What for?



Since ages man has been living on this planet called earth, one generation ends another generation begins this cycle has been continuous in almost all forms of life, older living animals die and young one are born. But all that we do in whole of our life just vanishes with our death, I mean everything is lost in that single instant when one dies. But even than we work hard be it in any field just to know that one day all this would come down to nothing but a dead body a piece of muscles and skin. So why the hell do we study to gain so much knowledge, we work hard to progress in our fields of interest, why do we do this when we know that it is futile to do so. We live in the myth that we are immortal; no one ever dares to think of the day of his death.

Whatever we do, we do it by considering that we would live for many years, but no one ever knows when he or she would die it can be years or can even be the next instant, we never think that all the hard work we do thinking that its for us is not really for us its for the world, by all this the one benefiting is the world the world progresses ahead, and not us our progress is fleeting but the progress of the world is long-lasting. All the fame that one gets is finished once that person dies the person at the most is then documented in the books and nothing more, and once that generation passes the value of it further deteriorates, so all in all we are a fool if we think that whatever we are doing we are doing for ourselves cause its not so and it would never be so!

No matter be it our work or our family whatever we do is nothing or would become nothing, that’s what is the absolute truth its our foolishness to think that whatever we do is everlasting because one day even the family would end. So what for do we do what we do? In this context it really seems that all of us are just actors of a play and after our role is over we will have to leave the stage that’s this world. In the end the person who works 24*7 is equal to the person who does no work at all. So why the hell do we work so hard just to know one day all that we do would stand as virtually nothing, it will mean nothing to others in any case this is what is going to happen no matter whatever we do.

welcome to the world of bloggers himanshu!
now for the comments part.. i beg to differ. when u work 24*7 ,dont u feel satisfied from within? dont u feel a peace of mind when u achieve something novel and nobel? or if you just earn money out of your work even then doesnt it provide you with happiness when u get food to eat or are able to support your family?
lastly what we need to think is how to make this world or this life of ours a happy one. who cares what happens when we die huh? we are provided with a mechanism that we dont keep thinking about our death, coz if we start thinking about it then we would stop trying to achieve something for the better, coz we will all start thinin the way u r while u were writing this post of urs..
happy blogging ;)

Well ady whatever we do is because we want to make our future secure we work our asses of so as in some part of our future we may live a life we always dreamt of but whats the use of all of that when one day or another all of it is going to converge to ashes I mean all the things which we would be wud be equivalent to nothing It wud be same as if we existed or if we didnt existed! And we never live our present to the best beause of the circumstances and our choices, but somewhere inside we all think of our future which may or may not exist so basically what I intended to point was to the fact that a guys like us and the guys like "the velha guys " r gonna end up in the same way so y the hell r we doin so much more than them when ........................

well.. isnt the journey more important than the destination itself??

Well I do agree that journey is more important than the destination but what does journey mean if you don't work to cover the distance and also journey is complete when you reach the destination but what if you don't reach the destination? Reaching to the top is something which makes you more happy! and for some its the only goal. Its that happiness of reaching the top of a summit which keeps us inspired to work hard to get there not the journey or the base camps! What I wanted to say was that we just see the top but not the downfall after it and in some cases we aren't even able to reach the top so in both ways we are losing! I hope you got the point
