- <p name="778d" id="778d" class="graf graf--p graf-after--h3">It feels so surreal after all isn’t it, when
- the world conjures around us. The meaning of existence or the unknown remains a mystery, for unless sought with
- a true soul, remains unraveled. They say that the interplay of words catches the attention of the
- wandering eye. When it sounds more than just what it is.</p>
- <p name="4fa7" id="4fa7" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">Rhyming, rhythmic, alliterations and metaphors
- are the literary devices they use. Isn’t it just hard to write coherently with a steady train of thoughts?
- There shall be detours, poems encapsulated somewhere. Some quotes shall be uttered which seem original or
- a word or two in the air. Some may be obvious whereas some genius.</p>
- <p name="cc74" id="cc74" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">It is so unique indeed that we have this
- capability to be whatever we chose to be. <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">Free will</em> as a central
- problem of philosophy still enchants the mankind — with growing technological advents and socio-economic
- vicissitudes.</p>
- <p name="5772" id="5772" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">The question still persists “Has making life
- easier with the choices made in past, made it easier in its true actuality?” The answer to this seems to
- be a — ‘No’. It hasn’t. We have just been a prisoner of our creations all along. The captives of our
- identities. Getting out of it <em class="markup--em markup--p-em">is</em> possible only when we stop
- visualising this entire realm of negativity.</p>
- <p name="1ac1" id="1ac1" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">The perspective of this creation has to change.
- Every choice made has its share of merits and perils. The merits should make us stronger and keep us
- manifested — never pull ourselves down, come what may. Saying this with conviction is sometimes seen as
- gaudy with mindless optimism or even as an arrogant and pompous demeanour.</p>
- <p name="8523" id="8523" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">The movement (or purpose as one may see at least
- in general) is to be more freer. Freer than before, both in our minds as well as our actions. Money is a way
- of freedom. Allows us with the choice of every possibility that can be dreamt of in this society that we
- have built. The more valuable we are, the more prominence we gain and become irreplaceable (at least in
- near future).</p>
- <p name="4afb" id="4afb" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">Some charted ways of becoming free is to
- practice finesse in our craft. The craft shall never betray us. For betrayal is something beings are
- capable of. We are harnessing the craft, the skill to be our individual best, every time we deliver.
- Ensure due care, address qualms, gentle and tender we care — hone and caress to build a monogamous and
- infidel relationship with our craft.</p>
