Life - Stranger Than Fiction

Hello Friends,
Am posting after a long break....
Well was confused as always about what to write about as sometimes there is so much and sometimes nothing at all....
This time I thought of just doing it....

So, today I was watching a movie named 'Stranger than Fiction'. It was a wonderful movie and was actually quite thought provoking.

How many of us are not satisfied with our present lives and live to do what we wanna do SOME DAY. Well we wait for it and fantasize about it all day long and through years. Our mind recreates what we wish was and would be... We are elated and there is a quite calm about the world... It suddenly seems like 'Perfect'. But nothing is perfect and this imperfections presents itself in its most ironical fashion when we come back to our real selves. No matter how elating or satiating the thought was, we realise that it was quintessentially a thought and nothing more and we live on to realise it...

This living on to realise something, some day is called HOPE...

'Hope' - The ultimate paradox. It is which makes life worth living. The feeling of impending fortunes. The feeling that we will be 'Someone' of substance or power and that the world would finally recognize us. Recognize us for what we have always been or for what we have become. But it is the same hope that is the ultimate emblem of our current discontent. The feeling of better is also a signage of our present deprivation. Deprivation not only in monetary terms but rather holistically.

Some live on to realise what they hoped for and some... Well let's just say don't actually live on...
So, what if today you learn that you are not going to live on to see the next sunrise. What would a person who all his life has dreamt of achieving something, of being something someday going to do? For all his life he has thought of that day and dreamt of that moment and now he knows that the moment he has been waiting for is not going to come. He has done all he could to ensure a secure and wonderful future but unfortunately for him there would be NO future. What now?

Well ponder on the thought for some time...

For me it would be satisfaction enough that I lived to see TODAY. I would be a bit heart broken as I could not do so much that I feel I should have and could have done...

Rather contradictory thoughts but that is what life is - a mix of paradoxes and contradictions. For some the mix might just be right and others are just not destined to be that fortunate...

With those rather unsystematic and random thoughts (as always), I sign off...

Till the next time...
