Unpredictability, too, can become monotonous - Eric Hoffer
Well. We often keep complaining that our life is monotonous and hence drowsy. There are several reasons why we feel that our life is monotonous. For example – we start from our home to office everyday almost at the same time, same route, same traffic, similar stress and other factors that claim to be repetitive in our day to day life.
But, in contrary I strongly believe there is nothing repetitive or monotonous in our life. Though we come across many unique examples in our routine life, there will certainly be a difference that shall be minor or major…
The fact is that we often ignore the unique moments by being inactive on most instances in our day to day life. We might miss some wonderful scenery of birds flying on the sky when we stuck up in a traffic signal. Our focus might be only on the RED turning GREEN & if at all possible, is there a way to start moving ahead before GREEN appears… If there are 40 or 50 seconds remaining for the RED signal to change as GREEN, we can start looking around for at least 35 or 45 seconds.
You may notice your neighbor in a nearby vehicle, or you might watch a small cute kid starring at you, may be you notice a traffic police struggling to clear the traffic, someone may be assisting a blind to cross the road, etc.,
Are these cases – a monotony one? Certainly you will not agree to that.
It is true that we often miss all such ‘happenings’ around us by simply thinking about something else or in other words, without focusing on the PRESENT MOMENT…
Our thoughts go either to PAST or starts thinking about FUTURE when we are in PRESENT. Whether someone agrees or not – this life is completely unpredictable. Life’s enjoyment or happiness lies with accepting the unpredictability and being very active on every moments of life… If we do so, the word ‘monotonous’ disappears from us and there will be no drowsiness at all.
