Beauty and Cynicism

I just read a beautiful blog entry…a poem describing the beauties that lay hidden in the day to day chores that are taken for granted….it made me wish had I such a vision to see them…but then a darker thought overcame. Sometimes I do have such visions… I stare at the trees swaying to the rhythm of wanton winds…I gaze upwards into the stars, trying to find patterns. Speaking of stars what fascinates me most is that when looking at them we are looking at the past, maybe none of them exist…who knows? I love watching toddlers playing joy fully…and THEN…

I begin thinking how this happiness is but a tempting crust to a bitter apple…how the smiles guise the malice…such thoughts come and spoil all the atmosphere…I feel enlightened at such moments thinking how I cant be duped, then I feel miserable on not ever being able to enjoy a moment of joy….

“Where ignorance is bliss,

'Tis folly to be wise”

"Speaking of stars what fascinates me most is that when looking at them we are looking at the past, maybe none of them exist…"...a nice way of thinking and it made me wonder if that could be the case then how the past and the present stay under the same sky..each always co-existing together....and yet how for us...its always about moving on..silly but fascinating...

love Litun:)

Sorry for the late reply...you know this is a thing i have thought so many times...when in a good mood where the limits of sanity blur off...i even think that this is the secret to time travel...but i always come out of such trances hopelessly trapped within a inside a million blind alleys..
