Life is a question nobody can answer

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
If life is the question then our deeds (read karma) is the answer. What ever you do is the answer to each question which come up to you every moment. If you want to pass those questions with A+ grade then you need to answer them in a good manner. Life is a question and you are its answer. Whole life you keep on living. At the end, at death you realise you are the answer. There is no ultimate truth out there, it is in you. Life in itself has no meaning, you create meaning out of your life for, for yourself, and in the process, for others as well.
You are the answer to it, you need to explore as I am still exploring till now. Nobody exactly knows why there is life on Earth or elsewhere in the universe, but that does not mean that life is a question. Death isn’t a question either. They just happen. Life and death have been there for billions of years before us and will be there long after us. They are and remain a mystery for us, no doubt, but I wouldn’t call them a question. I would rather say life is an answer. We were born to this world, to certain parents and certain circumstances we couldn’t choose. We couldn’t even refuse to be born. The only thing that was left to us was to react, to answer to those circumstances.
We are thrown to this world and we need to respond to the life that was given to us and to the circumstances we are surrounded by. Thus we are also responsible of our own response. This answer is based on Existentialism and such philosophers as Martin Heidegger, Soren Kierkegaard etc. (See more: Existentialism - Wikipedia.) I think it’s a very interesting and inspiring way of seeing our life. When you achieve something after days’ hard work, you know this is worth it, life is worth it, this is what you are here for (one of those things).
Well, life is more of a puzzle and the people involved are like the pieces of the puzzle. While some of the pieces are big, some are small but it is only when all the pieces are there that this puzzle is complete. We must make sure that this puzzle of ours is not big because the bigger the puzzle, the more the number of pieces and the more the number of pieces, the more is the chance of losing it...Life is what you are. If you are depressed life is depressive. If you are happy life is happiness. Whatever you are is what is life.
So, my answer to life itself is it can be a blessing or a curse, is up to you and how you look at things. Don't take yourself too seriously as if you are here to answer some question. Rather, think about the things you wanna do and love and try to do them one by one. If one of them is helping other people then help people, if its learning how to sing then do that, if its learning maths then do that. Life isn't about helping people or doing great things. Its about doing what makes us happy. Cheers!

3 年Death means transmutation of physical body, we call ignorance, to be dissolved in to source which we behold and is therefore a real answer. Om Shanti Om??
