Contemplations

Looking at the night sky, and I’m perplexed at the energy that holds everything at place. The energy that binds gigantic stars and nebulas, and hold microbes that are too small to be seen. The energy that holds us! I’m perplexed at working of the universe, so perfect! And the irony is, we insignificant creatures assume that we are the best ones. We believe finding cures, making discoveries, inventions and technological advancements to be the achievements of humanity. But we forget that we are nothing but a speck of dust in this gargantuan universe. As soon as we cross 300 miles from the surface of our planet, our ethics, rules, principles, laws, nothing holds any importance. This feeling of emptiness, this hollowness ironically makes me feel serene after the inquietude. This ascertains me, that whatever we are striving for, are merely human parameters or probably illusions of happiness and success. Because, life is way beyond human understanding. Perhaps, we were never meant

Two words, Animal and Human . According to Oxford English dictionary, one of the definition of Human is -  'Showing the better qualities of human beings, such as kindness', and of Animal is - 'Very cruel, violent, or uncivilized person'. In present scenario, if we go by the definition, does it sound anywhere correct? We should question ourselves, our race of ' mighty ', ' self-righteous' beings , do we still deserve to be called 'humans'?  We, Homo sapiens have ruled this planet. We have ruled it because we were different. We could think, we were intelligent, we had emotions, we had complex language to communicate our thoughts and feelings, we had empathy! Today, with time we are gradually loosing every distinctiveness that made us what we are.  Our false pride, fallacy, apathy, dishonesty, debauchery are taking over our 'humanity'. We are no better than animals, and sometimes even worst than them! We blame animals

"Your propensity to flaunt your 'know-it-all' attitude can never provoke admiration in the hearts of people who KNOW you. Stay humble, Stay modest! Be the branch that bear fruits."

"I believe it's my proclivity to judge people that have helped me decipher why exactly not to be like them...!"

" It's ironical how pain discerns the comprehensiveness of solitude. That excruciating moment of realization........... "

The disdain I held for this realm was my propensity. With cynicism dwelling deep in me, I kept myself from believing in the felicity that 'can' be found in this world. It was difficult for me to believe in the notion of love, gratitude, trust and friendship. And then, 'YOU' happened! My cynicism melted away. What now ensconced in me was the belief that there is still some goodness, some truthfulness and there is still hope! I was like a book kept in the cupboard, all covered in dust, waiting to be read. But you made me the page, folded at the corners, bookmarked and highlighted; as if there is a part of me you always wanted to come back to! With a tint of chaos, I found my perfect life with you! You, and only you could have made me believe in love after all the doubts I had. You came like a lullaby for my inquietude, and today I'm happy that you came..................
