Questions that haunt my mind


Does selfless love really exist? More often than not, is not the need to be loved being labelled as love? And how fair is selfless love? I mean, is it fair to expect a person to continue loving someone who is an absolute monster? Does this mean that Quid-Pro-Quo is the benchmark of “fair love”? Is certain amount of fairness imperative to the concept of love?



Is the creator not lonely? For it takes a great amount of loneliness to suffer the company of absolute fools, the humans!

What if we are actually honest with everyone all the time? Brutally, fully and completely honest? Will it not be the beginning of the end of several relationships? Will the end be for good or bad? I wonder how this world would be if everyone speaks nothing but the truth. Would it not be totally chaotic?

If love is the ultimate answer to all the puzzles, if it indeed is so simple, then why do we fear decoding the puzzle of life by using the key of love? Why do we get attracted to the complex solutions which are not rooted in love but fear, hate and jealously?

 If comparison is the root cause of strife and restlessness, wouldn’t it have died its natural death in the course of evolution? Does the need to compare serve some constructive purpose? Does it lead you somewhere?



What are the characteristics of evolution? Simple characteristics of evolution? Can there ever be any simple characteristics of evolution? Are we moving towards complexity with every passing millisecond?

If truth is the ultimate destination of all the religions of the world, why is the oil of lie required to smoothen the rough counters of the basic tools that are needed to operate this world?

Unfairness, deceit and exploitation has inherently been the fundamentals upon which the civilisation has come to survive and rest since time immemorial. And we, as a race, have been striving to uproot and/or address the issues arising out of unfairness, deceit and exploitation. Is there a possibility that we will destroy the human civilisation per se in the process of trying to set right what has been practised since ages? Is unfairness and brute power really the operating principles of the world? What are the replaceable principles?

Why does unrequited love hurt so much? Why does it take the form and shape of a sore wound that refuses to heal?

I have come to realise the fact that I am absolutely dispensable in the larger scheme of life! The world will be absolutely functional in my absence. Nothing will stop. The sun will continue to rise and set. The tides will continue to ebb and flow. The days will continue to follow night and the night will in turn follow day to form week, months and years. The world wouldn’t stop evolving, moving ahead and consequentially self-destroying itself. So why worry so much? Why fret, fight and fuss? Instead, why not forgive, fool around and have fun?  If in the process, I end up decoding the purpose of my existence, good for me. If not, I will go to my grave with the satisfaction that I lived every moment to the fullest J
