I thought it was all over..i mean,trying to answer those questions that life takes unbound pleasure in posing before a 'poor child'(no, not a child actually ..couple of years back i even crossed my 'prized' teenage, though still nostalgically entangled in the time that i must learn is passe) or a 'poor human being'(sounds more apt?) every now and then.Alas! ..There was an entire questionnaire waiting to grab the slightest chance to help me sweat my brain.The ones that had always lingered in my head.And today they are back and adament on not letting me escape this time..So,the big questions are....Why are we here for?What is expected out of us as quintessential human beings?Why is it sometning baffeling if we prefer to remain ordinary?Why is it that the 'should' factor is abashedly intimidating?Why do we 'have' to be 'practical'?(the word seems to me still as puzzling as ever)..Why cant we live life on life's own?Why cant we be like the stars that keep twinkling and never fail to charm the onlooker no matter each is just like a speck in the face of sky(here the optimist in me reminds me of the words of one of my great teachers ,'Cmon girls,make something of yourself before it is too late because its only here that you can make something of yourself.Outside this collage campus you are nothing more than a speck of dirt..')Aaah... those inspiring words ..they keep haunting me ..... in the midst of all the talk i cant afford to put down the last but the most dreary one..where can i find an answer to at least some of them???
The optimist in me is not happy with such troublesome thoughts and would not let the poor pessimist take over.For,it does not want to embroil in the futile battle of intrigues.It asserts that though she too hasnt found an answer to any of them,she is nonchalant and better off with things to look up to....and she gave me this super mantra to disentangle myself...which says ,'dont bother ,Just bear in your mind the words of a wise man who once said:the three essentials of happiness are,to have something to do,to have something to love and to have something to hope for'.
Very true indeed...the time we are getting now is something which is never coming back,this is when we can & we are indeed moulding our personality & direction of life.By the way interesting to see this philosophical side of Horizon..!!

@wordzlord
ReplyDeleteThanks friend...for the feedback and for your suggestions..hope God will help me find answers to all of them...though i also feel that such thoughts of mine should be ephimeral.Aftrall life's more about doing than being hassled by futile intrigues...
Anyways,thanks again and have a great going!
