2 Worlds

These days, I find myself getting pulled by two different worlds more often than not.

In one world, I want rich, diverse, challenging experiences. i.e. work hard, party hard, run hard, travel hard etc.. i.e. More life in a breath.

In another I want a more sedate life where I picture myself enjoying fine living - reading books, listening music, tasting fine wine, eating rich food, playing relaxing sport, enjoying siestas, spending time with the family and so on.

As always the middle ground is the right world. Too much of either extreme can be toxic and lead to unsatisfactory life.

Perhaps, my long stay at home in Kerala is whats pulling me to the latter. Or maybe the lack of excitement from work is pushing me away from the former. Or it might be my inherent laziness.

Either ways, I want to remind myself of this quote

Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worthwhile.
