Drink, Dance and be Merry
"Do you drink?"
"No. And I never want to."
"Oh com'on. You should try it someday..."
This is how it all starts. I am sure a lot of you agree with me, and perhaps have had similar conversations. But one question that has haunted many a non-drinkers is, "Why do people drink?"
We live in a conscious world. We are aware, always. Not in the spiritual sense though, but people are always necessarily thinking about other people. What people think, say and do, matters. In this conscious world, there is no room for moments of embarrasment, or stupidity. All you care about is, looking good.
Living this constrained life, the mind often feels vexed. The thought of freedom feels like the gateway to salvation. But breaking the rules of the conscious world is unacceptable.
And then you drink. And as the divine liquid flows down into you, uniting with the juice of existence, suddenly, you sense no rules. The conscious world poses like a theatre of jokers, and you laugh at them. Your head spins, giving no chance to your mind to detach the good from the bad, coz you know there are no separating lines. All that is, coalesces into one, and you realize sanctity.
And that's when you dance, with no care in the world, with no worries about who's looking. You dance with this inexhaustible energy, the disco lights and rock music fuelling up every movement. You dance, and you don't drop. You dance till they throw you out.
It's a lovely way of living life. Drink, Dance and be Merry!
