Sometimes life puts us in such a deep trance that we lose track of what is life and what is not. The life that we all lead, me, you and all of us maybe seems to be a fitting example of it. Why are we alive, why are we existent. I am sure that I wasn’t sent on this earth to create ads or an aspiring movie maker wasn’t sent to make movies. How important are the things we do? The answer is not at all, if you think of it. We were sent with the best people on the planet, mom and dad , most of us found love in some form or the other but we keep running and running to find the “so called best things “ which even we don’t know about. We keep running madly in this rat race. Trying to win, to achieve, to strive but for what?? You have the best things, your body, your soul, your life, your parents and your loved ones than why is it that we can’t stop running?? Why is it that we choose to be a rat when we were sent as humans? Is this what we are all alive to do? Is this our purpose of existence, this is a question no one has been able to find the correct answer to. Some may proclaim that they have the answer and that their work is their existence but think about it? Is it really so? Are we doing the right thing by being the mad-men and women we are or should our priorities in life be different and the approach is to experience as many things as we can?
Sometimes I feel I cut through these shackles and just let go free , roam ,wander and experience but again my rationality gets hold of me and says so how is that going to help you ?what about those people you said matter and are an integral part of your life ? Where did they go now? And once again I am left speechless, with no answer, brain trying to understand the ulterior purpose. Rationality trying to shift my focus to my and your presumption of reality, “the brain proclaimed reality”. I suppose that the reason to this rat race, this running blindly after other blind man business is because we haven’t seen the light.
Once our lives see the light of knowledge, of the answer to these complex problems, all our miseries shall drown and life would not be what it is. Maybe it would just shift back a hundred years because maybe life was supposed to be like that. I want you to think, to understand, to consciously think about what we are doing. I know there is nothing I am going to do about it and there is not much I can do but Yeah, maybe this article hopes to find its way into a new path in your life. A path where you pick what your priorities are and for once not listen to the rationality but are true to your heart and soul and your purpose of existence.
It’s about that moment when you decide that a person or that moment is more precious than the fickle deceiving lives we lead. When you choose your loved ones, the things that matter to you over the one’s you shouldn’t. If that happens than unlike the question I posed. The purpose of writing this article is achieved and it shall find its happy ending right there.
A fellow human being killed by rationality.
Rationality ruins us.
