If you could be God, what would you do for humanity? - Make them less human.. as it is you people are bothersome lots.

Is life that Simple ?

I remembered when I was young back then when my friend and I would sit ourselves in a circle at a beach, the bench on a park or the seats in a restaurant and ponder to ourselves on life and what it could have been. Back then materialistic gains have always been the central topic of our discussion. What if we are rich? What if we have a beautiful girlfriend? What if we drive a Porshe?

The "what if" questions have been our favourite topic of discussions where we would ask each other a question and you are expected to answer it either through the creative mind of imagination of the factual mind of logic.

Life has never been that complicated back then, we are not burdened down by the hassle of relationships or the concerns of bills. We are not concerned about what tomorrow will bring us but instead what we will bring into tomorrow.

But as we wisened up and add the months and days to our age, we are no longer concerned with "what if" instead "what is" We no longer afford ourselves the luxury of imagination and the freedom of thoughts but instead anchored ourselves steadfast to the realm of reality. Are we so caught up in the problems of now that we no longer allow ourselves to be with the possibility of tomorrow?

Have we wondered what makes our life as complicated as it is now? Are we the victims of the natural evolution where life as it is, is being aided by machines and technology, and bills and responsibilities or are we the victims of our own decisions?

I remembered back then in my secondary school years, going out is as simple as putting a pair of pants and a shirt and any shoes that lay strewn infront of your house, now it is no longer that simple. Going out meant colour matching your pair of jeans to your shirt and deciding what is the best look that you would like to go out in, whether to unbutton the top of you shirt, to tuck it in or to let it loose. Either to wear a long-sleeve casual or collared. Whether to go for the smart casual look or the rugged rusty look. And I have yet to begin on the hairstyle, the accessories and the shoes. I spent 2 hours infront of the mirror perking up when I only spent less then 5 minutes back then doing the same thing.

So are we the victims of our own decisions? Don't we have control of our life? This question will remain unanswered for many years to come. The advent of technology and computerisation is aimed at making our lifes more simpler, to rid ourselves with the cumbersome burden of daily work and routine chores and to mechanised it. However I suspect that as our life get simplified by technology it is will get more and more complicated.

For now at least, I will relive my "What if" life...
