Existence?

-

Let's talk about the sole purpose of existence. Things ranging from, does our existence really matter in the vast spectrum of the universe to can we really decode the mystery of life is what we're gonna see today.

I feel life is a vacation in an unknown destination for around a 100 years. You see what control do you have over it? You may say I always have a choice and I decide whatever happens with my life. Okay, I am cool with it, but that's not what I am talking about. I mean to say what is the sole purpose of being when you look at it from a point of view of time. Think yourself having the brain you have right now but in a body of a dinosaur how would you have lived? Would you really consider things like I am here and my goal is to leave Earth a better place than it was before or I want to help my community or I want to help the one's struggling with life. Of course, there are things you could have done even being a dinosaur but that's why I gave you a human brain. You know all of them extinct someday. So what was the point of it all? I know it's similar to something like, since we're gonna die anyway why bother doing something right? But no; yeah there's history and we still learn so much from the fossils and different kinds of lives on Earth previously; I agree. My question is, so what? We would just have a little less information to study that's it? What was the point of dinosaurs existence? Corollary to that, what is the point of our existence? I have no clue. If your viewpoint is minute in terms that's great and you'll always have things to work upon but if you look at it in a broad perspective, you start to question; all of this what for? or is it because we're just used to get a specific answer to a question while writing exams that we can't deal with the fact that Life is a mystery and hence I also called it a vacation.

But then if Life really is a vacation. What's beyond it? The milky way, the entire universe and things beyond it what does it really mean? Why does only Earth have Life? or if there are planets why haven't we made friends with them yet? What's beyond the universe? Why did the big bang happen? Some energy of few millimeters exploded to create the entire universe? Wtf? and where does God fit in here? By god I remember, sages suggest the only way to get these queries answered while being alive is via meditation. Why so? and if I can get all my answers by just meditating why should I bother living or working hard to make a living? 

So what do we do after all of these doubts? There's no answer, at least I don't have any. How do I deal with it? I am struggling honestly, but I think if you take Life as a vacation wherein you do what's right morally, ethically while enjoying the work you do; you'll be rewarded with death because probably the best thing that can happen in terms of getting our queries answered is death. You see, if you're curious for knowledge; death doesn't seem so bad does it!

What is it like to share your life with someone?

There are a handful of memories which stays with you for a lifetime, moving out of your parents house and living alone is one and that feeling gets a total new turn when you start living with someone. Of course here living with someone infers to living with your partner rather than a roommate/friend because you picture your life with that person in a totally different way compared to a friend. You start to share responsibilities of the household together and it feels like you’re starting a new home outside of your real home where you were brought up in. All the things initially are very rosy and you’ll love every bit of it and then slowly the differences will creep in. You’ll want to do something and your partner would want something else. In most cases you will be able to find a common ground and resolve the issues but there will be times when both of you will be poles apart. Such situations will create a havoc in your relationship. You’ll start questioning what’s the point of being t

Why do many people stay mediocre in life | A Philosopher's Perspective

Mediocrity more than a self realization stems from the society’s expectation from us; which is not necessarily a bad thing. And in this article we will understand why. But before we understand that, here is why people stay mediocre in life. Most people stay mediocre in life because they get accustomed to the comfort zone they’re in. Even if they’re not really where they want to be, extended period of anything be it a bad situation becomes comforting and it becomes very difficult to choose uncertainty over comfort. Credits: Unsplash Cocooned in the comfort zone It is obvious that someone who is drowning will put his life to swim above the water even though he doesn’t know how to swim. But someone who already knows how to swim and is not in a difficult situation is relaxed and stress free. Now if you ask him to level up his swimming skills or to learn surfing, seeing the amount of learning curve it has, he will rather opt out of it. This scenario happens to all of us countless times in

When you loose touch of your previous self - The Good and The Bad

Okay this post is a realization and reflection of what I’ve been going through. To put it bluntly, I have not written anything in past couple of months. Although the dates on each post reflect reach month but that is adjusted, I have not touched the keyboard in about half a year. And I feel I have lost touch of writing, not only does this feel like a task task, I don’t see the point altogether. Maybe I need sometime to revive my old though process but frankly I don’t want to. I am planning to quit writing, by this obviously I mean writing articles on this blog. I still believe writing as a way to vent out suppressed emotions is one of the best ways to heal and grow. I don’t know why but since yesterday when I decided that I will stop writing, there was a sense of relief in my mind that I do not have to do all of these tasks and now I can utilize all of this time for something else. I maybe wrong in this and if that is true, you’ll see me back here again but if not, Sayonara it is!
