'Life is an Illusion and Death is the ultimate Reality.'
Need. Desire. Want.
The prime forces that drive Humans to push against their limits, to tap their own potentials and to realize their dreams and achieve them in pursuit of achieving the various pleasures of life.
Human needs are incessant.
I see millions running in the rat-race. Trying their best to make it first to the finishing line by hook or crook, oblivious of the reason why ‘they’ want to run in the rat-race. There are many living a life in the disavowal mode, plainly enamoured by the materialistic pleasures that this world has to offer. In an age of plagiarism where people merely have an obscure view of their life, leading to an entire disarray of their individual projections and ideas; nothing more than a chaos can prevail.
Amidst this confusion are the various ambitions and aspirations that not only encourage but also instill confidence and provide the capability to look forward to a better tomorrow. It gives us the hope to see the sun rise and shine higher and brighter in future.
But looking at the bigger picture, what is dejecting is the fact that in the long run, the ‘living happily ever after’ ending does not happen after all our whims and fancies are met. Death being the final reality for all where destiny takes over our lives and is the master of all.
Even while writing about it, it just makes me cogitate on what is it that counts? What is it that matters? What is it that we are all running after? All I get as an answer is Nothing.
The bitter truth remaining the same for all.
Life and Death being the two indispensable faces of the same coin. On the one hand, Life motivates us and inspires us to live a life in a way like we would never live again. On the other hand, Death awaiting all of us where the very question and reason for our existence and living gets diminished. There is nothing that can fight destiny. Everything fails against it.
All that I can make out of everything that is rushing through my mind is that someone has rightly said:
‘It is not your life in the years that matters. It is the years of your life that matter.’
Eventually, I am just pondering over what I thought of life. My point of view about it is completely at loggerheads with the ultimate reality. Just wondering what am I and what I am not? What is true and what is not? What is Real and what is not?
My mind is in a state of obfuscation that is leaving me tizzy. I stand alone here, facing an Illusion called Life, when my mind and heart are on a quest to puzzle out the Virtual Reality….
