we all associate pretty well with all the quotes that talk about life being this great journey... the experiences, the various milestones, taking command on our own life and many more such things. So essentially, we are trying to correlate life to a beautiful or a bumpy - long drive...isn't it? The comparison is valid if you know to drive. In case you do know to drive and u r the one on the wheel for the ride of your life, well then we have a story. A story written, directed, acted by you. This analogy holds true for you and the associated thoughts hold true for you too.
Although if you have been the one associating with the second part of the title - looking out of the window kinds, then this analogy doesn't hold good for obviously! Then you are on your life journey on someone Else's route. The person whosoever, u gave the right to drive ur life is on a journey of his/her life and u seem to be a co-passenger just hitch hiking with no directions of your own, no milestones of your own, no speed breakers to deal with, no red, green signals, no junctions - no no ... not totally true, they will be there, but not yours, not at your time, they will surely be there but they are all borrowed or forced emotions & experiences of life - from the person whose behind the wheel for your life to go on!
I am not convinced for an argument with you to justify either. You know your situation the best. you are the one who made the choice, if u'll drive or if u'll enjoy the view! Even if there is something screaming from deep within that i don't like the view and i definitely din sign up for this route - still u r the person who gave the power the authority and the liberty to someone else to be the driver. What can i say... enjoy the view is all u can do! If you were too shy to take the risks and to deal with consequences of your own driving - too bad! Now the seat is taken...
The best part is some of us get addicted to not having to take a lot of decisions. Enjoying the view till it starts killing you, mile after mile. By the time u realize u & ur life have been hijacked, its again - too late! By the time this realization strikes the driver of your life too has got addicted to not only control his / her life - but also control your life. So now, if you insist to deboard - thinking u'll prob'lly not go on 100 Mile per hour but walk and walk on your own route, decide your own destination and make your own milestones - even though u might end up doing this walking & not driving - well too late - yet again!! cause not this beloved driver of yours is now not going to let u deboard - coz now suddenly the taste of power of ruling let alone ur own but someone Else's life is phenomenal..!!
The interesting thing is that those who are in fact in the driver seat - are confused too. Sometimes wondering when exactly did i claim to know the route?? They keep looking for the sign boards - someone, on the road of life - looking for a hitch hike so they have some company, someone they would eventually feel good about having ruled! They are not sure why is the road so bumpy... when would be the next stop, why am i the one driving, am i suppose to focus on the windshield or the rare view..?? like i said before - there is no right or wrong pick - u chose - u know the best...
The tricky one is when u knew for sure - that for good or for bad u wanna drive ur life, u know the route, u are prepared for all the speed brakes and pretty much aren't concerned about the sign boards. Then suddenly its like u fell asleep on the drive, and wen u wake up u have been safely placed on the pillion seat with someone else now driving ur life on ur route. Its all messed up! You have no clue wat happened on the way that suddenly ripped ur all ur strength away. The blueprint u carried with u at the start of the journey is no longer valid. You can scream, plead or cry now u are going to have to continue this journey at someone Else's directions. The route is changed, the desires no longer mean anything coz u no longer have the control... ! Looking out of the window was never your thing - but now that's all that can save u of the agony of having to see someone else drive ur life far far away...!
The beauty of it all is u never really lose control. Since, all that's happening to you is happening cause u asked for it, u chose it. No one is a victim of life itself. We all live the way we do cause somewhere deep within we have our reasons to live like that. if you have dreams but no courage to realize them - u won't ever live them! If you like to be ruled - u shall be ruled, if u r the one to take command of your own life - no matter if u showed courage half way thru - u shall be able to do so...!
Your life is a function of the choices u make and the situations u come across.
You chose - u live ur life, u look out of the window, or u go in the back seat and sleep! Life is all u ever wanted, u and only u signed up for wat u have.
