Life: A False Dichotomy

Date: 20th Dec 2008
Place: Abu Dhabi

Dear Life,

I am writing to you to acknowledge the fact that you
create many questions. It is up to us, whether or not we wish to answer them. It is interesting to note that these questions form the basis to divisions and inequality within oneself. When we tend to understand the reason behind the need and the necessity for an action, we normally ignore the rules of judgment which we use to judge others. It is important to see how susceptible we are to this logical fallacy, and help ourselves in such a scenario.

It might interest you to know the reason I wanted to acknowledge your role with the questions. Even this question will remain unanswered as many others which remain the same since a long time. But, it is equally necessary to appreciate the effort which I put into attempting an answer. If at all, we could answer all the questions we face, it will be a pleasant world sans complexity...but then, what fun it is to live in simplicity, and feel the lack of complexity?

Lastly, I wish to express my sincere feeling of gratitude for the role you have played in shaping my understanding of self, and the opportunities you have given me to explore this world, and contribute my bit to its complexity.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,
Abhijith Jayanthi

Hi jith,
I would like respond to this note. You feel that the life throws questions to you and enable you to contribute your bit to the complexity of the world. But for me the life solves many puzzles that pop up as the time goes by. I feel by realising myself, I am trying to solve the complexities rather than adding because I began to understand the world critically, objectively and the world as it is.
A good piece brother.

Hi Akka, what you said is very true and I see no conflict of opinion. What I meant when I said life throws questions at you, is that it challenges you and then it is up to you if you want to take it up and solve the puzzle or just ignore it. Its us who make the effort to unfold the mystery, solve the complexity..just as you said.
