I was trying to find a meaning to the word "life" and the best I could find was "A journey in confusion".
To me life is just a confusion. I wonder if I could ever find my answer to questions as :-
1.) Why am I here ?
2.) Should I be working towards my selfish motive ?
3.) Or Shall I be working for the benefit of humanity and the poor kid at the square ?
4.) Shall I be in a relationship ? Or am I better off alone ?
5.) Shall I study this subject or that ?
6.) Shall I behave this way or that ?
7.) Is the way I am living - right ?
8.) Is the way they live - wrong ?
9.) What is the purpose of life ?
10.) Shall I follow them ?
11.) Shall I be worried about my family and devote my life to them ?
.
.
.
Endless is the list.
I wonder if you are also one among the crowd who would quickly give me an answer for my confusions.
But because I am confused, I've not been able to find a single person who is not.
Everyone according to me is confused about something or the other.
Of course, there are those focused folks that appear to be unconfused.
But the moment you take a closer look at them, you'll either just find that they are just slightly less confused than you and that's why appear unconfused Or they have just stopped thinking.
To me it seems life has two ways to be lived - Live with your confusion or STOP thinking.
If you are thinking and thinking intelligently, I don't know how you can't be confused.
If you think in the real sense - you are bound to get confused.
And as we think almost 24X7 - we live in confusion.
I wonder if i've just added to your confusion but I guess I made my point about the actual definition of "Life".
Eternally Ecstatically Confused
