Malvika's Ramblings

Exploration. Acceptance. And then?

Only when you explore, you find what shit and slime there is in back alleys. Only when you explore you see how deep depression is, how plastic happy people can be. Only when you explore you see how hard people try at small talk, how easy others cruise along. Only when you explore do you see what pillars people set up in life to stand straight and be happy, be regular. Only when you explore you see how they sort their lives. How children’s tiffins and the next meeting at work is a concern. How they aren’t spiraling down. Only when you explore you see loans, permits, marrying for tax exemption, love with Tokyo. Only when you explore you see the stuff that fills emptiness. The stuff that binds friends together. And then you know more than the cogs and more than the monkey wrenches. So much gyaan. And what do you get at the end of it? I don’t know. Just perspective perhaps.
