Question: Sir, why do people celebrate festivals and are always desperately looking for holidays and vacations?
Answer:
This cycle helps us maintain the illusion is something great is going to come. In fact, this gives you nothing except its continuation till death.
When you work six days a week in a meaningless job that just makes you a machine, then you desperately need to party on Saturday night and Sunday. So, entertainment and parties and weekends and other ‘special days’ are needed. These entertainments ‘help’ us tolerate the torture of the entire week. So, in a way, it is because of these celebrations that we continue to tolerate hell.
The more frustrated and bored and suppressed the mind will be, the more will be its need to party.
Question: Sir, I understand that a frustrated mind will need to party. But if a person is working in any organization or firm then it is obvious that he has to follow certain rules and regulations set by the organization. And so he will definitely get bored by doing the same work again and again. The person continues to perform that work because that is a part of his living/earning. How can he manage to stop doing that work? He cannot get the opportunity to do different type of work every day.
