remember Newton's 2 law of motion (i think 2nd) any body in its state of uniform rest or motion will stay in the same state unless disturbed by an external force*.....
i was having this discussion with my boss the other day and somehow it steered to him not being happy with his job (i have already told him a lot of times how i hate my present project) so i told him he cannot crib since lots of good things have been happening to him on the personal front..... he says but thats personal life and professional life is different.... i thankfully stopped myself short of saying dude just one u just one life so be thankful for what you are...
but nonetheless it made me think... my professional life, like i already said, stinks these days.... although i like the technology i work on but this particular project i am doing is useless (in the sense no challenging work.... sometimes the work i have to do seems like an assignment for +1 students) and otherwise also nothing great is happening in life... so i assumed the case might be same for many people... the next obvious thought was how many of us are surviving more because of inertia of living and less because they want to live... how many of us dont look forward to the next day (other than for reasons like today was very very pathetic)
i didnt like this thought anymore than i am liking the way my brain is working... i am forced to find a reason to exist other than inertia and i am finding none... every reason i find is as feeble as the previous one...
but then may be... life is a reason to live... may be what i call inertia is a good enough reason... anyway after i die there's no more living... so might as well live till i can... and then the next step....
aag ka kya hai pal do pal mein lagti hai....
bujhte bujhte ek zamaana lagta hai.....
*the law is expressed best to my knowledge and i take no responsibility for anyone flunking in elementary physics after reading this article

Well i don't agree with you that inertia of whatever kind is driving us or You for living this life.......there are things which happen which around us that make our life to move fast or slow....like sadness always makes life so slow....and happiness in life is like first drop of rain.....you see it falling and when it touches the ground just disappears.....so these accelerations and momentum breakers.....are the driving forces or you can say...."EXTERNAL FORCES"....and moreover you just said in your post....Thankfully stopped.....hahaha..there you go you broke the inertia.....you made newton's place only in physics of matter not humans......
agree about relative speeds of time....
but what i was pointing at was a long stretch of time when this external force approaches zero... like for example a long stretch of nothing to be happy or sad about or a long stretch of so much sadness that it doesnt matter anymore... or may be even a long stretch of so much happiness that it loses the value.....
so i agree with me :-)
Give urself some push lady! Now that makes me think..though it would come from smwhr within u .. bt wld it still qualify for external force??.
If it doesnt, we surely don't have any control of our own life!! that's disturbing :(
yeah i know the thought is disturbing.... but then again.... may be what we think comes from within is really an external force wrt to life..... after all we are not life itslef are we?
