Questions and more questions !


Life seems to be a question every now and then. There is a question mark at end of each road. We have traveled this journey with a big baggage of questions and for the most of times we have looked around everywhere in search of the answers, everywhere possible and every time possible. We kept looking for transparency for a major part of our life because we thought life would get a little easier and shinier but on occasions we learned that ignorance was better than the truth. Every why and how may not necessarily give us what we are looking for so once in a while we all have avoided knowing the truth. 
There are questions with answers that confuse us, other that provide lucidity. We run behind some questions while there are other questions that we run away from, we do not want them answered because we know that the answers will haunt us more than the questions. When we thought knowing the answer will set us free, help reduce the entropy of our system it turned out that it was more than we could bear.
We have been sick of this sickness and we have tried to lessen the dilemma those questions have been causing us but maybe when we find out what really was going on, we may never recover. So the question mark remains. It remains there and asks us “Do you really want to know the answer”.

Reality is chasing. How far can you run away?


When was the last time you felt an absolute need of an escape, a run-away from everything that is troubling you, everything that is pulling you out of your comfort zone and dragging you onto the path of inconvenience. We all have our own way of escapism because very often we find out that the reality is harsh and we are not in a mood to fight. As humans, we are supposed to be strong and believe in ourselves, to take the leap of faith every now and then but sometimes turning our backs to the problems and running away seems a better option. To accept the situations is hard and to sneak away seems soothing.
Deep down we are all afraid and we all have fears, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of losing ,fear of getting lost and above all fear of a change and we try hard to avoid confronting our fears, so we hide behind our fantasies and pretend that the state we are in is the state we want to be in.
The world believes in the Newton's law of inertia that a body in rest continues to be in rest till some external force forces it to run away from that force. We all do it. Every day. Its science and we cannot deny it. So we try to keep ourselves in that state of rest and we develop methods to do that. Our own escapes.

But life is not just science it also is history and geography. It knows the secret pathways of our bitter histories and it has the power of changing everything around us in a moment. Just when we've started feeling sure of our self and the defenses we've chosen, the weather outside changes. So when it is too cold outside, the best we can do sometimes is to just wrap up ourself in a blanket and wait for the springs to find its way.
