A product of contemplation
Ere the birth of my life, if I wished it or no
No question was asked me--it could not be so !
If the life was the question, a thing sent to try
And to live on be YES; what can NO be ? to die.
At 1 am in the morning, I hit upon these 4 lines and suddenly I could just hear myself exclaim – I know!!!!. They say that I lead a life without restrictions and that every decision I make is out of my own free will. But isn’t this the most important choice? I would say that this is the biggest deception that we haven’t been able to see through…. Why wasn’t I asked if I wanted "the red pill or the blue pill"? The significance of making choices is lost when the all important one is just thrust upon you. When I was five years old, I remember my mother holding my hands and looking into my eyes while saying-" stay the same". I wonder if I could retort back saying- how I wish I had known that this was much more than just years getting accrued. There were times when a walk to school in the drizzle was all I needed to invigorate myself. There was a time when the star spangled sky gave me hope….hope that just like those countless stars out there….i will be able to stay and overcome anything that came my way….there were times when the chirping of birds felt like music in my ears and made me hum….wait a minute…didn’t someone say that no one can ever teach you how to be happy?…its something that you learn all by yourself…. Yeah that is what life is all about…a journey in search of the ultimate, inexplicable, infinitely complex and yet seemingly elementary sensation which we call “happiness”.
