Take two
What is your take on life? A deceptively simple question like many others .The simplest being, “Why? “.Centuries have passed with millions of people giving billions of answers but the question remains, as insatiable as always.Still crying for reason.
So anyways what is your take on Life? A significant factor that one should take into account before making one’s mind is that this is fairly contemporary question. I mean given my incompetence in Queen’s English, I am certainly not an authority on the subject .Nevertheless the framing of this sentence is such that one can’t imagine it being asked in the courts of Queen Elizabeth.
I can’t hear you, What did you say? My apparent deafness has reasons. The reasons are twofold, one that most of you were silent and two others who did manage to mumble out something wasn’t loud enough to be heard.
The liberty of Speech has never been as pronounced as it is today. So even though I don’t care to make a conversation on the topic I have the right to express my views and leave the domain.
So What is my take on life?? My take on life is “a mistake”. Intriguing isn’t it?? The sentence is like an abstract painting, open to interpretations. Therefore it becomes a responsibility that I throw some light on my interpretation.
Mistakes by the virtue of their definition are perceived as wrong and path not to take. But then I ask,“Why”. What is the point in doing the “right” things? A lot of people are doing them anyways. “The fun” lies in making a mistake and bearing the aftermath. When the world ridicules you, corners you. When, those who were on your side, vanish in a moment’s time. Then my friend is the opportunity to move forth with life against the tide of society and time and prove them all wrong. The chance of reminding, yourself and everyone around you, of the individual and the individual strength.
I firmly believe that it’s essential for an individual to do something extraordinary to really come alive. Picture a terrain as a metaphor of the collection of opportunities scattered around.Every part of that terrain that you can go to if you follow the road has obviously already been discovered and therefore in order to find a new opportunity you ll have to forget the path somewhere or better, go walk willingly into the Jungles.
Think about it. Espacially you, Yes you. I know that you know that I am speaking to you.[:D]
I will end with a famous quote by Steve Jobbs ,”Stay Young, Stay Foolish”.

"Stay young and stay foolish". Steve Jobs is just amazing. Kipling wrote a poem "If". Write something titled "Why?".
Nice post =).
U have already made a few of the ktj people 'abstract'... now dont try and 'abstract' others.. :) I have heard a few of the chats u guys had abt life and what not from people....
this was a good post... but then stop being abstract... dont give too much thoughts on the why and how and ifs and buts of life..... just live it :) for the reason that not many have been able to figure out the answers... and the few who have, have lived to be mahavira and buddha... (unless u want to be the next one) ;)
love this post best of all!
