‘Life is not a full stop’, is something I’ve heard so many times that it makes me cringe now.

Yes, life is a dotted line.

And yes, I used to believe just that. But then I had a chance to look inward. The world health crisis came, and like so many others, I was infected.

What Is The Objective?

Many went through tougher time. Of course, luck played its part. Yet, in the two weeks that I was room-ridden, I couldn’t help but think what was the objective.

Yes, we are going through a really bad patch, but the virus doesn’t care. Life is just like that. A virus, that tries its best to throw as much shit at you as it can.

It’s up to you, us, everyone, how we react. How we mobilize and strengthen ourselves to deal with it.

Life Doesn’t Care, So We should

The objective point of view of Life does not care. It is the nature of Life.

I didn’t know if I was getting the virus. Neither did so many of us.

Yet, most of us made it to the year of Global Reset. We came through from the year of the pandemic.

The Objective Life is out of our control. But what is in our control is how we deal with the hand that we are dealt. How we live with what we got.

Start With Helping Yourself, Then Someone

Life isn’t meant to be played in teams while it is always handy when we get some much-needed help.

If you cannot help anyone else, then help yourself. That’s the least you deserve. Build and grow. Learn and teach yourself.

I say you can.

Help yourself. Then begin to help others without expecting things in return.

Help yourself and others and see the world around you change.

The Realisation Of the Dots

The idea of the objective Life being outside our control can seem like something out of H.P. Lovecraft novel.

Life is not a dotted line. Neither is it a full stop. It’s a line that cannot be altered or predicted. I don’t think that it’s possible.

If it was possible then why would you read this? Why would anyone do anything other than the stuff they are *supposed* to do.

The line isn’t in your hand.

But the people lining up for your take, your opinion, your help are many.

Maybe that’s why the dots seem to out of place. We look at each dot.

The line is nothing but the dots attached over a long time. The idea is that we don’t expect. We help.

And hope, just hope to leave a line of work that we are proud of.
