Traffic.. World's day to day Menace

My only wish this evening was to get back at home as soon as possible. Feeling happy secretly inside, I stepped out of the office with a longing to relax after the heavy work load I'm occupied with these few days (actually they are not over yet!)

I walked along the payment to where I usually stand and wait for my normal transport mode arrive at my footstep. I had been early, so I waited a while looking at the passing by. Five minutes went. Another 10 accompanied. No transport to be seen. People one by one are gathering near the road looking far beyond..

One lady behind me said something faintly that instantly caught my attention. The Road Has Closed! In a split second all my happiness turned into nightmare. The road entering into our city limits had closed for Security reasons. Best part was we didn't have any clue on when they will open the road for normal Traffic.

After waiting for almost one hour traffic started to flow in and i had a glimpse of my transport in far distance in that dim light of setting Sun.

Its true that all concerns should be given for the security of others BUT closing down a road for just nothing won't achieve anything for anybody. Just the people who are waiting eager to go home beore it gets dark, suffers.

Self Actualization

Under Maslow's Theory, there are few things in every human life which will realize the fulfillment or the ultimate achievement of a lifetime. For some being a millioneir would achieve that. Some might earn a Doctrate or one might even free a bird from a cage and achieve that fulfillment.

All humans run in a race of trying to fulfilling their needs. When certain goals are achieved on the way, many new targets or goals appear making it hard to fulfill certain level of dreams... These dreams always are popped up whenever the opportunity arise. And achieving these will make a human come to a self actualization.

People love running after goals and winning the race. But where exactly are we running in to? Has anybody given thought about it?
