For its own sake!

Doing things for its sake was a Socratic dictum which is rarely taken heed of in modern society with its fierce completion, and trying to do things to beget something else in return. The idea that one may not be governed by a blatant calculation of seeking something is verily a far cry. It has always been running around to get rewards. Where one differs from this, the subject is often deemed to be mad, or at least not with the ways of the world with its competitions and its ideas of enhancing adding value to one’s asset from a blatant materialistic perspective. Or, one is viewed as a weirdo amidst the so called normal at maintaining oneself within a fiercely competitive world. They say that everything needs to be so directed. Try and make use or adopt that Socratic norm and you are seen as a bizarre if not abnormal as if trying to follow the pattern of the set norm is what life is all about. For, however, it is a mystery to just be different and not be with the ways of a world which tries to stifle our being. Let’s simply observe that there are little in that ferocious obnoxious ways of a frantic lifestyles from which one is no more at peace but always running from.
Or without the fruits to be gained the motivation may simply not be. At the same time there is almost no event towards not recognising others efforts at trying to make sense of the worldly way with its pettiness and embedded materialism which forces one into subjugation. Or it is a case of always seeking something as not to do so would be considered being out of one’s mind. Try doing something voluntarily and one is labelled as crazy for all life is centred towards towards reaping of rewards in one form or the other. Not to do so is not considered to be of the ways of the world.
Either one joins the party of being arrogant, envious and full of hatred or you are not in the team. The team is considered to be those involved in a certain way, abide by some principles which may not be quite authentic but all the same a way to accept and abide by a certain norm and that usually is about seeing life as that which always gives to oneself where one naturally becomes a searcher to keep collecting dues to add on to one self. Those who tries giving freely are viewed not that politely as they are against the spirit of each one for oneself. It is a form of bourgeois culture which simply revel at the few against the many. Or a division in place and from which one thrives, where there is no real understanding bar at trying to work on the basis there is a me, an all important being and the other, a threat or at least a competitor. Yet there is a certain happiness at trying to maintain such a status quo, since it is believe that as each seeks more and more, this creates in itself a way to be or the way to be, where what matters is life on the superficial level, a platform which merely denigrates any other who dare call for an alternative way to be. One is deemed either to be within such a worldly way even if it be at a crudest level rather than extending an arm in cooperation. Or the latter aspect is not seen as being in any way important.
Giving or reaching out to others to others may not be quite in their vocabulary which are dominated by the ways which seeks to do everything but for their ego self and in the process ignoring others about them to be polite. Often other inbuilt negativism emerges where the crude feels there way even if it damaging and create divisions is the way to be.
Proponents of the mainstream views are also always there to seek and keep adding on by whatever means necessary to their being in total disregard to others , and in a kind of a monologue believes that theirs are what defines life whereas of those which we are trying to expose herewith in the mode of doing things for its own sake has virtues of being-ness embedded in them or the latter is sure another way , a non ruffian way at being with others about us in a camaraderie where it is not about fierce competition or a simpleton of imposing of hatred, arrogance or using envy as as a base for moving along. The strategy of doing things for the sake of it is to keep reaching out to every other where the latter is verily not someone to be outdone but one to be hailed as simply being another.
The problem with the seeker of the crude approach that is of denigrating the other whether in a sophisticated or blatant one is that one is seen as the measure of all things about and us where one resides in a fragmented way which sees one as being the most important or a rampant me-ism. This approach denies the facet of challenging norms of society and oozing at a model where it is never a question of trampling on others for one’s being.
They are content that their way is the vision of what the worldly should be like, totally disregarding-the cry of the few as they feel they have knowledge to lead albeit in their outdated vision of seemingly nourishing hatred and anger as its base to be on which they thrive as they sows other deeds of envy and divisions
There is a unity of approach where it is an us-ness that merges in that dense forest of apprehension where one sees a unity of purpose, away from that wretched form which denies the other, a way to be, an alternative to the norm where things are built on frictions. The point about doing something for the sake of it is almost a dreamlike way to be and yet it seems that this is an alternative which to be sure questions the traditional way of being on the platform of the mundane as here it is very much about seeing sense in a lifestyles which calls out for reflection……
