THE PHILOSOPHY

Throughout my life, I have always pondered over this thought that what actually is the purpose of my life on this planet. Why are we here? How will our actions change this universe, and why, if at all any, do we need that change? Whats the purpose?

This question isn't new. Many philosophers have pondered over it and in vain. Hence, even though it bugs me, I eventually have to forget about it and move ahead. But before that, I would like to make a record of what I think.

There is another question that arises along side this. 'What the hell are we doing?' What i mean to say is,many of us are engaged in our daily routine of life, monotonous, boring, the same things over and over again, caught in the stupid "handcuffs" of the city life. I myself being one such guy. I am studying B.Tech at NIT Bhopal. I follow a routine, everyday, get up at 7 A.M, start the morning routine, go to college, attend classes till afternoon, then come back, either I play,chat, or do some stuff which I myself am unsure of, or else study during minors. So basically, we "stay" here for a given period of time, then study for the tests which are held periodically, and pass with some pointer, may it be unfair. After completing a semester, its not over, there is another sem thats exactly like the previous one. Why are we doing this? for what noble purpose?

Lets consider ourselves as "nature's animals" which we all are. We just tend to live on, thats the basic idea we started off with (like, wen there were cavemen, and apes n all). So the primates used to eat, and live. so it becomes "eat to live". Thats it. But now we humans have found out many ways to make out life more complicated, no doubt there are reasons behind these transitions. but the point is, after doing all this (after inventing the spacecraft, or atomic bomb, or whatever), whats the point?

I seriously don't care what happens. I want change. I have lived my entire life in a metro, the same stuff, malls, trains, bikes, pubs, gadgets and gizmos, cars, etc. For me paradise is somewhere on a hill top, a small hut, a well, and a heard of sheep. greenery everywhere, awesome cool weather. All we need to survive is Food.

Man is curious. He needs to know everything, and thats the basic reason we all are doing what we are doing. Man wants to explore space to its every corner, know every principle of nature, see everything, decode the entire universe. A vast sight in itself. Its curiosity that drives us, that takes us away from what we actually need to do. But whats the point? There is honor in what we do. We care about other people respecting us for what we do, and that matters to us. Its because of this sole reason that we have come this far, technologies advanced. Its also passion. Passion to do different things, great things. We want things to be different. So its change that has 'changed' the world. But still one question remains unanswered, how did this world come into existence in the first place? ... well lets just stop thinking. We are a bunch of idiots. Why bother? jus chill! relax bindaas! hehe...

So basically, I don't know what i intended to write in this piece of junk but, well its up to you people to make out. I may have contradicted myself somewhere. I was a bit frustrated when I wrote this, that you can make out...hehe...Its just that I got bored and wrote something. Well await for more... adieu...
