Does your answer change?

This is going to be my first interactive post. By that i mean i am going to interact with you :) [Height of redundancy]

Let me begin with asking you a question - If i say that after TODAY things are going to change and you have no way to escape it. You have no idea how the change is going to be - Will it make things better - will it make things worse - or it will not change anything for YOU. How would you feel about the change ?

Pause a while - think - proceed
.

Would you feel afraid of the unknown? Would you feel anxious? Would you be curious? Would you give in to the fear of change and want to avoid the change? Or you would welcome it? Let me remind you that you have absolutely no idea what the change is going to be like?

Without the knowledge of any variable whatsoever involved, the probability of it being good/bad/neutral stand equally poised at 1/3 , 1/3 and 1/3. But still having this logical knowledge about the event - what is the feeling you get?

You want to avoid it - You look forward to it - You dont care about it ????

Please answer this for yourself now - How do you feel about that change which is going to happen and you have no idea about its effects?
Give it a serious thought before scrolling down.

Back to the city

Am back to the city
Where there are few rules on the road
But alas there is no hurry
everything is close by

Am back to the city
less money - lesser ways to destroy
fewer ambitions maybe
but content with their lives

Am back to the city
i grew in and left for behind
for riches and better prospects
somewhere else i shall find

and on the way are people
like me who have seen the rest
who will try to make the city "BETTER"
thinking they know the best

i will show them fun
i will show them comfort
i will make them want it all
i will buy their land
i will sell them that
i will see the city fall

It will become big
it will become crowded
It will progress and we will believe
that the small city i used to live
this is its fate
that is meant to be

wish i could stay
in a simple way
knowing my neighbour's name
will share some sweets
will feel good they are there
and they shall feel the same

I dont need the big tower
I dont need the big shop
I dont need the big roads
Where people loose their hearts

I dont need the money
I dont need the comfort
I dont need the city
Where neighbours live apart
