WEEKEND MUSINGS
Human beings are mere characters of the greatest play ever - life. We are playing our roles, not realizing whether we are following the predestination or our own free will. We try to go against the decrees of our Creator but ultimately return empty-handed, covering zero displacement. Our life experiences and all the things that influence us are moving us in a certain direction that we are meant to go.
Never do we fail to use every bit of our human agency to introspect and stand vehemently against anything which does not suit our interests. But do we really succeed in interfering with the divine interventions? The answer is obviously - No, because whatever is destined for us is ultimately going to happen. And if, per se, we do succeed in our goals, is that because we wanted that to happen or was that change already decreed for us! And yet experience shows reality is already predicated upon a design more elegant than anything we can specify through our temporal desires.
We keep trying and trying and ultimately succumbing to what is there in store for us. The power which is given to us is to be utilized in the best possible manner. We get caught up in moments which seem to be of the top most priority at some point in life. Nevertheless, as life advances, the picture becomes less blurred, kind of clearer than before. We start realizing that our priorities keep changing with time and the attachments get fainter and fainter. The cycle goes on, since as humans, we possess the natural tendency of absorbing everything - good or bad, like a sponge without any filtering mechanism whatsoever.
Such are the ironies of life which drive us insane, which make us a part of this never- ending rat race and in a way, robbing us off of all the peace and contentment. This is but natural for humans to get involved with the materialistic nature of this world. After all, humans are humans!
Bottom line: Thanks to weekends which give me the space to ponder the realities of life - which we knowingly or unknowingly tend to ignore. I don't understand myself, therefore I am working on it, exploring ways and means with which I can give myself a thought so as to make the best out of it.
Life is crazy - agreed. But all I'm trying is to sustain myself in this race of promises and accomplishments; illusions and realities; hopes and challenges.
Hope I succeed in accomplishing my tasks!
