Rat Race


Today when I was sitting in the coffee area with different set of people and the topic of discussion was the Development Center pros & Cons. Since, I never had any experience in this front so I took back seat in the discussion and was testing my listening skills. After some time along with listening I started observing people, their body language, their thought process, and their way of expressing things. Some of them were very aggressive, some had issues in expressing what they wanted to say, some were filled with lots of negativity and some were like scared to talk… but everyone had one common thing, they were all heading in the same direction and none of them had any clue which direction was that.

After what seems like a long time I lost the track of the conversation. I was now in my own world but I was still observing them. I know it’s little rude to say but from where I was seeing they appears to be like any other rat in the rat race.

Reason: They are doing what they are doing because many people were doing the same thing. They were least bother to know why they are following this particular path…. They were completely blank about the path and about the destination. I am sure all of them have some dreams but those dreams are not fulfilled so now they don’t bother them anymore. Now they are just blindly doing what many people think is right. Even if they don’t know who are these ‘Many People’.

I felt strange for a moment but subsequently realized that universally now that’s the real story. We all are following such rat race without being aware about it. What was earlier a world of creative people is now becoming a world of machines & robots.
