Its one of those times, you hear a word, Move Mountains to find its meaning and it is so worth your efforts that you decide to write an entire article on it!
Culs-de-sac (plural of Cul-de-sac), a French word implying ‘dead ends’.
My state of mind right now is an inextricable ordeal. When you have repeated failures you know exactly where your life is heading.
The surety of impending disappointment and destruction of all that creation has in store for you is daunting yet comforting in an odd way.
The tribulation begins when you suddenly have a brief stint with success. You can not gauge your life and your dreams are exaggerated by your delirious disposition.
For a little while you assume the role of a winner. You believe in yourself and optimism, the word.
You then apply your mind to other things that are going wrong in your life in a vain attempt to rub some of the winner luck onto them.
You fail.
You now assume that it was a small failure and blame it on what people call procrastination or lack of hard work on your part. You are still stubborn enough to try victory at other areas of your failed life.
You fail again.
You start to think, even doubt your temperament a little. But you go fishing again!
...
...
...
And it’s now that you realize that your life repudiates the success you want to define it to be.
You might as well change your definitions.
Now you repent. You even unleash the occasional fury upon whoever let you have that successful stint in the first place.
How predictable life is with failures.
So tranquil that it almost seems successful….

Bitten by pragmatism?
Isn't the essence of life - the journey - and doesn't enjoying the journey require one to push the limits, albeit litte by little, but challenge them, nonetheless?
So, I have read a few posts, on and off, just a few, but over a LONG period of time.
Don't get me wrong, it isn't the writing. As a matter of fact, calling some of it interesting and crisp might even be an understatement.
So, here, this was a long overdue comment.
[P.s. Maybe it was D's ego :-)]
[P.p.s. It was actually lack of updates]
My conclusion is a theoretical hypothesis, the essence of my article says otherwise...
Maybe you have judged it by its end and hence presumed my stand 'pragmatic' when in fact the contrary is what is evident!
:) long time D
