The dirty word

The need to have accomplishments has made living a task. Accomplishment? What is it? Maybe it is a misunderstood word...Real accomplishments are when you work towards making life happier. But our endeavours seem to be taking us the opposite way. The real meaning of life is lost. Gradually, it is fading out of the collective memory of mankind. We are being programmed to believe in false goals. We, like maniacs, chase these goals and then the happiness that was always within our reach seems so faraway. The whole rotten system has to be kept rolling...now, we can't stop. Men, like machines, churn out whatever crap they are programmed to. Man-created false notions of productivity has made the precious commodity - time - even more valuable. We feel compelled to produce results. It spoils the joy in living. We carry this burden day and night. The thoughts at night are about the chores to be done the next day. Where is the time to enjoy the morning sun or the chirping birds? The constant irritant is the need to strive, to accomplish, to excel. Accomplish what?
