A Picture And The Mystery Called Life

Sometimes we see a picture and marvel at very bend and curve of it. From a distance it looks just so perfect, maybe like the dream that you were in. You like it so much that you want to move closer and see how it looks like from there. Then you can see it better, you can actually see the discrepancies within the curves. You can see where the colors shouldn’t have been that deep, or light, for that matter. This line could be more straight, that one should have been more bent. And suddenly, you realize the picture is not as perfect as it looked liked.

Human relationships probably work in the same way. You like someone, and then get to know him/her. And in some cases, if you and that person are honest enough, you will find out who he/she is.  And then, like the picture you will learn to see the discrepancies in them. You may feel cheated, or if you are understanding enough, you’ll understand. It’s just that some that some things are probably never meant to work out. And maybe, somehow, they are best as they are.

All the stories that have been written probably strive for an end, a situation where most of the readers would agree there was nothing more to say. Fortunately or unfortunately, real life mostly does not work that way. When close ones die, we always want an answer: why did he/she have to die? It hurts worse it the dead person is young, and was never meant to die that way. But still, they die and we have no answers to that. We terribly want to blame someone, and in most cases it would be God. But for those who do not believe in God, who would they blame? If they are honestly non-believers, they would have no one to blame. They would either accept the situation as it is, or probably be broken forever.

Having someone to blame is always the easiest option, even in relationships and real life. But what if you know and understand the situation so well that you can not blame anyone? Not even yourself? Do you blame things on situations? Probably you do, and try to move on. If you are lucky and strong, you will. If you are not, you will be broken. In this world every problem does not end with a solution, and every problem indeed has a lot of solutions. It’s just that we choose some and discard others, based on our experiences, based on what we think, and just then, there is no one to be blamed. It’s just that we are all so engrossed in our problems that we forget to look at it with an objective vision, because real life is not a simple problem. It manifests in too complex forms, and as humans, we do get lost in them.

Yet people live. They love, write, betray, eat, make merry and die. Probably it is best not to think at all. Probably it is good not to understand everything. The more you try the more entwined you get, hence life should at best be lived, and probably, not mused upon. And maybe, if you move away from the picture and look at it again, you will be able to appreciate it again, even though you know now it is not perfect.
