I have been noticing something lately. Saints usually give up all the materialistic desires in search of The Spiritual one. Though, initially they are termed lunatics who left behind flourishing careers or even royalties in search of inner peace. They also gave up materialistic desires of spending lives with wife or even money or human company altogether for that matter.
I am talking about the work of Gautam Buddha. He one fine day decided that he can no longer rule his kingdom and went on to live in forests and he was called crazy for giving up his birth right. But once he had attained the enlightenment, his teachings were widespread and everyone started believing in him.
So, i am not a Godly creature or someone who is out on a quest. But yes i do wish to prove something to nobody else but myself. I wish to achieve a goal that i have set up. ( cannot disclose it right now. dont want to jinx it ). And so for that i am shunning away from society. I have stopped answering calls on my cell. It helps because lately i dont have anything new to share with my friends. Life is dull and boring or i should say i have made it like that. I dont socialize anymore. Earlier a coffee invitation or a new weekend release would have been my top priority or for that matter a new restaurant opening in the town would definitely ensure that sometime soon i would drop by to check what it has to offer ( as i am a foodie....lately not so much).
I am becoming alter ego of what i used to be. I have heard my friends call me crazy. I would agree to them. I also wish if i can go off facebook. If i can achieve that i am sure i would be closer to my goal.
Once i achieve my goal the same set of backbiters who call me crazy now might then bend over backwards to meet and greet me. And may be even welcome my unwelcoming nature.
Lets hope i dont become a worse psychopath example.
PS: letting go off things so that i can achieve something better. :D
