding something with new vision...but being away from all eyes !
not about the perspective of looking at the world..but to have a MOMENT...which has nothing to do with the world...which is only YOURS !!
