Some Flash of thoughts

Strathearn-Otaki, New Zealand

I just came across this beautiful photo I took few months ago. The place was so nice, calm, serene and refreshing. And, the following thoughts came to my mind.

Everyone should take time to rewind, relax and introspect. See where you are going, what you want in life, what is happening with your life. Try to think of something higher other than, eating varieties of dishes, watching movies, playing video and mobile games, buying new gadgets, new mobiles. I have a friend who bought Iphone 5 and before buying, he was looking forward to it and after he brought, he didn't like it. Then, he sold it off for a lesser price and after selling it, he is now thinking maybe it would have been a better option to keep it and looks and works better than Iphone 4. Anyway, now he has his eyes on Iphone 6.

So the only way you can get off this Hedonic treadmill is to engage in higher pursuits by getting away from the crazy rat race. It is said that, People make more money, more money, see other doing it and continue making more money. It’s a Hedonic treadmill that people can’t get down from i.e. one Keeps walking just to stay in the same place.
