The road that need not be trodden

Why does a human being feel the need of assurances, approvals and the vertical nods of the heads from the society for their actions? Are they looking for some indicatives for assurances that, whatever they are doing is the thing they were supposed to be doing, as per norms established by do not know whom. Or are they not looking for nothing more than the normal mundane life., moving on the paths laid by the traveler before themselves on those paths and think of those indicatives as the directions to reach a destination, in all probabilities not even theirs, since they did not pause in life to look, observe, think, learn,…to set their own destinations. They probably found the destination and success story of a past traveler more appealing.
Why do we fear to surge new paths, to discover our own selves? We need not lay the path, for any later traveler, rather let them find themselves in their own sweet lifetime. Why waste ours, following the road to a destination that is not ours and waste further in laying a road that should need be travelled by anybody later? Live and let live, I truly understand the meaning of these terms in its entirety now.
The road to somewhere, anywhere, nowhere, probably there…just go and explore. Life is not a destination, it’s the journey to the destination , from where probably begins another chapter, (atleast for those who believe in after life).
Do we really need a purpose to live, a goal to survive, an aim to be achieved? Can we not just live, enjoy the living in our own way, do what brings us joy, may be just momentary? Few may call it passive living, a purposeless life of no use to anybody..but so what?
Living because I am born…in a manner that suits me, suits me just fine, atleast for now. All that matters right now is to be able to see into those eyes staring back at you from the mirror and not feel let down. There may come a time, when this perception towards life may change, for now I am good, thank you.
