The Point And Line Of Everything

THE POINT AND LINE OF EVERYTHING

              After pondering over this question for longer than I can remember, it has occurred to me that it could never occur to a person who was built to survive here. We are limited by our very foundations which decide whether we are fit to survive in this society. It has been made very clear to us that we can live here comfortably if and only if we follow the life-map “gifted” to us by our society. It doesn’t matter which country or which continent we live in, it’s always the same thing.

            All of it begins with our parents filling our bags with “who knows why studied them” books and weighing our shoulders with them. Then suddenly one day we are supposed to make a decision on what to do for the next 6-7 years of our academic life and for the rest of our boring life. I think it is a very wise decision to just drop it on the kid that they are to make a choice (maybe the biggest one of their life) after making their decisions for them for 15 years.

            Though I am a sceptic, a story of youth has always captivated me. It goes like this-“When god created living beings he/she allotted each of the species 20 years to live but few of them wanted to live a few years less so that they wouldn’t be bored, so the human added those few extra years into his lifespan.” My point being that we were supposed to live those first few young years, experience them and cherish them, not resent them when we get nostalgic.                    

             It has always been my strong belief that there is much more to life than education till 22, a well-paying job by 30 and marriage before your hair starts turning silvery. I guess “YJHD” has had a very strong influence on me because ‘the way it should work’ has always been a matter of interest when compared to ‘the way it actually works’. Even when life feels comfortable we don’t get the rush of excitement or that slice of life which is shown in the movies.

             The inspiration to live an adventurous and exciting life however small it may be is way better than the hope to live a long and comfortable life. We may or may not leave a legacy when we leave, it doesn’t matter; what matters is the memories we create because when we die our memories are what flash in front of us and it would be better if most of them were happy ones. It lies in our hands  whether to live a boring life or not because regret is the one thing I wouldn’t want to lie with me on my deathbed. I guess cherishing every freaking minute of this life is the best we can do before we make our final exit.

Truly,

ENIGMA.

Discipline and Formulae

  Discipline and Formulae ‘Not all great men were disciplined and not all disciplined men were great’ We have all been taught through the years that Discipline is a must for any person who would want to succeed in life. The issue with discipline is that it when it was being formatted (in simple terms); an individual point of view wasn’t taken into account because the people who framed these approached it in way to make it look like a formula. But life isn’t perfect like science. It is not a straight line graph which we can predict by using an equation; we have our ups and downs. We move forward when we are motivated, we get stuck or fall into the deepest pit when we feel low or depressed. We fall in love, we face tragedies, we lose battles, we get discouraged, we get afraid and try to run away from problems but at the end of the day we fall in bed hoping to fight another day. All this wasn’t taken into account when our ancestors “framed” the concept of discipline. I believe the...

YIN AND YANG

YIN & YANG   This existence of ours has been defined in the form of pairs. Each and every living thing has been paired with something. A man is paired to a woman, happiness with grief, excitement with hope, despair with relief and most importantly love with pain. Some might say that not all men are paired to a woman, very true; but it is also true that not all of us have the courage to confront our emotions and not all of us dare to confess them. Let’s talk about love. Yeah, one of the most boring subjects known to the commonwealth. I’m going to delve deeper than talking about motherly or friendly love. Pain has always been one of the side dishes of love. One cannot love a person without experiencing the slightest amount of pain, may it be rejection, arguments or a falling out. I believe that relationships whichever they might be are well maintained when both the parties have experienced the right amount of pain because we learn from pain; we grow because of pain, not in ...
