The concentration of Life.

I still remember the titrations I did in my Chemistry Lab in class 11th and 12th and the importance of having exactly the same concentrations in order to have the color formation. On my favorite habit of relating academic things to life, I will try to interpret the "molarity"or normality or in non-technical terms the right concentration of life. How should we live our lives, how should we have the right mix of emotions? Where do we stand as of today and where actually should we?
Let us look at where we are today! The "should be" life as we all define is one which is full of joy, happiness, love, care, affection. Childhood dreams of a romantic date, a warm hug, a passionate kiss, a heavenly feeling on special occasions are what we put in our "should" be life. But cometh the mid of the 20s and we are disillusioned. We interpret life as something very harsh, practical, and rude and attach all sorts of adjective which make us realize that it is not a fairy tale as assumed. Many just take things as they come and call themselves the realists and few think about it and get confused.
I don’t know how many appreciate the fact that we ourselves have to take the blame for facing this jolt of the so called "reality". Crushes, affairs, relationships are the norm of the day. We all have them at some point of time and that "point" is surely before the disillusionment point. Have not we felt the emotions sometime? How many times can you use your emotions? Or better put how many times can you feel the same intensity of the same emotion. Using the titration analogy, I remember I used to run my base too fast and go a lil beyond the titre point and then almost always faked by putting a few more drops of acid ;). Are we ready to put that extra bit of zest in the second or possible third or more relationship of ours? Think over it, for feeling the same heavenly feelings again and making the relationship work exactly the way we want, we need that creativity, we need that fire within ourselves first. We have had felt those divinely emotions at some point of time and to appreciate them again or to derive the same pleasure out of them, we must consciously make efforts to enjoy them.
The Age of Seducers: I would not categorize myself as being audacious by declaring the present times to be the age of seducers. After having heart burn so many times (ironically, people still go for it, even after failing once, twice, thrice! I guess the search for happiness is ever continuingJ), people have categorized themselves as realists and anti-social. They have the repressed emotions. Repression from society, repression from themselves sometimes, they just want to break free. Any person giving them a sense of feeling of freedom would be so easily received that you need nothing more than a gentle push to start moving. In fact it would be a free flow without any natural resistance.
I would conclude by saying that it is not a bad thing to live your life as this but be brave to appreciate that you have had your share of feelings and next be generous to give the people their share of feelings. J There is nothing bad in taking the maximum out of life and breaking out of the norms but surely repenting should not be the culmination. :)
