Its Long and its short? Wait....... what??

I have always wondered about the source of our intelligence.

How do we come up with solutions and ideas?

And often time while reading historical accounts of brilliance unfolding, world-changing solutions have often been a spark!!

I reached before her. This has ALWAYS been the case.

Between me and a woman, I always wait.

As much as would like to, I can’t remember an instance where I have made a woman wait.

I don’t think I ever will.

Chivalry comes at a cost of waiting..

After some usual conversation, she asked the quintessential question:

!!DRUMROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! (imagine for now)

“So how is everything? How is life?”

“It’s long and it’s short,” I said.

“What do you mean”?

“It’s short if you enjoy it, long if you don’t, I guess”!! I shrugged.

As I said it, my mind went, “Daaaamnnn”.

I mean not GODDAMN damn, but DAMN, you are hot!!

C’mon say it, it would feel better.

Did you say it??????👿

Thanks for the Compliment (If you didn't get the joke, give it time. You will!!)

But, with a bit of poetic touch, this is a t-shirt slogan-

How about - Life’s short if you enjoy it, long if you dread it!!.

It’s good, I know. Go one, I give you the trademark for it. Sell it😉.

For better or for worse, this line managed to consume my mind for most of that day, and when I think about it semi-deeply, it did make some sense.

Life in general isn’t a surf over the highest wave in Portugal for most of us. It is also rowing the board to the deep end, carefully crouching on the board, slowly assuming a stooping position and leaning forward with balancing arms. If all fall in sequence, then you get to surf the highest wave for single-digit seconds before plunging back in the water.

Life is more like a dance between DRUDGERY and REVELRY.

While DRUDGERY seems never-ending (remember that lecture where you were cursing your existence!!) where an hour to your brilliant mind only manifested as a minute on your watch,

AND

REVELRY….. it flies, where a minute to your enchanted mind manifests as hours on your watch.

Or How about that first date??

YOU REACH EARLY

Butterflies in your stomach ..

Shallow breathing ..

A hint of sweat on the forehead ..

.

.

The wait seems never ending and as soon as the date arrives, poof… Time just flies (only if you like the person). Run away if you don’t

You see, life is indeed long and short simultaneously.

And so while this dance of Drudgery and Revelry takes you on the Merry Ride of Life..

Why not LIVE it….
