It was a very lazy sunday afternoon and I was staring blankly into my laptop. Like every other day I wondered what I was exactly doing with my life. I could even have rephrased and asked what I was doing in my life, to my life or for my life. They all made sense. Now suddenly, I have a feeling that this is not exclusive to me. It is a question every youthful brain asks its heart. Its never the other way round. The heart which has that priviledge is blessed and need not ask for anything more.
You can call the relation between the heart and the brain - democracy. Here everyone has a say in everyone elses matters. The parties partaking in the debate understand each other well but not too well. That causes a turmoil as to whether the heart and brain really know what they are doing. Its funny but thats how all democracies work. I wonder why that is still the best form of government.
Education, social acceptance, 6-salaries, and family (which includes pets :)) all are the fore-runners in the party called Brain. Arts, dreams, love and friends rule the party called Heart. The Heart party always talks about the feel good factor but loses out on the socially accepted scale of success. The Brain party keeps trying to stress on what is right and wrong. Sometimes they know that they can never exist alone, but sometimes they know that if the other did not exist they could have achieved so much more.
The Brain party still wishes that if they had their way they could have achieved that coveted post in the IT firm that the neighbouring government won, they could have settled sooner and brought so much more respect by deciding to take up the job against the advice of friends who were backed up by the Heart party. The Heart party still broods over the fact that they missed that chance to make a mark in the dramatics class had there been no interference from the Brain-backed school lectures. They still blame the Brain for missing the rock concert which would have lead to so many new contacts which they were necessary to boost their chance in the next band competition.
Well, it is not really only about the lazy sunday afternoon or about thebrain or theheart. Its not really about democracy. Its really about what decision we finally take. Its time the President stands up and controls the governing. Its time we awaken President Soul who lies in the background of every action. He lies in our sub-conscious memory and is the one who really must have the veto-power. Democracy is insufficient for the body. It must be a President-intervened Democracy. A form of governement only the body can understand. The form of democracy that makes us academicians by day and rockstars by night. It makes us managers by day and fathers by night. Sons by day and lovers by night.
It was never really about the lazy sunday afternoon. It was about what governing we must nurture to lead a life of contenment and happiness. The only motivation to awaken your soul and follow your dreams but within limits of humanity and within limits of day and night. This is not the end, it was always going to be only the first step forever.
