In the face of Transience of the Transient



Most often the things we value, the things that give us solace, and the things that make us feel at home on this planet are the ones we never get to keep. They come as a tease and the moment we begin getting used to the idea of having them in our lives, we cease to possess them. But sometimes it’s not even about possession. Sometimes it’s just about their presence. Because they act as a catalyst to make us push ourselves. Because sometimes they simply act as a distraction to allow us to focus on things that really matter in life.

To grow as a person, to really find the one who breathes life in this manifestation of flesh and blood, does not come easy. When things that motivate us are taken away from us, we are forced to find motivation in things we hitherto did not care about. It is then that we wonder what the entire purpose of the act was. But the challenge of life is to find meaning where there is none.

Because we did not evolve by memorizing axioms. That is not what life is meant for. What it’s meant for is to theorize and ideate and iterate, and find that which completes us and our purpose for existing.
