Pollution, inflation, corruption..... common man is being crushed under ever increasing burden.
To add up to the plight, our own government is losing not a single chance to increase taxes.
Not a single soul is problem-free. Kids are worried about the homework... teenagers are worried about the scores and then admissions...
Youths are worried about the jobs.... Senior citizens are worried about the pension funds....
Women are worried about the gas prices.... and men are worried about the petrol prices....
Our leaders? They are worried about the votes.
Problems are every where. So what to do? Think about the worries and get more worried?
No folks!!! Just thinking is not going to solve your problems. Learn to face them head on. Make them a part of your life. Does rose ever get hurt by its thorns? No. Take your problems with you. They will never bother you. Smile at them and they will stop horrifying you.
In short, be a MAD!! Sometimes it's wiser to be mad ;)
Here is a song for you that explain the logic for being mad. It was penned in 1994. But each and every word is applicable even today. A proof of India's so called progress (?).

If we get to face a lot of difficult situations in life, we automatically stop bothering about them. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going is so true!

We can all be MAD about everything going on now. Our country is in a MESS---and I do get MAD when I listen to some of the things going on here. BUT--I don't like feeling mad---so I have to get out in nature (take a walk, work in the garden, etc.) --just to make me feel much better.
Hugs,
Betsy
:) hmm
interesting take...music is the best tool to get rid of madness and also to get mad at the same time :)
Thats a very different way to look at things, very interesting. Nice work. Its indeed a mad mad world out there.
True that! Instead of being crushed by obstacles in life, we need to put them under our feet and use them as a ladder to climb new horizons! And this is possible if only we stop cribbing and start acting! Very Well said, Ashwini!

Hard to believe this is your first video editing. Watching and listening to it was a fun way to "de-stress."
Don't just get mad; get involved in a solution.
I just stopped by from BPOTW. Hopefully you can stop by mine http://charlottesmenagerie.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-to-tell-if-its-boy-or-girl.html
I just found your blog thanks to Best Posts of the Week and I like your writing and admire your philosophy. I hope you'll visit me sometime at Chubby Chatterbox. If you do, press the join button and I'll return the compliment. Have a great week.
@Charlotte: Thanks for the compliment. I went through your post. It's sweet :)
@Stephen: Thanks for stopping by. I must say Mrs. Chatterbox is lovely :)
we cannot control events or people...we can only control our reaction to events and people... I try to avoid becoming mad at anything as a reaction..but then i don't have an answer either..
i am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
@momoto8: Agreed.... that's why I like the thoughts expressed in this song. We cannot control events or people, so why complain about them? Rather stop worrying and face the situation.
