Of Monsters and Men – Dirty Paws (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty)
I would never spill or trade or waste my time over glowing screen. I very well know we’re all guilty of this non-regulated, addictive, pacifying, draining, darkening and unsurprisingly meaningless side of information overproduction and overconsumption at par.
For most of my time, I’d rather stay purely bored and empty and wandering and yawning and restless and rejoicing and calm,… one or the other instead of handing it over to my selfish genes who seek dopamine pumps in the form of likes, loves, followers, comments, shares and views.
No, I’ll never expect that the world would one day go congruent or in anyway align parallel to my way-of-life’s template. No! Because, I’m fine accepting my ephemeral identity is no less than but a grain of sand amid an ever-expanding vastness of the universe. It’s okay by me if i live an ordinary life and perish the same.
. . .
So, yes, for me, I am for as long as I am alive. That’s it!
I stress, let’s appreciate each of our breathes passing in and out our lungs, and forget all the feckery constructs of rights and wrongs.
I say, let’s be truly respectful and honestly grateful for we are alive, and start from there.
I say, we harness the best from all the technologies we surround ourselves with and not give in all our time and energy — mindlessly.
Carpediem!
p.s. The secret life of walter mitty is a must watch slow movie by one of my favorite actor –> Ben Stiller.
