We are on a path there is no end to it

First of all to answer this question, one has to understand life, the term life is used in broad sense now a days and we do not know what exactly it is, before speaking of end, you have to understand it's beginning, so ones you understand life you will have your answers. Generally Life came into picture after long time of that of Universe. Existence itself isn't understood, so it takes a large time to understand life, It took billions of years to create life, it needs lot of effort to understand it too, the best thing one could do is to witness and experience life.

Life is hyper-tenacious, much more than most of us can imagine. Each is programmed via DNA to survive, thrive and reproduce. That is due to the learning and adapting process within the program of life forms mixed with the diversity in the reproduction process. So we see that the reproduced life is always a version of but always imperfect version of the original. Plus outside causes of pain and potential death are fought against (often very violently) by the life forms. Each individual life form has a a level of consciousness and will (deciding for itself). So, once life forms move far apart and become more varied, the foundational (stability and resiliency) of that species increases immensely.

There are an estimated 8.7 million species today having an estimated 37 trillion total living cells. Our own personal lives end. We die. We all die. There is no hereafter, heaven, hell, life after death, nothing. When we are dead, we’re dead. Game over. No resets, no restarts. Dead. If people would realize this is it, this all we get, then they might be a little less willing to give up their lives for nonsense. They might be more willing to spend their time doing positive activities. They could put time in on good pursuits if they realize this is all there is.

Realizing this might make people think before they destroy themselves or others. This is it. This is all of it. Now, not later. Do the best you can. That is a very deep philosophical question immersed with ethical and moral nuances. Not knowing but have a delicacy for articulating for fear of prevaricating and perhaps deviating from the paths of rectitude that have previously been established, I will attempt to extrapolate and postulate and not exaggerate.

According to the law of conservation of matter and the law of conservation of energy, matter or energy cannot be destroyed or created; it only transforms from one form to another. So, what does that say about death: Does anything ever really die? And if not, why is death such a terrible thing? If, even after body and soul have separated, life — the energy of life — continues on, albeit in another form (like boiling water converting into gas), why do we grieve and mourn the loss? Is it only due to the pain of the survivors, the finality of loss and disconnect with a loved one they experience, or is there something about death itself that is an aberration?

On the one hand, a “problem” is an invitation to play and grow. When you go to the gym, you give your muscles “problems”, they actually break down trying to “solve” them, and then they grow back bigger and stronger. On the other hand, if you’re not coming closer to your desired goal, then at some point the sensible thing to do would be to just stop. Stop doing what we’re doing, stop running on autopilot, stop assuming there is only one way to live this life, and start asking what’s going on, why so many crises in so many areas of life, why aren’t we getting stronger and smarter, where did we go wrong, etc. Ask me about the solution!

When I was in class 10, I struggled with history. I knew once I would be taking up science for HS, I would have no problems. And then those tricky calculus, unpredictable organic mechanisms and Rotational motion posed new problems yet again. However I knew that once I would get admitted to a good college, the problems will cease. Then came my first year, though academic pressure lessened there came another problem- ragging. I kept consoling myself, once the first year passes, I would become completely problem-free. Then came second year and now I am struggling to think of which skills to learn and what trainings to attend on top of maintaining the academic pace and efforts to earn a bit of pocket-money.

I can imagine problems will continue to exist further in the form of internship, job and then marriage and family perhaps. At old age there would be health problems and so on. So the pressure to time graph is not Topsy-Turvy, rather a constant plot. At every stage of our life we would be surrounded by never-ending problems. The reason behind this is our expectations of more and more. Our ambitions never seem to reach some satisfactory saturation level.

Solution: Lord Krishna himself gives the solution in The Bhagavad Gita where he says that expectations can be countered solely by ‘Nishkaam karma' (work without expectation) and those who are unmoved by both success and failure by accepting them equally, are ideal human beings. Nowadays, I don't even take these as problems but just mere hurdles we need to jump to continue running the marathon of life- the unending journey in an infinite loop. Cheers!
