Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'Wheel of Conformity' (Part #256)

'Wheel of Conformity'

The sound of flowing water grabs my attention. I walk to the point of origin and see this bridge over the cold water. I like to hear that sound. Interesting how one would think that it might become irritating after a while but, on the contrary, the longer I listen to it, the more relaxing it becomes.

It may be that the sounds of nature are so deeply rooted in us that we can never accept them as something irritating. Same thing with the sea. Sitting on a rocky beach and listening to the sound of waves breaking one by one can induce really pleasant states of mind. But, I'm not on the beach! :)

I distinguish another sound from the pleasant noise. The wheel turns as the tired planks creak a bit. The water splashes and the cycle repeats. The neverending cycle of going around and around. It can relate to some lifestyles. Don't think many people mind going in circles as long as it feels alright. Conformity prevails over life.

I think its a mind game. At some point, people start believing in the story of a safe life. They obediently serve the masters by completing circles, exchanging the time they were given, for a promise of better paid tomorrow. They assure and reassure themselves countless times that an unwelcome surprise can never happen and then they lose their jobs. With that, all the illusion is gone in one short moment. Some figure out that the life is to be lived and change their priorities, some run to quickly find another master because they feel worthless outside of the matrix of the illusion.

It is all up to a person. It doesn't take much to say no and find an alternative meaning. A chair doesn't need to be a chair. It can be a vessel, a shelter, a climbing rig. Watch children when they play. Their minds are not polluted by constant brainwashing and they often see things from more interesting perspectives. But then again, aren't we all children playing with our toys? :D

Enjoy your day. :-)
