When the meaning is lost!

Life is a “vicious” cycle. There will be no end until you end. After 30 yrs, I am a long way to find my purpose. In the young mind, I already want to know why. Why all the hustle? Why all the trouble? Why all the greed for more money and power? I am probably in a confused state to define any of the above.

I want to know why I am born, why the changes in my life have made me think if this is worthy to prove as any purpose. Do many think that about the purpose of life? I do not have many challenges in life because when my life is smooth, I tend to keep it like that.

Why look for new challenges and create a mess in the already messed up life?

These days, I just want to be in solitude, left in my thoughts. A perfect situation while I sit by the shore wondering what I am doing. I need a break from many things that are happening in my life and others that I pressure to happen. Either way, I just want it all to stop. I want to calm down, shout out loud, scream to my life that it has to end and give me a reason.

Yesterday was one such evening that I was standing in front of an almost farm and achieved “being calm”. It was nice. The feeling when you do not want to think about your life for those few minutes which lasted to twenty. I was thinking about the clouds, the grass, the farm, so green that life didn’t mean anything to me anymore.

I do not know if it is normal to have tears while I am writing this. I still remain as a clueless human being, wondering what makes out of life. Why the struggle through the end? I remain puzzled at reactions, greed and the power that every claims to wait for, to kill for. We remain immortals even after a million years but the greed is for the years we live through. Why?

The average age of a person comes to 50 these days in my country. Why?

Work for money, live for money and spend some on yourself and others you love. Why?

Perception could be an easy answer to this question but no. That is not the perfect answer. No matter which angle you look into your own life, greed exists. Even in the tinniest matter like not letting another person to take the last item in the store because you are important, your family is important. We carry great pride in telling that you struggled to get the last item in the store after an argument. Why?

Learn from others mistake is not easy because the moment it implies in your life, it gives a whole new angle. Things you always did look different now. I have implied it and now I am in a fix. I am looking for a meaning why we live, why we exist, why there is no other option than to live in the life that is given to you but with a choice to make it better. I want to know what choice I have to make to find the purpose. I sit alone once again in thoughts too deep to make waves. In a mind lost only in thoughts of my actions, others’ life and their mistakes.

That one photo

When you know the life is cruel at least in your mind, you shuffle through your books, only to find the one photo that makes you want to go back in time. If there were a time machine, you would go back at least a trillion times so you can enjoy every second more. Someday, when you are happy, you still shuffle through your books and still find that one photo which was the happiest. We all have that one photo and that one day when we want to go back in time and feel better for the happy times we have had, the friends we shared, the moments we want to relive. You would, have a happy moment again, someday, you will pick that photo up when you have a cruel, sad or even a happy day and feel better about your life so you can create more memories! Cheers!

Not you but the figure

When you live in a country like India, thinking is not a very easy task. Trust when a girl says this. Men like in movies don't stop thinking either, only they ignore. No one here lives for themselves, it’s for others. Questions like "What would the neighbors think?" is a very casual thought. So, when one has to decide, it has to be after considering the family and don't forget "the neighbors", even if there are about 50 houses in the lane you live.  Its part of the culture, only a foreigner would think of it as weird but when you are a "true" Indian, it would be surprising if you didn't think like that. Unfortunately, I am in a condition where i don't want to think about others because the saying goes "when you laugh, the world laughs with you but in sorrow, you are the only person crying". Here, life has to move on, that's the thought. You cannot be stuck at sorrow because again, life is meant to be happy with a little bitte...

Choices

There are many circumstances in life. Some you get to choose and, some choose you. When you have a chance to choose, you make a clear, up down decision but what happens if the decision that you made was not as good as your choices that life had made plans of? I chose something in life... I let it be immaterial, as long as it goes well everything is. The moment there is a friction, things start to tumble down to plain sand. Why? Many times, I presume mankind cannot make a hundred percent decision. I on the other hand consider myself a fifty percent chance. Give or take am always at a fifty percent that things will not work out or rather will. This I learn from some in life who have made me wait, until they are satisfied with the period, until they are safe from their decision. While I wait like a piece of potato that is to be washed and cleaned and ready to be cooked, like it can be any moment now. And after the wait whatever the time period is.. I have started questioning a...
