Not This Not That

Have you observed yourself in a mood where you do not want to do this or that or anything else? You do not want to work, you think may be you should chill for a while, but even that is not it. You think you may watch a movie or read a book or just do nothing, but alas! you are in a spot where you are just clueless of what is it that you feel like. Anything you do, even resting can lead to a state of irritation. You flounder with different things, try this or that but none seem to make sense. You wonder what is it that you feel this moment? what could end this anxiety? what is it that you are supposed to do? In that helpless state of predicament there is no option left ! What can you can do about it rather than let it pass.

Death is something which seem to add meaning to our lives. Because if we would not die and remained here for ever then probably there won't be any need for us to work, earn, eat, grow, progress, achieve etc., What for do we work? and if we don't there is no such grave consequence for it. Most of us earn to have a decent meal, shelter, clothing and the basic needs which help us survive in a healthy manner but if we are never going to perish then the significance of these items may not be there at all, you are going to be here eternally and nothing can stop that, so whats the big deal.

Conversely, death should actually, deprive life of any meaning, if any, when looked at from another perspective. One day whatever is born has to pass away, if you looked around, everything you see, every single item will get destroyed through some manner or the other, its just a matter of time- even this screen you read on and the eyes reading it, your fingers which type it and the brain which processes it. Everything will become part of this world in different form ultimately and called by different names and exist. Then if everything has to pass away anyway, what's the actual use of anything we do. Socially, evolutionally many different reasons can be given and purposes can be derived such as giving the future generations a better world, contributing and giving back as an act of gratitude to what has been handed over to us by ancestors. But in an absolute point of view when everything is in such a state of continuous change and uncertainty then it doesn't make any difference what is done and what is not. Its a negligible amount in this colossally big universe. Everything just will pass into nothingness one day, without any meaning. Our endless worries and pleasures will mean nothing at all. There even won't be anyone to recognise it.

Now it is you who has to decide- to either give meaning to life or deprive it of meaning, or Nothing at all...

Time to put this letter to an End(death) !
