Norms and Burdens we carry secretly

There is a little world, the whole world, (some may call it a universe)
inside us. It exists in way our Mind, heart, body (sometimes in our eyes).
Anyone can peek into our eyes anytime and see what tornado is happening. But rarely any one sees the tornado. The tornado can be a
result of our environment, our experiences, our feelings, our own behaviour, our undesired job or relations, but most like
likely it is because of the things the unexplainable, but despicable, yet impeccable things.
What are those things for which I had to use three opposing adjectives? Those are norms, the normal things. We are surrounded by norms, the normal things in our life from the day
we are born till we die. Some might say norms are good for us they keep us disciplined, give us inspiration, keep us on track; save us from becoming abnormal, what if we become monk or saint. We need to remember that we have a job to do, we have a night dinner party where where norms will make us wear the smart casuals and will help us forgetting that we didn't have a me time in past two months,
So norms, the normal things help us everywhere from brushing om teeth twice a day on right time to asking colleagues about how are you today?
Hope you are fine! - even without listening. Our ears are closed, but still we ask Hope you are fine! this is norms. Everyone does it that is why it is norms.
One day I met norm and I asked "why do I have to follow you everywhere? why can't I be myself? Live fully following you is tedious. Depressing, behaving like I am somebody else, feeling like there is a
a tornado going inside my mind and body. I am not myself. How do I know it ? Well, when I am not very happy, it feels something is off the track. Moody. That is when I know the tornado has come. And it came because of you Norm.
In reply, Norm smiled and waved back at me. I was really frustrated. I said so many things to him. But only smiled and acted like a mule.
Well Norm is mute. All normal things which we follow are mute. Silent. They are not said, explained or Showed. They are only followed. They smile and wave back at us. and we
Start
following them. Just like the story We all have heard about Monkeys, and the Capsellers. All the monkeys starte throwing the caps followed by the Capseller At lyst capseller smiled and picked all his caps and smiled at the monkeys. We all behave. in om lives like the monkey without having mind Now you will say what horny have to do with fee burdens. Norms are burdens Burdens are norms. Of course norms keep us Sane humanly, well behaved, but many noo which we personally doesn't feel right are a burden. to secret self. Becaus upeo matter what we still follow the norms and their burdens.
