A satchet full of cliche

They say school life beats working life hands down.
They say all will end too soon before you can even say stop.
They say life isnt about the moola.
They say life is about passion.
They say childhood is a phantom tale.
They say all things will fall into place.

The comfort we live by in lies, beliefs, faith and cliche. Nobody really delve deep into such seemingly useless thoughts. They are thoughts nonetheless but inherently casual in nature. Nobody is going to call on an arrest warrant to nap the guy who preached about "Life isnt abt earning big bucks and slogging the shit out of your living daylights." Its about your own take and your own perception. After all there is no written rule as to how you should live life. Its your own responsibility. And maybe even your own liability.

And so, we will soon enter the working community and slog our asses off big time. Uh huh and that itself is also beginning to sound cliche. I mean what else can we rely on before the weight of the world suddenly hurdles down on our shoulders. Who else can we really trust to better prepare ourselves for a brand new phase. Confronting new frontiers and treading new grounds is daunting but the challenge is almost tackled by just taking it on. Overcoming that mental obstacle requires a bit of assurance from those who did it before and hence we consult the experienced and hence, the cliche and the tons of advices we have heard over and over again. It may sound the same over and over again but it is comforting cos it is reassuring. That desire for comfort is just so to alleviate the anxiety and possibly fear of the future.

Once the frontline is cleared and the challenge undertaken, all seem pretty much the same as before just that it isnt. Or is it? Then perhaps at that moment, we shall come face to face with yet another satchet full of cliche.
