At The End All That Remains is I

It surprises how we spend our lives searching for people who will support us, love us, care for us and for that special one who will spend rest of their life with us. But i wonder why no one realises that at the end its I who is there and nobody else. Its I who lives life. Be it nourishment of the body, feeling the emotions, going to work and for that matter any activity, its I who is there. And still its this I which is treated with disdain and contempt. Its that I who is subjected to ridicule when that I decides to pursue its dreams. Its that I which is labelled as selfish by others when it decides to think for itself. And it feels painful when that I succumbs to the external pressure and yields in to the demands of killing that I.
I have been lucky to be allowed to nourish my I but i feel sad for some of my friends whose identities are being crushed under the pretence of following the mores of the society. Why can't everyone realise that even when you live, let alone die, its that I which stays along while everything else leaves?

thnx for the appriciation. i agree that english has brot prosperity to many. i just do not like the deterministic status given to t and i see you agree with me. i think that the reason why western lit like harry potter sells so much is precisely coz it is so far off from reality. what is clser to you...part of your language and your culture becomes too personal and sometimes too uncomfortable to potray as it can show excatly what is wrong with you and your society and it also entails a process of acceptance of your short comings. perhaps i think too much about it!!!!

hey, I cam across your profile on charu's blog. Nice post, only read this one.

Here's something that I always say regarding morality and society.

No matter how many friends surround us on our deathbed, in the end, we all die alone. And that proves that man in essence, is a single being. And wanting to put the 'I' above the 'us' is but natural.

Have more posts like these on my blog. Go through some if you like.
