21st Century Fun
FUN-
describing this word might kick us into a bowl of questions. What exactly is fun?
Is it going out partying around , or if fun by hitting on strange people ,
getting laid or is it going out, exploring places, going on picnics, outings,
road trips, family dinners, playing cards or just sitting underneath the moon
light with the love of your life.
Fun
means different to different people. Has a different aspect in everyone’s life.
Each of us is born with a propensity to have fun doing certain type of activities. It is something that is not limited to a particular age group,
community or society.Fun just describes the real person in you.
In
olden days the scope and different ways to have fun was very limited. Fun was
considered something that could only be enjoyed with family and friends and not
unlike today where we meet random strange people at a rave and tag it as fun.
Books, friends, family, harvest feast, ball dances, used to be the main sources of fun. For
some “really into sex type” men, fun was going to brothels or having sexual
intercourse with their wives. Well a proved fact of the population explosion
back then. Sex was considered to be the ultimate activity to have fun back in those
days.
Though
even today, involvement in sexual activities is the major way by which most of
the adult’s fun but fun in 21st century is way beyond one can even imagine. The
basic concept of fun is still the same but its technology that has just shifted
fun from being earthed to sky rise level. Time is one such phenomenon that
limits the fun we could have. That wasn’t so in the olden days. Positive attitude,
a spirit and stamina to enjoy after a long tiring week at work, passion and
determination is needed now to have fun.
Fun
in the 21st century involves mostly drinking, clubbing, going out to nearest
hot spots on weekends, going out on random dates etc. It not only helps us to be
the real person(as in self realisation types) but it helps us to relax mentally as well. After an entire week
of nagging, running behind the boss, trying to cope up with the world, weekends
serve for the best time to have fun.
The
best part about having fun is that you can be you, not the person that you
have to pretend to be in the society. Giving time to smile at random stuff can
be fun, enjoying your hobby can be fun. Bob Basso (not very known to people like
us, a philosopher by the way), once said, “If it’s not fun, you’re not doing it
right”. No matter what you do try to make that fun. Try to make serious
situations funny, except for one like a funeral.
Fun
can be real by getting involved in some real activities and faux fun well it’s
just our very own alcohol. Consume alcohol and it will take you to such
a level , to such a place that even the real fun will seem to be useless when compared with it. Whereas for people who are boring they call fun filled people immature
just because they don’t know what fun is or maybe they do not have the right
set of people to show what’s fun.
Fun,
a scintillating aspect, a controversial part for every teenager, a word that
moves the floor of parents of a young girl. One word, one activity, but
different measures –different concepts.
