Getting Phylosophical

Here I go again.
One thing that even the dumbest of people around can do is be phylosophical. I performed a well tested experiment on myself and realized that even I can be phylosophical. Hence proved. I mean just imagine if a person as ........ as me can come out with phylosophical views and ideas then anyone can. Ask people when they are in a phylosophical mood any simple question and you are bound to get answers which will make you pull your hairs and yell at the top of ur lungs " SHUTTTT UPPPP". And this mood is a contagious disease, trust me. If you are not careful enough, the next thing you know is that you are babbling gibberish bout life and situations yourself. So what do you do to get rid of it. Bad news ppl, there is no cure for it. A person infected once will keep getting these attacks. All you can do is keep youself safe from it. Therefore, Precaution is the only cure. So protect yourself from its contagious effect first.
Step 1 : Dont listen to the patient's jargon.
Step 2: Stay away from him.
Step 3: Keep yourself as happy as possible during that period when the infected person is around cs its virus seem to spread in the atmosphere even.
Step 4: Put loud music so that the infected person gets out of his attack.
Step 5: DO NOT PUT ANY SLOW MUSIC.
Step 6: If nothing works, its too late for the infected person but you can still RUN. RUN FOR UR LIFE BUDDY.

A Thought

I am quite fond of reading the 'Thinking Tree' in the Times of India editorial page. I read an article titled 'Stop searching for the meaning of life' (smth like tht not very sure). The title itself hit me cs normally that column is all about explanations of life and its meaning n all tht. This title seemed quite contradictory to the theme of the column (acc to me). The article said smth so simple that it ll be with me for quite sometime now. It questions that why do humans always search for the meaning of life and they search for it only at the time of adversity or when they are faced with some problems. Do we try to search for its meaning when we are happy? Do we try to search for its meaning when everything in our life is going fine? I dont think we search for it then. When we are in office and we have several deadlines and meetings, thats when we think of the purpose for coming to office, we make a plan and v carry it out. Bt when we go for a party, do we think why we are here??? No, all we know is that we are here to have fun. So why cant our lives be one such party as well. The very fact of life is that we have it. Everything else is secondary.

To add to the above thoughts of the author, I feel that watever problems we face in our lives, it changes us in certain ways. When we go through a difficult phase and overcome it, later on when we look back at that phase, somewhere it makes us proud of ourselves. It gives us a level of faith in ourselves. We develop a self-respect cs of what all we had faced in the past. I guess thatswhy people say that problems are important cs the most important thing for a person is to love and respect herself/himself.
