The world has become smaller, the minds narrower and the base broader. Now why am I making this comment? No particular reason. The world is devoid of any reasons. We do things which we think are meaningful. This thought in itself is so meaningless. How can things be meaningful when we don’t even have any idea of our source of existence, why we are here on this earth, why we need oxygen to breathe and not any other gases so that life even though meaningless would thrive on other planets.

“To be or not to be”. What was Shakespeare thinking? Till the time we are not conscious of our consciousness, everything looks quite perfect, at least on the surface. With time this gnawing thought like a worm just born inside our heart and mind begins to manifest in different forms. Ambition, Greed, Desire, Knowledge, Anxiety, Depression, Agony, Apprehension, Dream, Will. The List is long. We are gripped. And there is no escape except wait for Death to arrive and conclude the futility of life.

Freedom is a myth. Even though you free yourself as a slave or from time, how do you free yourself from the mundane desires of life? How do you get liberated from concerns with Good Health or Happiness . Or from hunger.? Or the will to carry on living. ? How do you reject , wealth power, or fame? How do you free yourself from all possession? How do you free yourself from the worthless customs and conventions of the society?

With consciousness arrives a question. Is life worth living OR not? Most of us look for a reason to live. Rather it would be appropriate to state that we choose a reason to live. Whether to live or to end life is a fundamental point. The rest – Education, Knowledge, Ethics, Money, Power, Fame, Love, War, whether we will fly or the mind is capable enough to tele-transport comes afterwards. The herd decides to continue with life and multiply. Some of us reason that in any case life would end after a certain number of years, so why take it upon ourselves to take this step of ending life. The rest of the life then becomes a game.
But there is a problem and this needs to be confronted. I have my doubts about any one attempting to end one’s life just because he suddenly or gradually realized that it is meaningless to carry on living and not worth the pain. Most of us who end life abruptly do so to send out a message as if to teach a lesson to the living, as if to punish the living. Little do they realize with the living, that with time the act weakens if not erased. Personal sorrow, incurable illness, attracting attention, extreme anger drives people to end life and not whether life is worth living or not. We don’t contemplate and take this decision - “To be or not to be”. To the living, ending life translates to failure and the inability to cope up with life.

Every person must discover the truth by which he would live and eventually die. The problem is that the human mind is so complex that he is interested in infinite things and thus loses the focus to concentrate on that single thing. The mind is never clear and so he never realizes what he ought to do. The focus may be to understand himself and find out what he really wishes to do
There are different levels in which an individual lives out his life. A person might live for the moment. He lives a life satisfying his emotional, physical or intellectual lifestyle. He is only concerned about his own happiness. He lives a life depending on who he knows, what he does, the roles he plays, what he possess, where he lives etc. He searches for enjoyment. He is an observer and a spectator. He does not participate. He goes into different directions and awaits for fate to bring him something better.
A different level is when the person recognizes that he has to make a choice. He has to accept a sense of duty. He discards his desires and wild impulses, listening to his conscience, taking responsibilities and obligations, He believes in justice, freedom, peace and love. Life is also lived on the religious level where everything is governed by a mysterious supernatural hand and where no logical questions are asked submitting an unbounded and absolute resignation, engulfed in suffering and guilt. He does that daily, perhaps many times a day.
To discover the truth, to focus, to live a certain level of life, a person must make a choice. He has to make a decision. After all he cannot sleep like a drunkard on a wagon driven by horses and leave it to the horse to decide. Or is it that he may decide to get drunk, decide to choose a wagon driven by horses, decide to sleep on the wagon and decide to leave it to the horses? This is where a terrible fight may by fought. The choice or decision may not be the ultimate one.

Tremendous pressure has been put on the human race. To love or to hate. Hate to love or love to hate? Because of this two, a lot of blood has been split on this earth since time recorded. Going by the way the world revolves, little hope lies in not witnessing future bloodshed.

The Only way to fulfill desire is to consume. Desire produces production. Production produces the desire to consume. The more the desire – the more the consumption. Desire also produces more desire which puts pressure on production

Can there be sex without love? Or can there be love without sex? Or maybe sex alleviates tension and love causes it? Or is sex a meaningless lovemaking?
