Vortex

I have a million questions in my mind. Am I happy in my current job? Let us say im happy. Will I grow? Will I make a mark? Am I being paid what I deserve? What do I do with my slary? Splurge or Save? Should I live it up while I can? Should I be responsible?

            Seasoned veterans are smiling, the newbies are frowning and very few of you cant understand what I am speaking of.

            These are questions everyone of us are faced with. Maybe not the exact same questions but they all have the same dark root. The vortex. The vortex sucks us in by throwing up these questions. You will not feel the pull. You will not sense the power. You will not know the force. Ultimately when there is no going back, you look up and see, you are well and truly trapped deep in the vortex.

            As Morpheus said about the Matrix, "Nobody can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." This holds good for the vortex. It cant be seen, nor can it be felt, but it holds you in its vice like grip. It is this invisible quality that sets it apart.

            It has no physical form to be seen and analysed. It may be anything. It is not an entity that may be hunted. It could be a sequence of events, a person, a building, a sneeze . . .

Every move we make in life draws us in. The bad decisions we make sucks us right in while the good decisions simply put off the inevitable for a while.

            The vortex has slipped up. It has made a mistake. It has pulled down its strongest defense. It has taken a form. There is now a large group of people who are aware of the vortex. They have taken it upon themselves to free the others. They are everywhere. It is no secret. You know them. They are all aorund you. Your friends. Your enemies, Your neighbours. They are software engineers! The vortex is my bloody job! :(
