Journey of life

I’ve no clue where to start or how to start. But I’ll try anyway. The journey so far has been eventful. Although it has never been an easy one. That’s the beauty of it all. Looking back at things that have happened, it seems like it was destined to happen.

The outcome hasn’t been what was expected. In fact quite far from it I must confess. And yet there is this frisson to it all. We’re human beings. The most complex living beings ever to walk the face of the earth. The more we try to understand the person we love the most, the more bewildered we become. And when we try hard and fail to come to a conclusion, we begin to face problems. Mostly emotional problems. This is because we have a sense of attachment to the ones we love. When we don’t succeed in establishing a tangible name to the sense of attachment the problems become grave. I’ve tried real hard to understand the ones that I love with the whole of my heart but with not much success. There are times when we spend some of the most memorable times of our lives. And as expected, we also go through some of the worst times of our lives, whatever the reason maybe. Sometimes the pain of losing a person is so excruciating that we cry. We shed tears because the pain cannot be taken away by anyone. The absence of a person makes us realize how much we really need their presence in our lives. But life is a bottomless pit until we die. And in this pit in which we are constantly being pulled toward death, we find people who steal our hearts. We find people who love us and are loved. We find people who become our source of strength and a pillar of support. We find people who inspire us. People who mean so much to us. Life is like a Rubik's cube. Most of us barely manage to restore the composite faces of the cube to a single color in time. The people we come across in our lives are like the composite faces of the cube. Rarely of the same kind. The goal is to restore each face to a single color. That never happens in our lives. People go their own ways. The force that unites and binds us is susceptible to weaken. Who’s to be blamed? It’s nobody’s fault. You love a person for what they are. You love a person because you see yourself in that person. That inevitably brings joy and happiness. That brings out the best in us. A lot of people talk about love. Only a few know what love truly is. Love is a journey through time and space. Perhaps the greatest emotion occurs when you love a person and are loved in return. On the contrary the most painful emotion occurs when your love is unrequited. It’s that simple. Sometimes the best thing one can do is just let change take charge of our lives. Sometimes not doing anything is also a solution. In the end, in my quest for the meaning of life, I have failed to distill the meaning of life and love. But that hasn’t really stopped me from searching. It never will.
