Feelings:
How are they generated? Are they any different from our shadows? We are sure we create them but we can't own them, may it be within ourselves or in others.
Everybody feels lonely at certain times. Some feel lonely at all times. Perhaps the loneliness is a result of expecting others to understand us better?
Everybody has passion towards something. Someone's passion is someone else's apathy. A person passionate about something feels disregarded by the one he expects to be equally passionate about, and discerns left alone?
Perhaps biggest enemy of a person is tacit rendering of self pity. Or is it the inability to perceive others' unhappiness bigger than ours?
We create our own goals and squander our time in wandering. Which is bigger here, the selflessness or selfishness? The goals may be set for ourselves but can also take care of a larger cause. May, not doing anything about it and feeling helpless to do so, instill ineptness in us?
There are many life troubling questions. Some face them, others avert them. Some may feel there is no bigger question in life than why question life in first place? And may people facing them feel there's no bigger answer to life than their very life being the way it is ?

Every question may have more than one answer and so does every answer have more than one question?
We hear, we see, we experience. It's all the same or it may be different; but life goes on. We then pass on the legacy and will the inheritance be questioned as what did we ever own to pass on to our clan or people in common?
And the quest perpetuates....... for generations to come.

Yes, its ironical enough that we are a social beings and yet this life is all about solitude all along…..
ReplyDeleteHowever, the reason and context of loneliness if more bothersome than the loneliness itself which also means the context will soon change and we feel lonely due to something else.
You feel so lonely in the hustle and bustle , you barely hear anything when it's so noisy. Is it peace or is it your own noise inside you? The latter seems more true.
Self-created and designed loneliness is often polished and termed as solitude. On the other hand,temporary phase of loneliness is often judged others and ourselves too.
But all these are “just feelings” as you termed before . So isn't it your mind who’s the sole architect of these structures?
Apart from expecting others to understand us and our loneliness, there could yet another quest of life: “Are we with ourselves in the first place?” . In the challenging journey of life we often easily let go of ourselves and blame it all on loneliness. Poor loneliness should be left alone and we should be with and for ourselves.
And “passion”, “the feelings” and the very “loneliness” are like babies born by one parent i.e., " Mind" which delivers them all. Expecting someone else to understand them is nothing but sharing the ownership. I feel one can create, own and disown the thoughts & feelings in oneself and in others. Since it’s all in your mind.
Yes, in spite of all wanders, nomadic milestones and squanders life remains to be interesting enough because it continues to yield questions and answers that are in turn multiplied questions. And the legacy of Q & A continues…..
The very thought of selfishness in certain goals and achievement is selfless enough and a person thoughtful this way will find his/her way to the cause or to a firm goal.
This post brings to my mind a few important mantras of the 'art of living well':
ReplyDelete1. Expectations are your tickets to disappointment
2. Just OBSERVE the happenings within and around you and be in the awareness of the impermanence of everything. Your sad today, happy tomorrow and sad again....
3. This life is more like your personal journey. You are walking along this path that sees the seasons along its course. Along the path, you meet people. THey all accompany you for a (long or short) course of this path and part ways again. We continue on our path to complete the journey. So all along, we are alone on 'our' path of journey.... And despite this truth, we tend to seek company...not realising the impermanence of such companionship!
Very introspective and deep thinking process only can result in such poetic orgasms.
