Books, Perceptions and Reality

It has been a long time since i have read a book, so no blogs and this is one of my personal views. I always knew that books sort of really took me out of the real world into a predictable and sane world. But in real it would not be so, or may be the sheer magnitude of the present blurs ones vision of the future.

I always wanted to know more and keep myself abreast of the world. The driving force was to predict the future more accurately than before or perhaps the best. So the endeavor was to devour any book that comes my way that would help me in this direction. During this journey of reading books i have come to know a lot of things but still the prediction of the future looms large. All great books teach a lesson or two and provide valuable advices and situations but what is more important is that they are all done and over. So what you will face in life is new and unpredictable. This is where the challenge begins and ends. These books present a situation and a solution and leaves a perception behind the mind to dissolve and evolve.
But in the real world it presents many challenges and opportunities and it has many paths with a few to choose. Finally these form a chain of events that take the journey of life.

Where are we headed? this is the question ringing in my mind. The bionic man is not far off. We cant hide from global warming nor can we stop driving our cars. Drugs (including alcohol) and Drought are the biggest epidemic to strike mankind. Where are we going?

Time goes by leaving only books to be written and thoughts to ponder.But at least there are few things that are predictable in life if not for them life would have been chaotic.

So enjoy life and forget prediction for the time being
