Unfolding Life

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde

To live everyday and look at life with new eyes means to die a little everyday. Until and unless we slowly kill our old thoughts, unlearn what we have learned over the years, we are not learning anything new. To live life, to experience it fully, it is essential for us to change, to bring fresh thinking in our lives. Unlearning is as important as learning. Letting go is as important as holding on. Pain to a certain extent accentuates pleasure. Life is full of contradictions, nothing is absolute, not even truth. The only truth is love and kindness and the certainty of every beginnings having an end.

Our quest for love and happiness, for acceptance and security defines our journey called life. Look closely, think deeply, ultimately we are all here just for an unknown given time - not just temporary, but also the duration of our stay is undefined. Our struggles, our small victories, our sometimes marching ahead, sometimes dragging our feet, all weaves a story unique to us. Each one of us has a story to tell, each one of us has an opinion about how life is supposed to be lived, every mind perceives differently, yet we are all same. Our desires, our pains, our happiness and our stories of failures and successes are identical to a certain extent.


Travel, meet people,open your mind, let people peek into your soul, and connect - connect to realize that although we look different, our aspirations may be poles apart, we all are a bundle of contradictions, we all are insecure and fearful, all seeking love and validation to give meaning to our lives. Look beyond differences, look beyond appearances, look beyond pretences and you realize the meaning of life is to connect, to share joys and sorrows and to love.

Love life, love yourself and find joy in your heart. Come alive by living in the moment, to consciously steer away from plans for tomorrow . Past, there is no escape, it is a part of you - a shadow you cannot catch. How you deal with your past, creates your present character.
