What to do with life?

Typical life of an Indian can be shown in a simple flow chart.

Born in you mother's womb
|
v
give your mother a hell of a time till you are out after 9 months
|
v
Cry and cry till all the fluids in your body are converted to tears
|
v
Enter into nursery and learn the language of humans till you realize you exist
|
v
grow into a child and get burns, bruises and fractures and all kinds of diseases and pox which will later become mementos of your past
|
v
Hit puberty and suddenly start feeling that the opposite sex that you hated the most earlier and thought them to belong to some alien species are actually attractive
|
v
Like an anion you try finding your cation for having the perfect chemical bond. The journey is really really long. If you fail, your parents finally like a catalyst create a reaction for a bond which was never meant to be or may be it was. (yes I am talking about the arranged marriage)
|
v
For most, this bond breaks as the solution (the Zalim world) is very acidic. Figure out the chemistry yourself but the bottom line is that you love is finally lost.
|
v
Life continues along side this saga of love with you getting a job, getting a bike, then a house to get a wife, then a car and so on.
|
v
Finally arrives a child and like a recursive function all this re-iterates itself for your child as well.

How to exit form this never process? The things we miss out here is going back to nature. Yes, we do go out for holidays and vacations to enjoy the nature's beauty. But how do we do it? We work really hard and earn money which we later spend on going back to nature. Its kind of a paradox.Whole life you work for something (enjoying nature) by actually destroying it the whole time.

Our life is a serious game. Are we enjoying it while playing? The answer is a big 'NO'. The solution is to go directly to nature without getting lost in this vicious circle of earning money and working to earn it and then spending it back to help you earn money :) Would be nice to do something what Phunsukh Wangdu was shown doing in the movie 'the 3 Idiots' at the end.

I am trying to get out of this circle. Are you? Its just a thought that keeps on going in my mind. Someday I will be successful in my pursuit.

@soapy

Dude! extinction is where we are headed unless we stop doing what we are doing.

The cities of concrete we are living in doesn't give us the chance to be close to nature. And we are building more and more cities out of town and villages.

Could write a lot of stuff justifying what I think but no point writing stuff you already know :-)
