Abhimanyu and We!

Abhimanyu participated in the Mahabharata war when he was sixteen years old. During the Mahabharata war, Abhimanyu held at bay great warriors such as Drona, Karna, Duryodhana and Dushasana. Abhimanyu entered the war fighting the battle but then enemy had made such trap (Chakravyuh) that he couldn't break away from it and eventually got killed.

In today's world, we also get trapped in various temptations, responsibilities and then can't find real ourselves.

1. Once a child is born, he/she is trapped in expectations of the parents.
2. Then, in current world, it is technology which take control of mind of the kid.
3. We form our firm opinions which take control of us for rest of the life. We never realize how much these opinions restrict our abilities to see the world with open eyes.
4. We then fall in love with someone. People love a person for selfish reasons many times. They love someone else because by doing so the pleasure sensations in their brains are triggered. More intense these sensations are more addicted the person is to that love. Sometimes people make sacrifices for their love.  Because love makes them weaker. They can't stand the thought of loosing the person whom they love.
5. Then comes professional life. Some people become successful in it, and then get entrapped in their own successful image. They have to continue to keep on trying to maintain this successful image
6. Some people have to resort to not so legal ways of earning money. They become part of system / chain which don't let them break free from it. So they are also trapped.
7. Then we get trapped with our loves for our kids.

In short we all are Abhimanyus. The only difference being, the real abhimanyu entered war at his own choice, we don't have that choice.
