Weird morning to wake up to...
The first view, from my usual good old balcony was that of a huge monstrous JCB (earth mover) tearing down the house that stood besides our building for God knows how many years...!!
The effort put in by the JCB was minimal... It felt like the hand of God is taking down things and destroying mother earth... What a spectacle ... !!!
Then the realisation dawned... I did not know why the house was being taken down or even who stayed there !!!!
What a thought... You get up in the morning, first sight of the world you see is that of destruction and you don't even know why is the destruction taking place and even more weird.. who stayed at that place ?
It was a regular house which stood at the same place everyday, and I didn't even care to observe it properly...
It was not my house, neither did any of my friends/relatives/family stayed there, neither was I going to be affected by its "demise"... But it was a perfect example of taking things for granted...
What struck me the most was, how we live everyday just because we have a life, not observing, not caring, and taking things for granted. And then a day comes when something is lost and we repent.. I guess this is human tendency !!!
Yes it surely turned out to be a philosophical morning... but helped me to dig deeper and think harder.. and yes... observe, care and take note of things happening around...!!
Shallow perceptions... yes indeed.. shallow perceptions .. !!
Better gear up for something deeper... !!
