Stairs

Stairs are curious things. It is made up of steps of wood, cement or may be hopes and dreams. Steps merge to have an identity. Hopes and dreams merge to have an ambition. Steps can take you both up and down and still remain the same set of stairs. Hopes and Dreams can lead you to a better life or a worse one, still being the same set of ambition. There is an ever present risk in taking stairs i.e. of falling down. Also, how do you know that you are going up when using a stairs..umm... ya, You put each foot above the other. But, can we have an upside down world when each step upward takes you further down, to the horrible, horrific, hazardous depths. Social reality is always a construct. How far have we got into it? If we observe closely the narrow walls of our thoughts, I don't think we will be able to say that we are proud of what we see. Using C. W. Mills' "Third eye" (wherein we see and  reflect our lives from a third party perspective) we will be able to know how intensely are we stuck in this neck-deep mud of socialization. There is nothing that is freeing us anytime soon. We are all together in our wait for the doom. Who brings it? No, not god. But, us. Just that we aren't aware of reality of the worlds we live in. We don't even think that the question, "Whether the stairs are taking us up of down?" needs a mention. Will we ever be able and willing to question it, forget about altering it? Hence, I said ''Stairs are curious things." Keep this in mind the next time you use one!
