wherever the road takes us, if there is one.

for some uncanny, unconcieved reason, you and i were born. well, not just because our parents wanted us to be, it's much more complicated than that. i think.
i dont think birth is only a result of willing/unwilling procreation or a desire and the will of two people to create an offspring alone, babies are not born just because their parents wanted to...
think about all those pre-mature deaths. babies dying within seconds after delivery, still-born kids etc...definitely the mothers of such 'unborn new-borns' did not wish it so or control any part of it (well, to a huge extent)...why? why did the rest of us survive? or, why didnt they? sure, there are m.d's who could give us plethora of information as to how such events take place, but... why?

natural selection? survival of the fitest? or bloody damn divine intervention? or do the 'babies' choose??

why were you and i born the way we are? what did we do to deserve how ever we were physically and mentally equipped at 'time 0'?
i guess the road brought us there. the road to life i presume. dont know who built it, dont know how we got on it, just know we came through it.
strangely enough, the road to death also seems to be built by someone else...and we have no choice but to travel on.
i dont think we are capable of building any roads at all. we cant fly, so forget not needing a road. there is no water, so dont even think about it. the sharks would eat you up anyway.
whats worse is that the bloody road is one-way. you just cant, no matter what, turn around, whether you are on a car/bus/bike/cycle or your feet. i suppose the only thing you can control is the speed at which you travel. slower the better in this case.

we have no idea or memory of travelling on the road to life...immediately after you cross the end of that road (i.e. you are born), you are automatically embarked on the road to death. bloody hell.

therefore, life = road to death.

the only thing we can argue over, is the quality of travel on the road...people would say that depends on you...you decide how many bumps or ditches you want to go over and how fast or slow...the way you live your life (travel on the road to death) is entirely upto you.

bull.

we didnt even make the bloody road!! it was already there and we were just 'put' on it! what the hell can i do if the municipality does a crappy job!? i definitely would not make holes on the road just to go over them for fun! and guess what, the speed also is'nt much under our control either. sure, we can go much faster...but we cant go slower! oh, there is also no stopping too....no sight-seeing, or quick breaks from the journey. funny how we wish every road was an auto-bahn! this road does not have a maximum speed limit, but has a minimum speed limit. you just cannot go slower than a very-fast speed, but you can go very very very fast, or very very very faster. surely beats the auto-bahn.

(not too sure about airbags in the car or helmets also...)

so here we are, on an uncharted road which no one knows where it started from or would end at. all we know is, we have to go where ever the road takes us.
