Since time immemorial pursuit of your dreams is the noblest of endeavors there is. Whether it was the warrior ready to shed his blood to fight his enemies, a sage immersed in finding eternal peace or artist drowned in their worship of their art; men have given all and staked all to protect their country, their families their passion. Today the situation is not so dramatic anymore, the life has the same challenges but masked in a more subtle way. The race now is more brutal I would say and it is towards education, trade, money and relationships to name a few. The intent of men has now evolved towards inching out others to get yourself a place on the pyramid and as high a place as possible. It is not about you, it is about your position with respect to others. The reason for running in this race is just because the society says so. The goal of life cannot be just trying to fit in with the society, it has to be more than that otherwise the existence of the human race server no purpose and makes no sense. The funny part is that while men pride themselves for achieving goals they very often do not even want it. I have of course never lived in any other age but from my perception it seems the people were more friendly, accomodating and less brutal towards competition. Competition was about the best and not who wins by any means. That is why I have always longed to live in those times. Yes the facilities today have improved but I would say the cost is too dear if you lose your gentle soul to get a bigger car than your neighbour etc..I cannot say that you can be isolated from this and be a saint amongst the evil.. this evolution of man and society is beyond any one to change. All we can do is save ourselves and be one amongst the few who are still resisting the evolution and be considerate and sensitive to others - run the race but the one you want and with your principles intact.
