I want to break free

"Extension of our self, our ego" , this is how I tied to summarize everything this morning. As usual Saturday newspaper was filled with ads , politicians, economics, sports ohh yes movies ... We have been doing this faithfully all this while, wake up, worry about breakfast and then how can I have a good breakfast with coffee please ...whats on tv ? she looks good in TV, am I late to office ? and the list of wants go on . Its an insatiable hunger ..... ever in need of food.. thoughts ..recognition ..products that would extend/augment physical or mental faculties... always on the run.

No matter how different you are , what you do for a living , what religion you follow, what language you speak, how noble your thoughts are, whether you are a cyclist, a terrorist, or a noble prize winning scientist .. you are essentially a part of this game that we all play , that we live to play "Extension of the self, the ego".

I sometimes find myself in a fix, I was chosen to ride the tour de france , cause of my good Karma, cause of evolution whatever .... but somewhere in the middle while everyone is sprinting away, I am curious how it would be to go on a trek over the hills over there. It bores me that all everyone wants is to win this race, and I wonder can there be some other motive to our existence.
