Of Understanding and growing up

People have this tendency to get confused. Perfectly all right in today's time. Things have gotten so blurred, and people do not know what to think, it makes this concept of understanding quiet interesting. Also, how an individual grows out of it is something which can be explored, although perhaps in a nutshell.

Do people live for themselves or do people live for the broader society in which they live in? What do you define as Reality and illusion? All these things are so vague that no definite outcome can come about. The concept of the self should be important, but it is observed that society determines the self. Very few individuals manage to achieve the vice versa of it. What are the factors which determine reality and illusion? This, in context of life, is really a tough one.

There are several factors which go into deciding the goals that individuals have to set. An individual with a clear mindset and with the proper focus can erase the bluriness of reality and illusion. However, for someone who wants to stand in the middle of the line, he will tend to suffer. The mind goes into a confused state, not knowing what to do and what not to do. It goes furthur as to individuals forgetting who they really want to be and letting others judge them.

This throws up the question of honesty and corruption. Do people really have to be corrupt to go higher up in life? Is honesty truly a done and dusted thing? The answer might lie in the variety of contexts. Contexts perhaps determines the individuality of man, but this is the major factor that blurs up Understanding altogether. The debate between outright honesty and perversion of it will rage on, because it benefits one person, while it proves the opposite to the other.

When people have reached the Adult stage, the simplicity around them is shattered. Why do people reminiscence over past times? I guess in everybody's youth, the simplicity of things around them are witnessed, and thus they can enjoy life. But, when in the adult stage, people try to balance their mind with rational thoughts, they plunge into furthur confusion. I sometimes wonder wether growing up is really worth it, because all i see is the constant battle with the self, and blurring of several things. To understand the life after Teenage is indeed a challenge, because like all of this, it is blurred.
