Am I Truman ?

After watching “The Truman Show” for the fourth time, I was once again lost in deep thoughts.

What if I am playing Truman in my life?

Is everyone judging me?

Do I really have no secrets?

What is the sadism in witnessing one’s life?

Each of us, have our rules. Rules, which we have made for ourselves. Rules that we think are right. These rules are so rigid and stubborn that they refuse to alter themselves even in the worst situation. With every passing day, these rules get embedded into our souls making each of us an individual and giving us a distinct identity.

Armed with these rules, we screen every person and his life and pass a judgement. All of us judge people, so do I. Infact, I think it’s my birth right! I am not saying this is wrong. But thinking your rules weigh more than the other’s and screening one’s life against your rules is wrong.

This revelation may not have ‘changed’ me but it has definitely made me a touché closer to those around me.

I ask myself: Can I witness my own life?

You ask yourself: Can you witness your own life?

Now, I’m able to watch life with a little less attachment to everything and it makes the day easier. I feel free.
