SOMETHING'S SO FUNNY ABOUT LIFE


A very familiar yet interesting thing came to my mind when I was just going about doing daily chores. It suddenly came i thought it to be so funny.Human life is really funny if you look at it.When you don't have food, your whole attention is centred on filling your stomach somehow.After that is done and becomes a familiar thing, the next thing man wants is shelter, own or rented. After that comes a regular source oft sustenance, a job, business or whatever. Then comes sex,accompanied with the emotional and psychological need for a companion.Some people with a higher level of consciousness, understand this need at a greater level and look for an intellectual and/or spiritual communion along with all these. Along with all these come into being baser needs like getting known and appreciated by all and the sundry, rising the social ladder etc. It is for some people. Some go beyond this and create different marks, happy with themselves and their own individual thoughts. But I was thinking how our needs grow from one to another, then to another. If we abduct a very rich and famous man from his surroundings and put him in an uninhibited island, he will rediscover his needs just like this. First he will go mad after food and shelter, then for human company, then other hungers etc.

It's only a thought.

Winter is a bygone thing now.
Today a lovely wind started blowing and made realise how lonely life is.
A rain will come afterwards and Nature will turn beautiful still.
There is a question raising it's head, about life and living.
About choosing between the highest, the most beautiful and a compromise.
The question is universal.
We do make a choice between the sublime and the ugly.
The transitory and the permanent.
Excitement and bliss.
Unfortunately, life doesn't allow us all sort of experiences. It grants only some.
And if we look deep, it also protects us and prevents us from falling into the abyss of ignorance and its consequences. It does show us the path to the higher, the unknown, the exalted, the different.It is up us to be able to hold courage or be safe.

Who has the answer?
Even if there is, how do you translate it into reality?

Love to all fellow humans.
