Barring how to make the existence
of life balanced and simpler for the universe nothing in this world is worth thinking
or worrying about. Neither achievement nor failure, neither theory nor
practice, neither friends nor enemies, neither strangers nor relatives, neither
good nor bad events, neither food nor sex, neither affluence nor poverty,
nothing is worth it. There is nothing in this world that is unchanging, strong
and permanent which can be attributed to the efforts of a single individual.
Everything around here is malleable, yielding and in a constant flux of
changing to the demands of countless desires from the minds of countless
individuals. Everything is a creation of some creatures’ mind, a game of someone’s
mind; it comes into play and disappears over time. It is worthless to waste
time clinging on to a thought, a wish, an emotion, a relation, an achievement,
what so ever because some body else with a fresh desire erases the previous
one. The purpose of life then is to just live. Live for the present moment,
live with whatever is available and be contended / happy in every circumstance.
This applies to all life forms.
Individual life forms appear from
nothing and return to nothing or there is yet another way to see it; individual
life forms appear from infinity and return to infinity. The shape and size of
life forms have been changing over the ages. Therefore the biggest fear of any
life form on this planet seems to be the fear of disintegration. In every age it
has taken a whole lot of effort to sew or cobble together the practical
workable shape of a specie which is a balanced mix of numerous bacteria, micro-organism
or whatever you can call a basic matter, which can regenerate itself as well as
reproduce itself. To regenerate because every second numerous cells in the body
die and new cells are formed from the food that is digested and to reproduce is
to bring forth another creature with similar features and abilities. Every
individual shape / form takes utmost care of its own preservation and any
chance for it to fall apart and disintegrate is greatly feared. Every injury,
every accident every potential threat is avoided and every other effort is
cultivated which helps to preserve the individuals balance. Thus species
evolved and became selfish to the preservation of its own kind because suddenly
some event would occur in a constantly changing universe which would destroy
the shape of life and then once again would begin the creation of a new world.
Therefore the identity with the a form and its preservation are inborn traits
for creativity and insecurity in every life form. It is another story that the
balance of nature is such that every action has an equal opposite reaction and
therefore all the efforts put into creation of a life form is destined to meet
up with its reaction which possibly is its natural death in time.
The body which is a
benignant binding of various basic matters gives rise to an identity, a sense
of being apart from the universe. The intelligence of the basic matter which created
the current forms of life also provided impetus to the creation of mind as a
platform to coordinate between the body and intelligence for self-preservation
and progeny. Fortunately or unfortunately (since it is debatable whether it was
by design or accident) for humans it refined and evolved to an extent that it became
capable of thinking beyond its present needs and working both the body and
intelligence towards some obscene goals. In no other creature do we observe
such abilities. The human mind thus got carried away in its superiority complex
over other life forms and this lead to the creation of the ego. The ego continues
to plays games of creativity and then celebrates or suffers its consequences
and this goes on as an unending sequence. A successful as well as a
unsuccessful creation gives way to a desire for an improvement, a desire for
something better. In this silly race, the human mind has lost track of concepts
of universal balance and has definitely forgotten that the original purpose of
creation was only preservation until the next destruction. Also it is of no
consequence whether one believes in karmic life after death (rebirth /
reincarnation) or in the materialistic concept of ‘You Only Live Once’ (YOLO). In
a minor sense creation and destruction in either situations are both products
of the mind and goes on cyclically without an end. In a major sense too
creation and destruction are beyond the control of individual efforts and goes
on unending over time. Therefore life is meant to just live.
