You Think Too Much! A life of thought…and some thoughts on life.

Ever notice the fact that the best love stories or the most memorable romances are mostly, if not always, tragedies? Guess it’s because no one really wants a dose of real life…after all we’re all IN it and living it day-in, day-out. Romance in itself is a concept created to help form and maintain intimate relationships…a useful illusion of sorts, one may say. What better way to maintain the illusion than to end the story when things are at their peak? After all, if Romeo and Juliet had to settle down to a life of babies, paying the bills, the occasional tiff and eventual disillusionment, the bard would’ve had a much harder time ‘wow’ing audiences. Guess that applies to other areas of life too…be it the lives of celebrities to musicians to politicians…or even your next-door neighbour with his/her whole life ahead of them…a life that could’ve been so bright if they just hadn’t left early. Do we spend to much time in our lives and in the society we’ve built chasing illusions…or are these eventually ambitious goals that leave us just short…but content with our achievements?
