World is a wonderland

The world is a one big wonderland, and we are some puppets in a puppet show in this carnival that never ends. Having said that, there is more to life than you can ever imagine. The roles we play, the things we do and the world we create for ourselves is not just dictated by our choices and ability but also by those of people around us. Its easy to see the effect of the decisions your boss takes on you or that of your parent or one of your siblings but things doesn’t stop here. Even a person passing by you on a street, or a gentlemen travelling with you in a subway and even a simple smile of an innocent child can have great impact on your life.

For those who have read Rhonda Bryne’s “the secret”, this is just “law of attraction” and the “response of the universe” to your own thought. I don’t disagree with this, neither I’ll nod in perfect acceptance. A crippled man, no matter how purely he wish to walk again may not be able to do so. A person with genetic disorder may not get a chance to discover the other side of him that is in shadow of his shortcomings. But for a normal human like me, it may be possible to act on my dream and bring it down to reality. Its written in the book itself, act on the thoughts, grab opportunities else nothing works. You got to pick up the response of the universe. Unfortunately, every human being is not capable of becoming the master of his own destiny. If two people wishes for the same thing and works for it in the same way but still only one gets the chance to enjoy the fruit then it’s a shame on the universe. Okhay, he may get an alternative to it, but still he will never end up with the thing he started to work for in the first place.

When two humans are involved in a same situation, time or opportunity, they are bound to affect each others lives. In the beginning I said even a man passing by you on a street can have a great impact on your life. Consider this, you are working on some great presentation and you are certain to make an impression next week when you will be going up against your rivals. You went out to the market to buy some paper clips and folders to keep yourself organized. You complete everything two days before just to be sure nothing gets messed up. But on the day of presentation, you realize you have fever and caught cold. Your boss takes over your presentation and gets all the credits which was actually meant for you. Now where did you go wrong ? did you not act on it? Certainly you did! Oh wait, the store guy, he had flu and he communicated his disease to you. Did he plan to do that? Did universe conspire against you?
Lets not look at the universe with a crooked brow. The guy affected your life. He was meant to do that.
Just like the other day, when the guard of your society suggested you to park your car in the parking space even if you are in a rush ( He might have saved you from some heated argument! ), or the girl who made you visit the jogging tracks quite often than the usual ( congratulations! You just earned yourself a couple of healthy hours for yourself. )

The world is indeed a wonderland where a joker makes you smile, the rides gives you adrenaline rush and the magician dissolves the difference between the dreams and the reality. Its funny though, how you can avoid everything. You can predict the joker’s act and consider it to be a retard and failed attempt, you can just stand and watch the rides instead of getting the actual feel of it, better yet talk about its technicality and risk factor involved in riding such things (geeks! I tell you… ) and deny the existence of magic even when you cannot understand how the hell that man with the shiny coat pulled out a bunny out of the hat. Funny isn’t it ?

Truth is, we waste time figuring out what life is, trying to mould it in every way that suits us. We are like that stubborn bunny, which is so reluctant to get out of the hat, that he may even kill the magician. We love our comfort zone so much, that we are not ready to give up on it. There is no magic, that is true, but there is definitely thousands of smiles worth the magic trick. You are born, you are part of the show and you are a performer until and unless the curtain falls. The mutual existence is something more important than the selfish act of living in a comfort zone. Let the impossible dissolve into the reality, make the difference disappear. Magic works if you believe that magic exists!
