Define LIFE

What a foolish Questions, my GOD!

What to define Life with? What should the definition hold?

Life is all what you want it to be.

Be what you want to be and not whom you want to be. But the most important thing here is that, it is very difficult to be others, whereas it is easy to be us.

What it is to be us. Have we ever been ourselves?
Might be might be not. Some times, we are we and other times, perhaps, most of the times we try to lead others life, I mean we are acting or imitating. Imitation is the highest form of art. But life is not art to imitate and it is to live. Imitation is only for the arts.

This differentiation is important: the differentiation between acting and living. The former case, you are acting like others, where you can do better as you are.

Do we know what we are?
The most difficult question amongst all in the questions of life is to answer this Question. Think independently, don’t turn into a saint, but try to answer this question to your self. A little bit of philosophy is always necessary.

If you define yourself, others are just pieces that fit together in the puzzle called life. But the others are very difficult pieces to find in us. The other important pieces are about what you want to do, and what you do.

Your life is formed mainly by who you are. What else are the parts of it?
I believe in two things, as answers for these. "What you do?” remember this forms the most important piece of life as I have said earlier. The second most important thing is "What you do, apart from what you are doing?” The second question is the extrapolation of the former and to break the monotony in life of doing one that that we want to in "What we do?" (The first Question) we also have to answer the above second question, only to digress from that harmony and not to break it.

Have we answered the first "What we do?" NO! But, if we have defined it, are we doing that. If we are doing that, are we answering the non-trivial second question?

Life, they say is full of compromises. But, are we to compromise? All can be answered if you define your life, which is a circular riddle, going cycles, and yet we don’t know how to come out. The most important thing required to answer is: The sense of WANTING.

When you say, you want and you are doing that what you want, you are living, else you are either existing or surviving this life. When you define your life, see to that you do that, do what you want. Or else, you shall not live but be a victim of the other two.

Mediocrity and What it is?

Statesmen despise publicists, painters despise art-critics, and physiologists, physicists, or mathematicians have usually similar feelings: here is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.
- G. H. Hardy
This statement, hit bang on my head. It hit my head so hard. I feel this is not enough. This is the explanation of mediocrity in the best form, I have ever read. Are WE? This is the question in my mind...
Exposition, Criticism, appreciation all these are work for the second rate minds. Then what is the work of the first rate minds?
Creation. What else?
Come on men think. Think high. Think bright. Think as though this is the first time you are. Think as though you have thought like this never before. Intake, digest, assimilate it and put it in your sub-conscience mind that " I am a first rate mind "
Don’t let dreams come down. Don’t shatter them. See others dreams, thought they couldn’t be communicated. Dreams don’t come true just alone by dreaming. Follow the Yellow Brick road, and you shall meet the wizard of Oz. who is the Wizard? It’s you, and who else can it be.
Are we to continue this mediocrity, waste life in this earth for such puny things? What is a puny thing? Puny, it may seem, and yet what we are doing here, I mean, in India, We serve others, rather than ourselves and our family and our country. I believe this is mediocrity. Because of this we come to the conclusion that we don’t have time.
Remember the Mayonees jar. Spend time for the most important things in the world. This world is ours for us to make. This world is ours for us to create. This world is ours for us to live. We rule this world. Don’t fret nor fume, this is what is called attitude.
Attitude and thoughts shape the future. Don’t be escapists. Escapist, try to live the situation and to the current needs.
If you think we are a society, we are. If you don’t think so, we are not.
I know you all are busy. I am very busy. But always I remember the Mayonees jar.
Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
Small minds discuss people.
What kind of mind do we possess? Pooh! What a Question is this? We can say; it is the future that matter. But remember, it’s the past that tells who you are.
With broken heart and yet full of determination and ambition, I conclude.
