Quite a few things have happened but as things stand at the present, it's a full circle.. so soon..
I recently saw a movie which got me thinking. What is our purpose? We are born. We live. Then, we die. Basically there is no purpose. We are just sentient beings who by some random chance happen to evolve in our present form and have assumed the consciousness which we are experiencing. Life is very short. It's not to be taken too seriously. So, this takes me to the next question. How do you define consciousness? Has your particular consciousness been conscious before or will it ever be again? Dunno. Almost impossible to answer. But it amazes me.
The sheer size of this universe and your relative relevance to that. We are not even a speck.
Chalo, now let's get to a micro level. The feelings, the experience, the way of living, the fear, the allays..
When a person is born, he/she is so innocent, completely oblivious. Life's completely defined by being born in a particular setup. We say that future is uncertain, cannot be predicted but like any system the output is dependent on the input and is influenced by external events. So, basically, the life one would live would be defined by the setup in which one is born. How Stupid.
Set yourself free. This is one message which I would like to give. One should do things.. Then only, you can see the outcomes. This is much better than never doing and wondering what would have happened. When making such a decision, just think what worst could happen. And if you are willing to live with the worst then, I, guess you should do that thing..
Knowledge is power, France is bacon.
