My first post

I first begin this blog by saying that all that I write below is entirely my own opinion, and an opinion is not black or white. If you don't like it, express your differences in a constructive manner or if you can't do that, don't read it. I don't care whether you read it or not, as I generally find writing entertains me and hence, I will continue writing.

It has been 9 months since the most idyllic period of my life ended. I have a job and other stuff to do basically. So why write now? Because - I AM BORED. Why am I bored now? Why not when I spent entire weeks cooped up in a hostel room sitting in front of my computer? Why not when I spent four years in one of the most boring locations in the world, close to what I believe to be a waste bin of a city, where we didn't even have a constant power supply? It was because, speaking for myself at least I was so jobless, along with a group of friends who were just as jobless, I was not bored. It was my way of life. Now, with restrictions encroaching upon it, it has become just another part of the day, and I don't know what to do with it. And hence, I miss that way of life.

Adults (I am discounting my generation from this description, although technically, that's what we actually are) that I have interacted with always sagely seem to point out whenever me or anyone 'younger' screws something up that we had all the time in the world to do it right. Except, if you were working at that time, all that glorious time you spent jobless would have been lost.
People generally just don't get how awesome the period of having nothing serious to do is - when you can basically horse around all you want without a damn care in the world.

A majority of the previous generation seems to have been bitten by some sort of 'achievement bug', where they want to go and... Do stuff. This I firmly believe, is why we have so many people complaining all the time, jostling for a restricted number of spots and generally making life unpleasant for those around them whenever things don't seem to work out for them. Take these people and put them in a place where the only thing they have to do - for work or entertainment - is friendly social interaction, and I think half of their problems will disappear. It could be a sort of stress relief camp. I digress.

So is it wrong for me to not want to achieve something with my spare time? To reach great heights or fulfill my potential or whatever crap? I don't know. I am not old enough to know, and I am too detached, even cynical to believe all that crap when others say it to me. And except for being bored, I find that the rest of the time, I am actually happy being this way - to not care, to not map out my future, to not work hard to advance my career. To just be happy, go about doing what I like to do except when I earn the money to do that stuff with. Or better, go back to some sort of study life, where I don't have to earn, or advance my career, and be with the 'youth people'.

Thank you everyone, who taught this incredible moral to me - to know how important it is to be idle and happy.
