Transit lounges…..

I found my self on a transit lounge again, in a different land and in a different time. This time being in AddisAbaba(Ethiopia) and with a different person, a young man to pass the next 5 hours.
Transit lounges sometimes become so symbolical and majestic to me, as if depicting the whole world in a small place. Allot of people from distant worlds and different times, trying to make their way from one gate to another, all these people acting like ships, floating in the sea of time, carrying loads of memories and experiences and a desire to keep the ship moving. The standing aero planes becoming the vessels of “desires”, advertising hopes of the Promised Land……. No wonder an eye watching us humans from a distant galaxy would have enjoyed setting up all its telescopes on these small transit junctions to see the generalization of human variety in its minuscule version……

Just like common day life, their are people in the lounge who are just trying to survive from one gate (moments) to another and a look of frenzy is apparent on their faces….and then there are these 2nd type of people who, suddenly finding a lot of time ,try to get the most out of it, by shopping, sleeping or just seem busy thinking planning ahead. A third type of people are those who just like in real life give a damn to the time given to them and having a look of boredom hanging on their faces, wander around hopelessly. The fourth type, i consider my self to be part of are the writers. They are basically one of the three types above, but wherever they are, a part of them is always writing inside them, be it just life-journalism, biography, a poem or just creating a fictional story of a sweet blonde encounter to amuse themselves..

For a while i tried myself to be the third type and thought of about how boredom is related to Consciousness. Perhaps the equation could be

(Consciousness) x (allot of time) = Boredom
(Consciousness multiplied by allot of time equals to boredom)

This equation may not be agreeable for the religious persons, as for them the ample amount of time multiplied by consciousness would be equal to Heaven. Perhaps the religious types are the first type who are while existing in present try to live in future. I think the second type are also the ones living in future. But then are the third type the ones who are living in present? And if so, can the living in present be boring? I think it should be unless we forget about time. Perhaps the equation could become then

(Consciousness) x (Forgetting time) = Peace

But is it really possible to forget time and be conscious at the same time?

Oh Just forget about it, you know you never gonna find these answers (a bloody 3rd typer you are), now see that blonde looking towards you…………………
