Treadmill of life.

There is a great hunger for success in life and stiff competition in all walks and in the workplace, and therein lies the problem. Most of us derive our sense of worth solely from our professional life or job, and we devote disproportionate amounts of time and energy towards success. The workplace or profession becomes an extension of society, and we hop on to the treadmill of materialistic pursuits and are stranded on this axis. People even go to the extent of invoking religion/Gods and gurus in their working life affixing talismans, intoning prayer before switching on their laptops and even sneaking away during lunch recesses to the nearest Church/Mosque to offer prayers or ask for success.
When you introspect at the end of the day you realize that most of it has no philosophic or humane content. This not proselytizing to become metaphysical but we must recharge our batteries, and there is a difference between spirituality and bigotry. We must find a way to rise above the constricted bottom-line path and take the road less traveled.-Vinay-
