Existentialism


As long as there is life, there is a hope, a second chance to stand and redeem yourself, a chance to realize, to express yourself better with incessant activity. Death is a welcome change too; it gives a break from life, needless thinking, and futile existence amidst mundane, meaningless and ceaseless activities. It promises a new beginning, a clean slate to renew the struggles of life afresh, to move closer towards the understanding of the whole mechanism of life and its ultimate goal, and the reason for the existence of the world where everything looks futile and worthless. But, still, one finds nothing but beauty, happiness, peace, and calmness with closer study of the soul which pervades the universe. The existence of which, in a mysterious manner, is undisturbed by death, loneliness, misery, and acute pain of mind, heart, and body that grows old to merge with the infinite, eternal bliss called death. The bliss and calmness which is constant even in the midst of thousand bodies soaked in blood and the heartrending cries of the bereaved ones seems the only logical reason for the existence of the world that has long gone mad. It is the consciousness of infinity, calmness, and blessedness of existence that makes the word go in a merry-go-round of life, activity and death, although our existence is never threatened by all these illusions that shroud humanity. Life and death are different forms of manifestation of existence and consciousness which are the eternal character of the soul which never changes– in life or death.
