Life... is it not weird?


I saw this quote a couple of days back : "Just when we think we have found all the answers (okay, not all, but most of them) to life... life changes the question." I thought about the statement and realized the enormity of truth it conveys. Life is so filled with twists and turns that we are never allowed to settle down. Just when we feel we are done with some issues, new issues arise, new things come up. Maybe this is life's way of counteracting monotonicity.

Just when you do not know some facts, life opens up a plethora of options which you never knew existed! And just when you are trying to try out some new stuff, you realize that some things are just ingrained too deep in you to get away from! And just when you have accepted some things are just the way they are, life shoots more arrows at you (some in a good way, some not too pleasant :P). When you think you are following a straight road, without any split ends, you find yourself at a fork, wondering what to do. And sometimes the decision depends on other people! And if we are used to being in control, this situation makes us feel like we are in a free-fall... no gravity, just falling in vacuum... into an abyss of darkness? or into a well of pervasive bliss? It would be easier if we are in control... however, that is not the case always... some things do depend on others!

Is it not weird that we do not like monotonic, humdrum affairs of life, but we still would like to have a break from the wild jaunt life takes us on? I do not know if it is fine to generalize this feeling though :P. Personally, I feel that way for sure. Sometimes I prefer the straight roads in Texas to the curved, fun-filled ones in California (or at least I think I should)... sometimes I just think it might be better to remain unaware of some stuff, and accept things as they are. One of my friends says I think too much and I should not... lol... I guess I should try to follow his advice! But as we all know, the human mind is like an unbridled horse... it runs freely without inhibitions, without control... imagination is unbounded... emotions are illogical...

Lol... now that I re-read this blog, it seems all too weird, too bizarre, too disconnected? haha... I am too simple a person to think of all this stuff... Is it something I am feeling or is it something I just write? Nevertheless, it gives another perspective to be able to read what you have written... more food for thought? Or is the mind too replete for more food?
