AND THE LIST GOES ON

The only place where n = n+1 is possible is possibly at the infinite. Humans are mostly at infinite. We always tend to want more; eventually more becomes more and more.

We want everything in excess, the result of which HAS DUMPED us in the ERA of consumers. We consume more than what we need; we dispose the things that are completely usable. This affects the climate, the working of the body, the life cycle, the inflation, the employment, name it and we can connect.

when I read my friend’s status message, which said “flight delayed by 14hrs, free internet, free food, what more do I want??”. Perfect even I would be happy with jus that, but Imagine if the same goes on for another 10hours, ok can manage, but after that as the clock ticks by, I would definitely like to rephrase the sentence.

Lets see, lets imagine the situation and go on. Free internet, free food, After being logged on to face book for some time now and seeing different photos of different people, I ll want a good camera to post my own pics, and then even though I am going to transfer the data in to the comp almost everyday, I ll want a greater capacity memory card. What is knowledge without power, so, now I ll want some batteries. How long can the same location put up with my face, I ll want to travel around and click more pics. Travelling… Transport please… more fuel please.... more Dress please, Can’t wear the same dress for too long, new ones now and ya sorry I forgot, matching foot wear and wrist gears please… when I am travelling I need to talk to friends and family, for that, I need a mobile phone with camera, music player etc etc. and to hold songs that are not on the mobile, an IPOD. What can all these things do without food? Restaurants …

. . . . . . . THE. . . . . ….. LIST. . . . .. .GOES . . …. ON….

Oops the list, I want some paper and markers, I need to go out to buy them, need a mobile to text my friends and hear TO some songs on the way (when I am going to buy them). The way?? vehicle, fuel, ….. THE LIST REALLY GOES ON AND ON….

And after completing the list with lots of difficulties, I come back home and sit in front of the MEDIA. Advertisements all over, new products, updates…..

Then I realize my OLD GOODS (not because they are really old, its jus because there are more newer goods, thus making the new goods old, so that the newer goods can become new and on the way products can become newer ones).

WHAT TO DO??? I AM HELPLESS AGAIN AND TO HELP MYSELF, THE LIST GOES ON.
