PEACE

Peace!!!!
Well what's that!! Never heard of this word. Ok, it might be another word in the Oxford dictionary. Well i know about piece, when i see a DAMN HOT girl (lol), but whats peace!!!
Sometimes i think that we human beings have completely forgotten this word. Or atleast its meaning and value. We know how to make a 'piece' of heart but don't know how to find 'peace' of heart. Its really a disheartening thing for me that the ultimate aim for which humans run or should run has been completely lost in the thick fogs of desires,ambitions, greed, power,ego, esteem and other human made emotions. Why i say human made emotions because i don't think god made them. God only gave us brains and let us decide how we use it. And instead of using it to achieve peace we occupied our brains with these emotions and started ruining ourselves. 

But the question still remains that what the hell is peace!! Well for me it is a state of total emptyness in my mind. A state where i am thinking of nothing but myself. When there is a blackhole in my thoughts. Not even a single thought is hindering my mind. When there is a kind of purity in my behaviour. Sounds so hypocritical!! As if i am the perfect follower of Osho or Asaram Bapu or the contemprories. But thats true. I guess everyone wants to feel that emptyness. But our nature is such that if we get that we'll be afraid. We don't want to be empty.We don't want to be alone. We need to be recognised, praised. Who will recognise me if no one is around! If i am all alone! And this tussle goes on and on. Atleast with me.

So finally i still don't know how will i get my piece of peace. But hey!!! Its very easy. Just go to Google.com and type peace and you'll get 313,000,000 pages in .22 seconds. Its so simple. Just read them and wowwww!! you will find peace. Or you can go to Ramdev Baba and do all kinds of criss-cross and hip-hops with your body. Or you can go to a cool hill station with your beloved wife or Girlfriend( Most likely) and spend thousands of rupees and lots of energy( lol) and get that relaxation and peace.

Ain't that easy!! Well except the third one i have tried literally everything for that one piece of peace. But frankly speaking i have been in such a mess that i just threw the thought of getting peacefull from my mind. I agree that i am not peacefull right now. Well there's a long list of dormant and active volcanoes going through my mind which makes it virtually impossible to find peace. This might be everybodies condition. 

Feeling lost in the Alps, wanting to get something, don't know what. And then feeling restless for not getting that. Sometimes i just ask God that why did you gave us so much of brain. Why are we adults! Why not kids. Just look at those cute faces and you'll find them richer than Warren buffet and Bill Gates. So peacefull( Though no peace for us while they are around). But really after seeing them i remeber my old days when i used to just play, play and only play. No constant worries, no responsibilities, no ambitions, and yeahhhhhh no work!! A complete peacefull mind. Wow if God could fulfill my one wish i would have asked him to make me a kid again. But alas!! It can't happen. We have to live and screw ourselves daily to fight for our bread, for our survival. After all this is the law of nature. Survival of the fittest. So who would care for those five minutes of emptyness. Those five minutes when you are interacting only with youself. 'cos you will be wasting your important five minutes where you could have earned 1000 bucks more or could have ventured into a new business idea. And even if we care we can do nothing but simply moan on our condition.

Sounds so correct in the present context. Everybody is running for something. I am running for my career. After achieving that i would be running for something else. It seems like we are running in a marathon in which distance is measured in time. Endless. The end being our death. 

But can we do something for it!! Why not. We can. I don't think its that difficult. I don't  know the solution yet but i am positive that some day i'll achieve my peace and definetly before dying.

Kudos to those who have achieved it and best of luck to those who are thriving to get it.
