Trapped
Am always particular about the things I do and why I do them, I guess that's why I tend to do some dumb stuff when I throw all that caution to the wind, but I do wonder when making decisions every day what goes on in the persons mind and have come to a conclusion all these are seemingly all a trap.
Quite often I ask myself "how did I get here?", I mean really wasn't there a better way or even faster way (when things are good). Ultimately there is some guiding phenomena to all things we do and somehow, they end up leading us along a particular similar path. Depending on your geographic location when you look at yourself and your peers you probably are in the same boat the only difference generally occurs due to differences of backgrounds which in turn mould our different personal characteristics or traits. These traits determine mostly how we experience this guiding phenomenon and how we eventually react to it.
Am quite sure we all familiar with the term "Rat Race" [you can google that], but I always wonder how that came into to being. We have all or most of us been put through some sadistic programming which defines from a very early age what we should do, I mean the quite common ideology of 'read that', 'eat this', 'watch this', 'do this' and your life will be perfect. We are all different beings why should we follow one simple definition of "Success", if you ask me at this particular point in my life I generally do not find the need to have a lot of money and excess wealth NO. It's part of the programming which people follow this TRAPS you into working so hard and tirelessly to have this so-called "Success". Well, I might seem to be in an aggrieved position of not having such excess wealth, but I am personally really indifferent to the matter, if one desires to have excess then one should (not by all/any means).
Given the choice of getting whatever you desire am quite sure we would never go for the same thing, of course, some intersections here and there, after all, 7 billion people on earth do the math. The common trap laid in front of us its that we should desire a particular lifestyle of excess and forsake all other things, I think the general chaos in the world arises from this.
While it's easy to say its all a trap, the alternative to it is rather elusive as the mind has been moulded by the TRAP phycology, from education, entertainment, politics, business and even religion they all offer a somewhat fixated point of operation - Do this, Get that. Got to school, get a job, get an apartment, get a car, get married, have children (send them through the same cycle), maybe get a mortgage, retire and live off a pension and that's a life well-lived. Mostly you are trapped into doing things which you may not necessarily have to do and in some cases, people end up going to extremes of selling their souls.
While I have achieved quite a few things on the list I feel it's a TRAP which satisfies few elites who control it all. fulfilling theses predefined notions does not guarantee eternal joy though some happiness can be found in it all.
