A New Beginning for a Better End

Staring at the keyboard for what seemed like a long time, I was wondering to myself about what to write for my new article which was based on the New Year.

After reasoning with myself, I concluded that I had to penetrate under the skin of the concept and must feel it ardently to be able to express myself. But would I go through all that just so I could come up with something interesting and worth reading? My mind argued. Was it only about being able to express myself just so I could create a well articulated essay?

Take a Chill Pill

‘Life is so hard!’ An expression heard too often. The question is ‘How can we make life easier, simpler yet fruitful and beneficial?’

We’re so busy chasing after our “dreams” that we forget that “dreams” are not reality! They are after all just delusions. And, when one dream is realized, another is yearning to be fulfilled, until finally our time on this earth is up.

People exhaust themselves in order to lead a ‘chilled’ life, running after mundane pleasures, but in most cases they never really get to enjoy what they gather from this world….can one call this, success?

My Reason For Living

“What is your reason for living or the purpose of your life?” When you ask most people this fundamental and important question, they will not tell you what they have concluded through observation or analytical reasoning. Rather, in most cases, they will simply tell you what someone else has said, or they will tell you what is commonly assumed by other people.

If I ask anyone why they work, they will probably say because it’s a necessity, in order to support themselves, or to provide for the needs of their families. If I ask anyone why they sleep, why they wash or why they dress, they will answer with appropriate answers.

Then why, when we ask the question “what is the purpose of life?” do we get so manydifferent answers? Is it because we are confused, or we really don’t know? Are just stumbling in the dark but rather than say “I don’t know” we just offer any answer we have been programmed to give?
