Everybody wonders randomly…about life, about people, about relationships, about leaderships, about qualities, about quantities, about family, about foes, about money, about emotions…many focus many do not. I guess it all depends on how much time is there at hand for wondering. Rarely can people multi-task in the actual sense…eating and watching TV never counted. Every generation had something they could relate to…and amazingly so that such links were deemed global phenomena. War was an amazing attribute that many generations can relate to…my generation also does. But in reality, these “trends” brought about a sense of expressivity and freedom to the entire generation. The people really brought the real human spirit out (willingly or unwillingly notwithstanding) and raw energy was dissipated endlessly. Simplified – world wars, swinging sixties, musical nirvana, awareness and self-involvement…do add if u can recall more (though I’d like global things and not Indian concepts). Every generation gave it all from within but…. what do I do now? The questions am left asking are – are we missing something? Is this an unhealthy trend for our generation? What the fuck!!!
Everybody can divide their lives into distinct phases…some factors being carried over in the phases and some new contradictory factors developed in each phase…. whatever. For me…my earliest memory now is of me standing inside a high domed building with a shiny ceiling and eating an ice cream cone. Following that is me running high temperatures and waiting with elders on a bench outside a doctor’s clinic. Coming back to the phases past in my life so far…. the religious and obedient phase, the individual thinking and questioning phase, the loud mouthed, the cynical, sarcastic phase and arrogant phase, the indifferent and criticizing phase. Now I’d say am into self-realization and spiritualism but….the end product counts. When everyone around you says your wrong….how correct are you? To view the world in another person’s eyes…easily said but THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!! To speak in paradoxes now….doing something for everyone’s good? Thinking for everyone’s benefit? Talking on everyone’s behalf?
Do such things really happen?
Everybody who reads this….honestly I don’t know what I want to say out loud. Lol…well the movies are – fight club, good will hunting, girl interrupted, patch adams. The reason for these thoughts now maybe…am I really thinking about everybody when I do things? Should I? Shouldn’t I?
What really counts?

I couldn't understand what you were trying to express in your post. The ideas, if it contained any, were put across in a highly incoherent manner.
One of the biggest problems with our generation, more specifically our friends, is that we are tea shop socialists. We yap a lot and do nothing, we lament about the existing 'system' we are confined in, we hold long protracted debates about its 'flaws' and 'inconsistencies' and wallow in self pity, get indignant over the 'injustice' meted out to us and in the process display anger with a misplaced sense of self righteousness.
Let me concede that i'm in no way insulated from the demons that have possesed most of our friends. But i can tell you that a conscious effort is being made on my part to exorcise these demons.
