Well..its been a long tym....thought i shud jus pen down some thoughts that ran across my mind a few days back.....well I was jus running through one of thos boredom streaks and i decided to take a stroll....through the busy roads....I jus luk around me and find people and more people....all indulged in some work or the other...walking...talking.....driving....cycling....selling stuff...buying stuff...and doing all the routine stuff...And the thought crosses my mind as i luk into every beings face...each so similar yet so distinct....well wat do we all
want....what are we ought to do....and all that we gain or lose..or watever we want to call it....wat r are we gonna do with it....finally we all have to face the inevitable...."Death"...as it is called. Well..alternatively...if we dont die....the world would be so crowded that no-one would survive....it would be utter chaos....well...wats most fascinating is...wat happens after death?....well no-one could possibly answer this question confidently...but off course....we could make assumptions... To what extent does it make sense to talk about life after death....well....nobody likes the idea that we r gonna die....just in case u get really, truly at ease with ur life at any point of tym...u suddenly realize that its all gonna end....and possibly quite horribly..... With science fast and booming....well..most of us hav become zealous advocates of materialism....and its not until death finally confronts us that we realize...that all of it was worthless.... all of us are blindly in the quest of admiration and respect in watever form possible.... Well....i feel basically feelings...love...affection.....these minute things....as we may call it in the materialistic sense....are the most important things that makes life worthwhile....indeed death will engulf u one fine day....but watever it is...howsoever short our life span wil be... Love gives meaning to our lives....as do friendship...or faith in God...these are factors of true happiness...inner peace....or feelings of harmony....allowing meaning to our existense....
The gr8 Plato once said:
"Dying is one of two things. Either it is like having no awareness at all, or, as people say, it’s some kind of transfer of address for the soul from where we are into some other place. And if it is no awareness at all, if it is like a sleep slept out without any dreams, then death is wonderful"
