Life/ MS Word

I bet no one in this world is completely satisfied with what they have or with their lives. We all at some point or the other feel like we need an undo button in our lives. It’s more like we would all enjoy a life which could be like one of many applications that are around these days. One of the most common one which I am sure many of you have used is the Microsoft word. Currently, I am in a state where I would have probably used all the functionalities that there are in Microsoft Word.

Imagine the convenience of having a file new, more like life new, and choose from the assortment of templates, be it a blank beginning or one of the other available patterns, or we could just customize it as per our likings. Then you have all the controls of picking what you exactly want in this life/file; the colors, the font, pictures, links, references, and many more. You can set the boundaries as per your own convenience, you can delete stuff if you don’t like them anymore, and you can visit back your life file, edit, re-edit as many times you want. You can undo, and if you are not satisfied, redo and undo again. All conveniently, and a life like that would be just perfect. 

As I am typing this post, I am beginning to wonder, the importance our lives would have had, had it been like a MS Word app. Our lives would have been as insignificant as any of those word files; the significance would have been lost in the convenience. Cause then we would all know nothing in this life/file is worth a magnitude as it can be undone or redone as per our whims and fancies and whenever we want. 

However, there are also people who live in this world for whom not theirs but others lives are nothing more than an MSWord file. And they can deplete to any extent to get their way, causing a nuisance and tarnishing others lives with their antics. Can they for once come out of their pretence and not masquerade their real intentions? I have no clue how they can live with a lie every day. Wonder if their conscience ever hurts? 

It is one thing to wish for your own life to be an MS Word file and it’s totally other when you treat other’s lives as inconsequential as an MSWord file.
