Speculation : Problems and Us

 Now, for a moment, let us consider that we are the problem. We are its source. For a moment, let us take a break and murmur voluntarily that we do not devote our soul to music but do it for a living. If you are an author, assure yourself that you write for the market and not for your readers. And perhaps never for yourself. Not a single word is pristine. It is purposely crafted. Hence, it is beautiful.

Because nobody is a lonely victim. Victimise, get cornered, lament publicly, argue rationally that you are not a part of all the unjustified blame and deeds thrusted over you, gain virtual sympathies while creating inhuman delight for others, spread negativity, look for the next person to avenge your pessimism of the world and its people–and the vicious cycle continues.

Claiming in social media that we are a devotee of art, that we are being unjustly carried into a vortex of an unpleasant climate of people around you, even more interestingly that your earlier decision beckoned this nemesis (see, you finally start accepting that you are its source albeit with resignation) or that you expect nothing out of anything not only makes us a self-proclaimed messiah but also a lonely one.

For a moment, let us know when to stop questioning or more sensibly, the answer to our question is not to question any further but accept certain things in life. We cannot always win. Someone’s defeat makes us a winner. Win-win situations are rare.

Sounds superficial and too simplified?

Yes.

Most of the solutions to the complex problems are.

Try this for the next five years and then come to me and say, it does not work.
