Beginnings

How often do we reach a dead end? Irrespective of the answer, the reality is that the only dead end can be death and that too for the physical self. Strangely even in that dead end, there is a continuum. The body decays and metamorphosis’s into something else. So, is there an end actually? This is probably the question that gave birth to philosophy and the idea of Nirvana or salvation.

Why does this journey start in the first place? Is it not because we encounter dead ends in life and fear new beginnings? Sometimes ending things gives us closure. New beginnings are too much to go through. But when you choose to end at a dead end and not enter the continuum, you choose to decay. To end and to decay are very different things. Decay is a never ending journey of filth and suffocation.

We know that life has three possibilities now; it will end, continue or decay. Irrespective of which boat you choose to sail in, the journey is inevitable. The real deal is to make the journey worthy and memorable. The journey has to have purpose and sense.

This sense and purpose will unfold before us, only if we stay alert. Alertness is inherent in openness. Openness comes with light and discarding the dark. The light is ignited out of positivity and positivity out of happiness. To find happiness you must choose to stay happy.
And that happiness and finding it is the story of our lives.
