dying to live or living to die
well..many times things would have been difficult in many ways in your/mine and everyones life.the same question has been discussed in many religious literature and many other places also, why the hell we are living?why the hell we are here..
and the only answer i have found out ,which could satisfy me to the maximum logic (not to full extent but to max extent) is that we are here for the sake of being here... there is nothing great about it,,no logic or no reason.. we are here just bcause we are here..
so what would have been if we were not here.. probably we would have been elsewhere, or someone else would have been here ,,or may be no one would have been here or probably this place would not have been here..
so why are we living ?what gr8 cause we are here to fulfill ,,whats the sole purpose of life..
to be more precise..it is not to do something good to world or do some really cool stuff,, invention or blah blah.. the way god has created us is no diffrent then animanls or anyone else for that matter..
the only purpose is just to reproduce so that the life continues..
but what the hell is being achieved if life continues,, to be precise nothing,, just nothing,,it is happeing just for the sake of happeing,, life is continuing for the sake of life should continue..

now coming back to the question "are we living to die or we are dying to live?"
while in geeta when the arjun asked kirshna ,, what is the biggest wonder of the world..?
he replied,,,"everyone knows that one has to die..even then everyone does not acknowledge it and tries to run away from it.."

when i see some of the old people ,,it gives me too much of pain to see their condition.. why are they living.. does life is always better then death??
and since i am living .what is going to be my end..same death..so what does it matter and how does it matters whatever i do here in whole my life..and sorry i don't buy that argument of swarg/narak ..paap /punya and people remembering after death..
when i will die how does it matters to me if people remember me or not.. and the concept of heaven and hell and religion is there cause people dont turn into animals... it is just like the consitution of india..or whatever..
i wrote a poem long back..probably its right place to share it..

yathartha jeevan ka
tatha kathith satya nahin hai
aur na he jeevan
kisi satya ke khooj hai
manushya ke jeene,rahne aur marne mein
jaanvaron se yahe bhinn hai
ke use pata hai ke woh jee raha hai
fir bhe woh dhoondta rahta hai
apne paraye aur parichoton ke liye
sa samman mritu
prateeksha karta hai
koi aur mare
woh na mare
waastav mein
jeevan ke ek maatr yathartha
mariyu hai
aur jeevan mrityu ke prateeksha

i think where just living to the sake of living , and when someone says id be easier to be dead they dont mean that cause if they did theyd already be dead.
