Extracting the essence of Life

A Bonfire of Vanities . Thats what Life is . Peering into its never ending abyss , we can only derive more out of it . That might be the reason why many a philosophers , saints and scholars gave life the sobriquet " Infinity " . Seems impossible and sounds too preposterous. Our limited life is full of limitless possibilities and events . Rationality would speak otherwise and so would science , but Life is something beyond the realms of our shunted and stultified rationality. William Blake had rightly described Life when he penned down “Auguries of Innocence.” He says

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”

Each event in our lives is multifaceted in itself , throwing endless possibilities for us to grab onto. It is only the human eye which takes only what it wants . We have become so engrossed with our latitudes that we hardly bother to look beyond the periphery of our existence. Life is a strand of infinite events . Happiness and Sadness add vibrance to it , resulting in a beautiful fabric that is invaluable and can't be replicated . Few days back, while standing at a bus stop and hurling invectives at the lack of proficiency of our governance , something caught my attention and gave me a reason to smile . The sight of two little puppies canoodling each other rekindled my thought and set me thinking about looking beyond the periphery. I am no philosopher but as far as I am concerned I would definitely try to beautify the fabric of my life . Spend the life is "Pursuit of Happyness " . There are always opportunities hidden even during the darkest hours . Most of us give up on our pursuit and fight just before we reach our goal. We just need that extra zeal in us to cover the last lap . Rather than getting entangled in the deadly maze we should persist and persevere towards reaching our goal . Life may not be always about Winning but it is definitely about Having that insatiable tendency to Win .
