What is life? I was thinking about it on my way home. Then it flashed. Walking on a lonely road, with your head raised, looking at the sky and getting lost in the sky is life. Taking a deep breath of cool air is life. Drinking a glass full of water when you are too thirsty is life. Eating delicious food when you are dead hungry is life. Nothing else matters. May be emotions are not life. They just mar the beauty of all these things that are life. They take us away from life. Takes away our capacity to enjoy life. Don't you agree?
I miss the complexity of the book and am tired of the predictability of people. Reading each page of a book takes you to a different realm, and often surprises you with its observations. I agree books are written by people, but why do people remain predictable in life and unpredictable in fiction?
i agree with first few lines.but i don't think emotions are not life.how can one live without emotions like love,happiness......?
ReplyDeleteIts an interesting question to ponder over!
ReplyDeleteThis is one and only fundamental questions which is percieved differently in different situations.
Look at "Bruguvalli" for one of the oldest attempt to know what is life :)
That's why I added 'May be' in the beginning. I know without emotions there is no life, but they should be part of life, not the whole life. If they encircle us fully, then we can not perceive anything else, good or bad.
