The Human Puzzle
Dear Friends,
As souls, we once lived happily in the abode of the Lord! However, we defied and challenged HIM, desiring an independent life relying on self-power. We journeyed far, left HIM, and landed on an unknown celestial object called Earth.
Now, the real challenge begins as we try to impress everyone around us, simultaneously wishing and cursing each other, depending on the context, time, and space factors! Let’s see how this struggle unfolds in this mysterious place known as Earth!
As life, the first shock comes when we, as souls, land in the most congested chamber filled with amniotic fluid (composed of water, electrolytes, and fetal cells) with our heads down! The initial challenge we face is to emerge from that place after residing for nine months! Finally, we emerge, but the conditions are unknown! You don’t know the place where you are going to live; you don’t know your social circle; you don’t have any control over your financial leverage, parents, siblings, relatives, and the entire neighborhood.
With compromise, you try to impress or impeach one after another, starting with parents, siblings, and immediate relatives. If you abide by the conditions imposed by the house, you are called mature; otherwise, mischievous!
With a lot of aspirations, you go to school and college with your born intelligence. We are all born with a maximum of 1 or 2 intelligence, maybe another 1 or 2 upon training. However, if the teacher, course, or parents wish/desire, or market demand is in the opposite intelligence, you are branded as non-studious, unintelligent, lethargic, and non-aligned with the school/college/home conditions! However, you somehow compromise, with great effort, get trained in alien intelligence. Is it not a challenge?
Post-college, we develop certain relationships with many assumptions, develop trust, and become entangled with the conditions of another soul of the opposite gender, without actually knowing or reading those conditions and assumptions. Eventually, it leads to trust deficiency on either party, and we face another new challenge!
Somehow, we come out after certain realizations, start trying to get established for independently earning our own bread, and try to impress employers, customers, fellow employees, and, for that matter, all professional stakeholders. In the process, you make and fake, undoubtedly 50% each! Is it not a grand challenge?
Still not satisfied with these challenges, we defy further, establish our own families by making new promises, and raise children again with our own conditions and assumptions. Definitely, one of the spouses and parents/children compromise because their intelligence and aspirations differ! Is it not a mega challenge in the twist of your life?
We grow old, our intelligence diminishes, cognizance dwindles, dependence on children and relatives increases, and we enter into a super challenge!
In the process, during the flag end of our lives, we pride ourselves on all our past achievements (with no relevance in the time context), but call it experience without remembering that we defied the Lord and came to this celestial object named Earth. We desperately try to GO BACK TO THE LORD'S ABODE, standing in a large queue, sharing our mistake of leaving HIM despite HIS repeated warnings! This is called a mammoth challenge!!
Amid all these challenges, should I say, “Happy New Year 2024”?
Note: I am not writing in a philosophical sense, but rather a pragmatic sense! If I have hurt any sentiments, sincerely apologize. If I make sense, adapt to these justifications. These views are personal.
