The Big Picture

What is it about life that mystifies us so much? I’m not very sure very many of us have the answer to that, and a conversation with a friend also sparked me off on a trip to Mount Thought, accompanied by my faithful companion, inspiration, who is more or less my ghostwriter at times. Apparently, life in the present age is something of a big tornado; we are each the centre of our own tornadoes. We are just too consumed with all the illusory chaos that we refer to as Life. But is that what Life really is? Does Life really mean waking up at 7 A.M.; going to work; sitting in an office for eight hours; and coming back home only to rest ourselves on the couch in front of the television (and watching soap operas that never do us any good, anyway); going to bed and sticking to the same daily grind each day?

We have just too much on our minds already to even consider any alternate possible purposes our lives might have other than just being lawyers, doctors, or corporate professionals. Where is it that we came from, and just where are we headed? Will Time ever move at its usual pace rather than try to compete with its rivals for the God-knows-what Olympics? There is just too much to say here, but human beings can only communicate in so many languages and each language has only so many words; there is so much to think about, but only so much time as a lifetime to think during (and considering how BUSY we all are, we are definitely going to think about a lot of these questions! :p). But yes, there are some of us who might just dedicate our lives to solving these puzzles which most certainly need some serious solving.

I believe that each of us human beings has so many different perspectives and over time, we only grow and so do our perspectives and thoughts. To construct imagery, I think it is as if we are born with this really thick blindfold and as we age- both chronologically as well as mentally, we just begin to lose those layers that are wrapped around our mind’s eyes. Somehow, I’m just wondering whether I will ever be able to untangle these colourful threads that are tangled into each other with such intricate detail that only leaves me agape at the loveliness of it all.
