Revisited

I read one of my articles today. It was published back in March. More than 8 months back. I wrote about being along at the beginning of the lockdown. I was wondering as what makes people feel alone or have fear. People even consider them worthless especially when they see someone ahead of them. Actually there is nothing to compare, at the end of the day everyone is a tiny dot on this planet including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. We may remember them now but after a couple of decades they too will be found over a book only just like Henry Ford.

Now comes the existential question as to why one is alive. Everyone has a purpose. If one doesn’t have you create one. The tipping question is how to create one. When you have a purpose the life become easier to live. Because that’s where you are focused most of the time. Back to the question on how to choose one? It depends on one interest, lifestyle, choice and more. One’s choice might be in public welfare or in innovating new stuff or in anything else. There are numerous more domains.

You might want to do nothing too. But being idle won’t help. The mind can’t stay in idle state. It will roam around the world of thoughts. Mind needs something to be in engaged. It can be a TV series or a game or reading. How cleverly one can move to the right choice is interesting to watch. People takes time to reach to the right may be years or decades. Let’s see how long we take.
