People are alive-they are not living

Why do they work, marry and smile then??

Hi vijayanths, your words are true. All your discussions are very worthy. Nice philosophy

I think many of these complains come to life when people have same boring routine, we should try to bring newness in life, try to go out somewhere, where we can be ourselves, enjoy some days with our family and kids....i can say that this will definitely bring change and happiness in life....i feel very good even if for one day i get food made by someone else....though i am a good cook...sometimes we get bored by the same taste all the time...change is the must in life and it also brings newness to your boring routine....

Vijay, very nice discussion. I too sometimes feel that we are simply alive and not living.

Hello anna, Nice topic again here. Yah,people are alive,but not living. I wonder how people move,talk and act like a robot. They eat becoz the body needs it,but they're not even know the taste of what they are eating. Like an arrange marriage,they get married becoz,it is a common tradition,beyond their control,beyond their will. (sorry about this,i am not saying all arrange marriage is purely arranged one,maybe some were arranged becoz of love,not sure about this one) Living alive is like dancing with the sound of love,without any music needed to grace every step of the dancers.

that's what happens when someone goes on 'auto pilot'.. they are so used to their daily routines that they become detached from reality. usually they will only respond differently if there is something to break that monotonous routine they have. other than that, the auto-pilot will guide these people throughout their days..

Your post is even though short it is poignant in reality. Sometimes I believe that your post really does bite...it is like a zombie world where everybody works, eats and perform task because they have to yet emotionally they were turning in to a cold stone with emotions getting freeze every seconds. It's like you are working and your body is performing the task yet your soul is void. It is pretty scary to think that one day our lives would be like this. Like a robot than needs to be program so that it can perform task and function with out real emotions involved. It is happening slowly...am I right.
