I Live . . . . Do you??

hey!! hi stranger!! thanks for droppin' in. I am The lone itinerant, roaming (although not aimlessly) in this world to fulfill my quest for ultimate. Quest for knowing who I am, why do i live, why do we all exist.

Don't you feel that God is too rational to create this world without any reason of his own? I do feel so. I feel that there is definately some reason behind our existence. And so, I refuse to live without knowing this reason. I can't go through the normal routine of life, wherein you first learn to follow rules setup by the society and finally end up being just another spare part of this huge corporal system called society.Wherein, you don't ask yourself questions starting with what and why, but only how. You live your life doing things of someone else and/or for someone else 'coz someone else wants you to do them.And one fine day you lie on your deathbed only to realise that you never lived for sake of your ownself. You realise that you spent your life iterating I will do it, I wish to be it, I love you, I hate you, I like it, I hate it,I do and so many other "I" statements without knowing what that "I" really meant!! Is such a life liveable?

It takes a lot of courage to say " I Live" 'coz for that you need to be cognizant of the two most uncogniziable things viz. "I" and "life", doesn't it? Most people in this world live like dead zombies, unaware of there own existence. I don't say I know what that "Life" exactly means but am sure I Know what that "I" means in my case and believe me, that reallyhelps you to live your life lively.

If you feel the way I do then you be "a" lone itinerant too. "A" lone intinerant 'coz only I am "The" lone itinerant ;) and lone 'coz noone else can help you in this quest of yours. Afterall, you have to realise what that "I" means and not what "WE" means, right?

so ... wish you a happy journey!! live life lively!!!

hmm, it does seem that we are on a similar quest, though we might be following paths to find the ultimate truth, or just the ultimate?!
But what is that? Is it there mere survival of the fittest, or of having done something different, or to have not followed the herd and end up a spectacle, or to stand firm to one's belief's, or to mould oneself to be adaptable to any situation, or to follow one's heart, or to do things to get back at people...the list is endless and am sure you will list out things which may not be in the above list at all.
How do we follow a quest which has so many paths, where each path again can give us multitudes of choices which again may or may not lead us towards the path of the ultimate (truth?).
Questions, questions and more questions I have and yet, these questions are the ones that drive me forward to move a step higher, whether it is towards becoming a higher being, or becoming the quintessential aplha male, or a higher intelligent being, I do not know as of now. But personally I would prefer it to be a mix of everything and am inclined to become a higher intelligent being...
I do believe that we already do know the answers to everything and they wait for us in the recesses of our gray cells. It is just a matter of time, effort and perseverance on our part to extract that information. Scientific fact states that we use less than 5% of our brain power, and yet with that, we remember most of the subjects taught to us till date, we remember most of the important events of our lives, we remember our good and bad experiences, we remember the taste of the food we eat, we know a lot about the people around us...well, you also know what you remember from whence you opened your eyes, right?
It's like the saying "So close, yet so far!"...Well, i'll leave you with these thoughts and if you so feel like adding something, feel free to leave a comment on my blog.

Hey Mr. The Lone Itinerant let me clear some of ur doubts.
If you get to know what you are living for or what ur existence is for? say by the age of 30, then what are you supposed to do the rest of ur life? Life is a journey not a mere stop/destination. In your journey you find a lot of ppl, who become acquaintances/friends/best friends. Life is not just living for urself, It includes how you mingle with all these stakeholders and how balanced relations you have with them. It is not just what you get from the society, it is also about what you contribute.

It’s up to you to follow the rules of the society or not, what matters is - are you doing anything good by not following them. No matter what you crave or what you want to achieve, if it is useful to others then you would be remembered even after death. And it really matters how many ppl turn upto to your deathbed and say – May God rest him in peace.

And don’t think too much about life and yourself. You are just a drop in the ocean and so am I.
Think about good and the rest follows.

Many Wishes for the New Year.

And as Keshav says - Ahem

'I' and the quest. this quest has got the destination, its not that hard. but, once you reach there its not easy to live where we all live as 'I' or 'we' in the end dosent matter.

funny isn't it?
