WORDS RATIONED — LESS IS MORE
Rat Race
A senryū
Pull rat out of race?
Pointless! ’Tis paramount you —
Pull rat out of rat.
— Aparna
We often complain about the rat race, forgetting that the race exists for us, only because we have chosen to be a rat. Escaping to a different environment, will not solve the problem, because we can’t run away from ourselves. Wherever we go, we will manage to create a new race, no matter how petty the playground. If we truly wish to opt out of the rat race, we need to bid adieu to the rat within.
If we truly wish to opt out of the rat race, we need to bid adieu to the rat within.
My ‘Words RATIONED’ series is my attempt to inculcate self-discipline and restraint; espousing the philosophy of ‘less is more’ in words, consumption, relationships, residue.
