Imagine a universe where you can choose your future from a catalog. You flip through it and say, “I would like to experience this and I would like to have that product. I would like to have that person in my life”. All sound so cool and incredible but still it’s frictional. We are in constant phobia of what will happen next, we are in constant worry of one question what’s going to be our next move either in context of big doubt like future spouse, career, relations, place of residence, family to minute hesitation like will he get angry on me, will I clear the exam, will I get the ice-cream at this hour, will I get less jammed metro.
People search ways to get out of their misery or critical condition but still all in vain. When all doors close, superstition or speculation drives in by window.
