A rant: The Pandora box of paradoxes
Disclaimer: If you end up reading the whole blog, you will probably have to leave your brain to un-pretzel itself for a couple hours. (mine took way longer anyway)
The past few weeks have been eventful, to say the least and my blog took a backseat. Should I prioritize living life or documenting it?
This one question opened the Pandora box of paradoxes of life I've thought about and conveniently noted down in my notes app. Time to indulge?
The way we see time is relative. Sometimes time feels like it's dragging on and on and you're suck in a timeless loop and then there are times when weeks pass by at the blink of an eye. If that's the case, is life a long journey or is it short? Or is it something we handily change and alternate? I find my solace in that one quote from the movie "Dil Chata Hai" which I'd earlier quoted in my other blog as well.
I also do not negate the circumstances, privilege's of an individual, but in a larger sense, I guess what I'm wondering is, don't these questions haunt you too?
What I'm trying to understand is that if we consider the nihilistic approach- Nihilism is a philosophy, or family of views within philosophy, that rejects generally accepted or fundamental aspects of human existence, such as objective truth, knowledge, morality, values, or meaning. (stolen from Wikipedia, of course) what fuels a person's motivation to wake up, get on with the day if he is still roaming purposeless at the end of the day?
While I try to wrap my head around these questions that my brain keeps pondering over, I journal, read or watch movies to make sense of the chaos in my head and if it's a pleasant day(non-sunny)- I look up at the sky, mentally thank the heavens, and I'm feeling it, go to the nearby park and try to feel what it's like to be a human- to have the most paradoxical questions take up your mind space but also gaze at the green leaves on the trees, the yellow and brown dry ones that have freshly fallen to the ground and make peace with the fact that life is maybe like a half-done puzzle where you've found a few pieces that fit together and you are on your way to make sense of the other pieces. At the end of it, they will fit where they are supposed to, when they're supposed to and maybe, just maybe you hope that it makes sense and if not, there's always a beautiful view of the complete puzzle to look at (life's best memories)
