Metamorphosis
Ever had the bigger note? Yes? Then you know how it feels when you need some change you don’t get it. The thing is everybody wants change. Everyday you wake up from bed, go through your normal routine, which goes something like this - brush, shit, bathe, go for work / lectures / school / cook whatever, eat lunch, continue to work / attend and so on and so forth. Everyday, it’s the same old world, same old story, same old people, same old activities, same old you, same old same old. It really gets tiresome doesn’t it? Is there an escape? Is there a way out? Is there an underlying possibility that something or maybe everything will be different? Yes! Yes! Yes! Well, otherwise why do you think I was asking all these questions? Anyways, there is a way out, there is an escape, there is something that makes you do all that you routinely do, its a small faith, call it "hope for change". It’s something like this, every morning you get up, thinking or hoping that you will get something you want, you will do something you want and you will go somewhere you wanted to. But as with most cases you land up doing what you were supposed to do instead of what you were hoping you'll do. Confusing, isn’t it? Well, agreed that this is not always true, it can’t be. There is always a part of us thinking and hoping for some kind of rescue, for some kind of change. And more often than not, there is. And what and how you feel when you get that change? When you get that escape? Relieved? Pained? Something’s missing? Happy? Sad? High? Low? It all depends on the type of change. Yes its official, there are types of changes too, a caterpillar changes into a butterfly – the beautiful kind; you are playing golf and it starts to rain - the low kind, you just came to know that you are gonna have a baby, well here we go, its the high kind, and so on. Everyday, you try to change yourself, either trying to make oneself better or trying to make oneself worse, well which ever it is, you as a person try to grow in terms of change, in terms of becoming a valid, understanding, full of wants and full of expectations Human Being, alternatively, in terms of strong, childish, immature, going back to roots, Human Being. One thing is with Humans that is very common is that they tend to change. The change is not just superficial, it covers all, the body, the thinking, the mentality, the trust, the love, the priorities, the economics, the views, the places, and more. It’s a topsy turvy when you come to think of it, its like you are not constant, you are this one person standing in the world, and the world is changing and changing you with it. Its complex, yet simple, it’s easy, yet hard, it’s a mixture, its change. And what factors influence you to change? All these factors and reasons can be summed up in one single word which is mostly defines life – ‘Experience’. You fall, you get up, walk again and try not to fall again because the last time you fell... gee it really hurt. This event changed your whole life, this little un-consequential event changed you, changed your point of view. And now imagine how vulnerable one is to change. How weak is one towards change. How much do you avoid changing? Everything changes, everything around you, everything in you, and so do you. And this truth, this revelation is constant. This change is constant. "Nothing is Constant except Change."We all know this quote, we all know or assume to know what this quote is suppose to mean, we all know what are its implications, or do we?
