Hi Folks,

As always I have not posted anything here from the past few weeks. I was a bit busy as I moved out of my present location. I have come back home and feel pretty good about it. I am relaxing a bit now but I have to start finding ways to spice things up before life starts to get boring and monotonous. In this context a question comes up, why does life get boring?

Leading a very mechanical life can be extremely dull and sometimes even depressing too. When life does not have any higher ideal, our thinking narrows down to just ourselves and every other person becomes a competitor. We feel vey insecure and are cut off from reality. We therefore get busy in going through the daily motions of a very mechanical life which lacks inspiration. In short, we don't see things beyond the next meal....

On the other hand, the moment we think beyond ourselves, life seems to have a purpose. A higher ideal always gives happiness. In simple words, selflessness is the key to happiness. Sadly though, these basic values are not being passed to the youger generation. Education today has degenerated to mere bookish knowledge being transmitted from the teacher to the pupil without igniting the minds of the youth with a higher purpose.

Inspiration is the key to human existance and the highest inspiration is the thought of contributing something to the society. When one is inspired to serve life gets exciting and happier and most importantly one evolves as a better person.
Let us all think along these lines and make our lives more purposeful and meaningful.
Signing off for now,
Krishna.

  1. Very well said Koushik. It is true that when we think only of work-home-home-work, it gets very hard to find a valid answer to why am I here and doing this? If we first try to find the purpose of our lives and how we should achieve it, and then hitch everything we do to that, inspiration becomesa continuous spring. I am still trying to figure it out. The one thing that helps me is knowing that everyone is trying to find out the purpose of their life, so it is not just me in this situation.
