Life is a quotation

Most of us live within quotes and die within quotes.
Dream, we sure do. But do we dare to get out there and do what is needed? We all choose our little comfort zones and stay put.
Compromise is probably the way of life.
Life is mimicry, they say. And that to me is the scariest part of life. If all that we can ever be is a fragile copy, then why live at all! Our thoughts reflect others' thoughts, our opinions guided by others', our taste is determined by that of others', the grand choices and decisions of our lives are ruled by others. Their reality becomes our reality. All in all, we are under the spell of this anonymous larger-than-life 'other'.
Passion, freedom, originality - are they all mere myths?

“Slept, awoke, slept, awoke, miserable life.” Franz Kafka

I love the first line.

Shruthi,
Nothing is myth. You need to take calculated risk and if you give up all luxuries in life, life will be simple, then you can take risk

Joseph, the first line was enough, wasnt it. the rest was a feeble attempt to elaborate.
