Due to my predicament of not being able to sleep, I tried watching various local stations on the television and I felt like they were also sleeping. It was just so boring, I watched repeated broadcasts. It seemed they too needed rest. I took hold of a novel and soon got bored I became restless. I tried to force myself to sleep so I shut my eyes and listened to music. After a while, I noticed that my hearing organ was picking out the lyrics and my brain was calculating too.
I stopped and started thinking of so many things, reasons why things are the way they are and we humans just accept and get by it without any change or argument about the way they are.
I understand that the night is always quiet because people are resting except from the disturbing cries of the new born. Apart from that, I would really like to know why these certain hours are chosen for resting? Why do people get tired during this period and sleep during the hours of the night?
Why is it called 'night' and why is it always dark with only the moons and stars in the sky? These questions may sound odd but have you ever really thought of the reasons because there are no definite answers irrespective of scientific proof or may be I'm the naive one here.
Why can't we work at night and sleep during the day? The funniest thing is that sleep lost at night can't be regained with several hours of sleep during the day. One could say the night is magical as it has its spell on us. But why can't we reverse these situations and do things differently? Why do we always follow the trend we meet?
Have you ever wondered if the 24hours that are claimed to be in a day is complete? Has anyone ever studied every minute to make sure 60seconds are contained in it? Right! I do wonder why sometimes time just flies you loose control over your activities. Though scientists do say that sometimes we have shorter days, longer nights and longer days, shorter nights. This can be really annoying when you have a lot of things to do.
As a student, you will pray for shorter days, longer nights especially in cases of boring lectures and unlimited assignments. Watch it, not only students but white collar workers also want to work a few hours and go home to rest. The only exception I can think of are the blue collar workers who sweat to make their own money each passing day. They are the ones who would wish for longer days and shorter nights but they also need to rest too.
Can someone just one day, wake up and change things around the world? Can we just increase the number of hours in a day to 34 in which 10hours are only for working? Or we could have 5days in a week in which 3 are working days. Or would our brains be dull due to too much relaxation? Can we just change things around here like working at night and resting during the day... Let's rename everything and make it feel like our own world and not just some oval shape like thing we found ourselves in trying to get by with a routine. Let's get married at age 30 and not consider it wrong because we are used to a certain way of life. Let's live without spending money. I mean, let everything be free! Cool right? What would you like to change around here? Fashion, music, movie industry, agricultural sector, people's mentality, or what? You decide, you change it!
Let's Rule Our World... Y.O.L.O
