Hocus Pocus Focus

Why is it that we don't break into a laughter these days(?)

Why is it that we can foretell how a story is going to end even before reading the book or watching a movie to its end(?)

Why is it that we don't get fooled by people's behaviour - no matter how much effort they put in to conceal their intentions(?)

Well, perhaps if you are wondering why, the reason may not be that you were suddenly miracalized by a magical wand and have been loaded with a sack-load of wisdom. Neither does it mean that your years of investing in knowledge-accumulation has finally started to pay off nor does it imply that you have been suddenly awakened with realization from a session of pseudo-science like yoga, accupressure, accupuncture or even tantric hocus pocus. 

The actual reason for being able to reason, rationalize and reach a conclusion even before getting excited without a boring conversation or never-ending observation is because of a process of data assimilation and identification of patterns of thought and behaviour and being accustomed to experiences of knowing what that would lead to that comes with ageing with unwalled experiences. Its like being able to predict the movement of a vehicle looking at the indicator - it could be as obvious as that. 

While idiots may call it a gut-feeling for loss of better words, a intellect-wannabe may recall it to be Deja or Voulez Vous. To break it into simpler language, this factor to reach quicker conclusions on where the path one takes or someone else we observe taking could lead to - like the prognosis a doctor makes - comes with age; 'age' that provides experiences on exposure to stimuli that are at times pleasing and many times... unpleasant - like the scent of a woman or maybe the scent of the woman. 

We look in awe at the elderly who can predict the future of our current experiences and situations in life and may even look upon them as a sage or as some divine incarnate. But, we could be a big butt wrong... for the more a person is exposed to multi-faceted stimuli without judgement or preference and the more endowed he is with opportunities considered vain, unvirtous and condemnable that make him corrupt with experience, the better chances he has to be likeable and to be seen as a person with a halo by all. Only the wisest man siting there giving advice knows what a SoaB he is on the inside... Quite a predicament isn't it(?)

The fact is, as long as man has access to good, clean and an unconditional supply of air, food, water and sex, he will remain a Saint. Deny any of these and he becomes a Saint Bernard. While we all know that a well fed cat never steals, the problem with the world today is that we have made these basic and elementary human needs 'inaccessible' not only by making it unaffordable but by making it undeservable through values imposition - values that become barriers and burdens than anything of brilliance. Exploration in forbidden territories begin with denial and the enthusiasm to do so is sustained by the way one is able to justify their way until they reach a point of unguarded, unguided, unquestioned orgasmic explosion that comes with the risk of expulsion. The one's who find it, remain quitely seated with a smuck smile of bliss while the others who run around searching for it like a blind, headless chicken in a dark maze at night, may meditate to cool their groins. 

Life is simple. And in it lies the beauty of our salvation.
