Walls are amazing things. When man began his stint on this planet little did he know that one day he would be surrounded by so many walls that the journey which got him here will stop. Almost abruptly, the so called journey being evolution has stagnated. Man has stopped evolving. We have all stopped evolving. Thanks to the walls. We have created a society that stops anything new from coming in. Anything new, Anything unknown and Anything distant. A child, who is supposed to learn about the universe that he is a part of by exploring this magnificently miscellaneous world of ours instead is made to sit in closed rooms and taught about standing lines and sitting lines( the new way to learn alphabets apparently!). Every piece of information is refined and converted into conformity and imitation ultimately leaving no room for evolution. So these minds when they grow up are nothing but a notebook filled with countless dos and don’ts. And weird as our society is we always do what we are not supposed to do. Walls are amazing things.

“We’re all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars.” –Oscar Wilde

There is a whole different world out there that is waiting to be discovered, revealed. A world that does not have any lines, nor does it have any circles. There is only existence, life and wonder. Every man deserves a journey of his own. He deserves to come up with questions. And he deserves answers from the universe. Those are the lessons he is meant to learn. And then maybe come up with a different version of calculus and relativity! No boundaries, no blind faith, no limitations. It took us a long and painful ride to get here with a mind that thinks and a vision that can look far and wide. When you look at the stars at night and wonder, you are fulfilling your life’s purpose. That is precisely what life expects of us. To seek the truth which is actually everywhere but you need a special set of eyes to look at it. You need to demolish the walls and build new ones instead. The ones that have doors and windows, lots of them. The ones that’ll protect you from rain and thunder but will also let the sunshine inside once the clouds are gone. There are pretty pictures outside. All you need to do is close your eyes, step outland and find new vision. That’ll make all of this worthwhile. That will make living worthwhile.
