Work - Life: The vanishing subtle Life's "Rose Line"

Every morning the sun ray shines with the same vigor that it had been shining for all these millions of years. The birds chirp on the early glimpse of light and start catching their prey and sing duets all along the time playing with its fellow mates, sometimes fight. The work of nature has been the same every day except for the humans.


Its been a very long time since I have seen these acts of nature in vivid color and splendid. With the work becoming more important to one's livelihood since the advent of the "Dark Times" (read as RECESSION). The work time has slowly encroached the personal time and extended to very late wee hours in the early morning, working almost like a machine on projects that have such unimaginable time-frames to complete. Long gone are the days where I used to watch TV for leisure and read books for relaxation, watching the sun go down in the evening from the roof top of home, playing and roaming with friends. These days its even hard to see the sun shine in early morning as day starts (only thing I see is the Moon shining when my day starts) or the cool breeze running down the hair when you walk in the park (now replaced by walking in the mid-day hot sun with half closed sleepy eyes). 
 
The work life has crept in with a whip in the hand, that the once identifiable "Rose Line" (read as Work - Life Differentiators) of real life has slowly and definitely diminished to almost a dot in one's life and it wont be soon lost to the sands of time. Instead of working for a better life, we have made work as life and losing our personal life in the process of living. 
 
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is the old adage which has become relevant in the present and future of one's life. but today the adage is changed to
"All work and no play makes Jack - a master of trade with life in a cage"
