I guess no one likes being truly alone.
Maybe the idea of being
alone- having no restraints, free willed, and light. But the more I think of
it, I realize that not most people would want to be alone in an infinitely
stretching universe, where it is devoid of any sort of life- or any that we
know of.
Stars are born, planets are created, and novas are created. But the
stars die at one point, the planets fade, and the novas explode. Are we
temporary? The most likely answer is, yes, we are here for a short period of
time. And in that brief period, which we call it with distaste or happiness is
our life. The question: Are we alone? It has been boggling the minds of
everyone, from scientists and civilians.
But we don’t know.
At least for now.
This leads me to believe that perhaps this is why we humans create
something called Gods. Maybe they’re real or maybe they’re not. Maybe we were
created for a purpose or we were just another cosmic accident like all those
planets and stars out there in the vast universe. And this might be because we
want someone or something above us, to make us feel somewhat comforted by the
fact that even when we might be alone, that there might be just someone who was
with you. Perhaps, the human brain- a great phenomenon that couldn’t be solved
till now, isn’t able to begin to comprehend the vastness or the
emptiness out there.
Though some people may want to be alone, may want to be on the top of
the world and have no one to depend upon, those independent humans out there
are still humans at the end of the day. They have the same feelings as we do,
see the world like us but in a different view.
And this is my other revelation for now:
We are strangely alike as we are different.
It really is confusing and strange. Many of us are contradictions but
this seems to be one upon itself. How can we look the same yet have different
traits? How is it possible that every one of us feels the exact same emotions
but in different ways?
We have that root of a particular thing (Take emotions for an
example). Sadness, anger, happiness and a whole other array of emotions we feel
every single day. Each person, somehow, feels the root of the emotion but also
the branches and threads of complexities of it, and amazingly, also the way
they react to it is similar yet unique.
The way they react and feel greatly depends on what they have been
through or going through, their different behavioural patterns, and also what
their outlook on everything including life in general is. It shapes them,
moulds them into what they are today and what they feel.
Saying that, I’m going to share another matter I have rather thought
about for quite a long time. I came across it in a post somewhere which
prompted me into thinking. I have pondered upon it but of course, I got no
definite answers but only more questions.
Imagine if you had everything we wanted. How you look like changed
into what your image of beauty is in your head. Whatever you wanted, whatever
you think will bring you satisfaction and happiness, and you had it. Money, the
‘perfect’ body, fame and recognition, the prefect family, the list could go on
forever and ever.
Nothing is negative exists your life .Everything is ideal and nothing
could possibly upset you ever. Anything which you hate has disappeared. There
is simply not one thing which you could dislike.
When you have everything you could possibly want, would you be content
or would you find new things you hate?
Read that again.
Take as much time you need to let those words sink in.
Now try to reply honestly. If not to anyone but yourself.
I have to admit, I am quite conflicted by this question. I cannot seem
to answer it with one single answer.
Obviously, the first thought which popped up was:
‘Of course I would. What else could I possibly want now?’
But the more I think of it, I start thinking of what-ifs and the
downsides.
Would I be truly content? Will I start hating on how I never have
enough? Now that is something else you can think about.
Now, I told that everything negative could be gone. That means no
murders, no rapes, no kidnappings, no poverty, no sadness and no hatred of any
sort. As long the list of good things goes, there are equal amounts of bad
things.
But the list of bad things has vanished now, right?
So, would we now drown in jealousy? Or pretentiousness? Or how about
greed?
After all, Greed is part of the seven deadly sins. But it’s a sin, and
I said that everything bad had gone...
Are we inventing ‘bad’ when we’re ‘good’? But how is that even
remotely possible? Somehow, the bad things have now found its way to your
‘perfect’ world. Did it find its way through or did you just unintentionally
welcome it?
It’s a well know notion that as long as good is there, there will be
bad too. If there’s happiness then there will be sadness. It’s a balance. There
has to be a balance between everything. The scales of good shouldn’t be up but
nor should the bad be.
But we can do what we can to restrain the bad. We cannot let criminals
run in the streets rampant just because there’s a balance. After all, we humans
cannot and will not, perhaps for a right or wrong reason which is up to you to
decide, live with evil in our lives.
Ever the sincere,
astrumrae
Note: I would be delighted to hear your thoughts on these matters I
have written about.
