bohemian revolution

Am I caught up with it?

When I ask, 'Is it a sin to have big dreams?'
The reply, 'It is not. But as you chase your dreams, you step into dangerous waters.' (so it seems.)

When I ask, 'Is it wrong to be unconventional?'
The reply, ' It is not. But if others don't do but you do, there has to be something wrong with it.' (so they say.)

When I ask, 'Is it of no good to elevate the strata of society?'
The reply, 'It is not. But the process of going higher is.'

WTF? I would say it again. WTF?

If being resilient is bad for the soul, I beg to differ.
If being visionary is over-zealous, I beg to differ.
If being industrious is being in the rat race, I beg to differ.
If being ambitious is overly self-emphasized, I beg to differ.
If being democratic is not performing, I beg to differ.
If being alternative is the world, I beg to differ.

Reiteration of the day: I beg to differ.

This is not how it should be taught. A brain is given to you to think and think you should using your brain.

It is absurd that life should be lived in a snail-paced, laid back, fulfilled, comfy when an absolute universe around us is revolving faster than a level 5 hurricane. (and gaining speed.)

I believe if everything is in accordance to your blueprint, you'll always make it there even by high waters or falling earth.

Every single time I contemplate over this, seems to me that I am always inveighing against the dogma of the pillars. But if an absolute obedience makes a good saint, does it mean a sensible amount of rebellion makes a Judas?

My brain vessels are swelling. I stand by my stance. Oyasuminasai.

'Take a risk, take a chance and reap the reward of out it.'
