We are busy with filling in insurance papers, signing new bonds, signing new contracts, making promises but wait a second I want to know how sure you are about your future? Can you be really sure about what life is going to throw up on you the next moment? I really doubt that, then what is all this much fuss about promises, contracts, bonds etc.. who are we really cheating?
If you are in deep love with someone then you are already started with your plans on what to with him/her for the rest of your life, if you are starting a new company you are already starting to dream about how this company is going to transform itself after few years and I can make a big list of things which we always desire and which we always want.
Why we really want things life to go the way we desire? almost everybody wants to go life the way they expect things to go and if something happens against it then we are hurt, we have a fixed pattern on how things should go in our mind and we want things to fit in to those pattern, literally we want life to go the way we want it to and we do not like life when it throws up something that is unexpected.
But really I think life is not something like a solid iron rod, which you can be very sure of, life is something like a liquid it can take any turns anywhere and at any point and also it can take any share it wants. But normally we do not want life to be something unexpected, we are afraid of adventures life can bring to us and we do not have courage to face the unexpected that may be thrown up on ourselves.
We want things to be sure, we want things to be fixed, we want things to be permanent, we do not want any change and at the most we want other things to change for us and we ourselves do not want to change towards anything or for anything and that’s our mind set.
People who have understood about this very well started to make money out of our need for certainty in life, Insurance companies are making millions or even billions of dollars out of this simple need for man, the need for certainty, when you check the advertisements of insurance company you can see there will be sudden unexpected incident happens and some person will be affected from it and there will be a next slot don’t hesitate insure now and be sure about your future or something. But I really want to know how sure can I be about the insurance companies? what if their shares went down badly in share market or what if the number of people who used to pay for insurance suddenly stopped paying? I find the whole idea to be strange really if there is chance in future that your husband or your family head will die and then there is real chance for your insurance company too to go to ashes what really prevents that possibility?
I really want to know your views on this whole idea about permanence in life. What you think? feel free to comment.
