Musings

Before I nod off to sleep let me jot down a few crappy thoughts that come to my mind..Or this would become the third blog I tried to write and let go defunct..

Am right now in a rather philosophical mood and with so much thought intensity that it could boil an egg.I 'll probably snap out of it soon and be a happy little soul again!But here it is for its worth-my two pennies worth.
Some questions have plagued men for centuries and with an answer eluding us even now, here I am asking it again.Why are we born? Why do we exist?
Some say to achieve greatness..If that is the only reason how does it help you if 100 years later they still talk about you..You won't even be there to feel proud about it..If making history is the only motive nobody would live for the present.
It is to help others and save mankind..Has the so much helping going on about improved the human condition one little bit? People still get killed and worse still live in constant suffering with no sign of redemption. Wars still happen, a selected few lose their lives, and millions live in deplorable conditions.
Few religions rubbish all these saying it is fate and that we don't own life to end it. Few others say it is your sins in your previous birth which makes you come into this world and brings you suffering. Whatever!! We accept it because we are helpless anyway..
Now we are digressing. So why are we here? Coming back to that..
Nobody knows. Yet we all seem to have ambitions. To become something someday. That perfect creature we yearn to become. That which never comes.! Why can’t we just exist beautifully (sigh)..Well, if all our ancestors had done that where would we be.. I honestly don't know. I can just imagine a vast peaceful land where everyone is born, live and die someday.
Where do you go if you have no direction, no exceptional talents? Except for a worldly motivation to earn your living what drives us? Nothing seems to..So we go to just another job and earn our living (all the time feeling guilty about millions others who get paid a tenth of it for the same work) and go on with our mundane existence.

Well, I am no different. And I still have a job to go to tomorrow. So I better be off. Adios.

  1. So many times, when I sit down typing something to earn a million buck to the US guy, I think about how mankind had to evolve so much to make me do this crap in this artificially chilled up room? Can't I just have a farm, grow my rice, eat my rice, and sleep?
