It is so very strange the ways of the world
One that we inhabit during our short stay
It is so very strange the ways of the world
One gets diverse experiences every other day
It is so very strange the ways of the world
All of us prefer to remain involved in our world
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Every man has to face his own unique world
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man finds it difficult to define his awareness of self
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man finds it difficult to accept his own identity of self
It is an enchanting fair that tempts you with its wares
It is just that most often its products don’t gel in a pair
It throws up myriad choices every other moment of time
It has made man believe that doing nothing is a crime
To some the obvious attractions are money, fame, and glory
To some the lack of any triggers a self depressing bout of worry
To some the fruits that attract are knowledge, awareness and health
To some they are the means to accumulate what they define as wealth
Some of us get preoccupied in the corridors of Corporate World
Some of us seek gratification in rendering Service to the World
Some of us furtively seek to discover the essence of the Spirit World
Some of us are completely lost in the over indulgences of our World
Some of us realize that it is an illusion and seek to find their way out of the maze
Some of us choose to widen their web of aspirations and periodically star gaze
Some of us realize the path they need to take but are chained by societal norms
Some of us break free from the shackles that gets perceived as an turbulent storm
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man has unlimited desires and yet aspires for detachment
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man ignores visible abundance amidst all the encroachment
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man spends his life in trying his best to blend
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man has to defend his turf until his eventual end
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man spends his entire time to shield his external cover
It is so very strange the ways of the world
Man finds it futile when he has to encounter his hour!

I seem to have a contrarian view for a change. The world in my mind is not strange. Neither do the ways of the world nor it's constituents seems strange to me.
What I find strange is our inability to accept it for what it is and try to fit it within the frame of reference that we are comfortable with or is convenient to us. Each one of us does that consciously or unconsciously. If one throws away the lens that we operate and try to look at the world through a different set of lens....nothing will seem strange.
If you go by the following rules the element of surprise and strangeness will vaporize:
a.)Change is a constant
b.)People (including loved ones) always through a surprise (at times shock) when you least expect them to
c.) Circumstances/Situations/Environment besides Personality/Attitude/Behaviors motivate people to say/do what they do
d.) Lack of consistency in actions/thoughts is a fundamental way of life for the average human being.
Put all of this together, there is nothing strange about the world.
