baby where have you been ??

as a kid i would do exactly what i felt, would smile when i wanted to, would cry my heart out when i needed to, talk my mind out with my limited vocabulary, nudge for the hug before it was due, throw tantrums for attention when overdue, fight tooth and nail literally for the toy i loved, mourn when my dear doll was not well, now am not dat proud of this reaction but what the heck .. that was me .. he he




i wonder what does the "process of growing up" have to necessarily take away from us our right of being what we are .. why cant we have reactions without being processed about their rightfulness ??

to begin with .. who defines right and wrong.. who defines boundaries.. who defines our thoughts .. is it education or lack of understanding that governs our believes .. our reactions and why has it to be so skewed towards righteousness.. why is everybody right and no one wrong ? why do we justify all that we do ? why do we fight a half hearted battle and then shove the blame of our folly on a hapless soul ? why is corruption so strong and bigotry so rampant.. why are obstacles so difficult to cross and the poor and the oppressed find them alone in their lives.. why is relation a means to fool ourselves about love around us ?.. what about love inside ? why so many gurus around to preach and none to follow ??

why .. baby where have you been ?? this has been the way of the world .. yesterday.. today and tomorrow.. you accept it and find a way around it .. u will be happy .. if you want to fight it .. learn from those who changed this world albeit for a little while .. and then come back a winner or with a checklist of things not to do !!
