Reflection of the day #1

So I am to write something. But that is easier said than done. There are so many things to consider when you are trying to write. The first and foremost is: what do I write about ? What would be an interesting topic for the audience ? Say you make a decision on your topic, even then you will have to pick an angle cause there are just so many ways to cover a single topic. Of course there are more advance questions along with many others. I am stuck at a more basic level of what though.

So I decided to just go on and ramble about some nonsensical philosophical reflections. Afterall that's what fills my head more than actual content of any substance most of the time.

Life is full of worry, full of regret. And one of the greatest worry is letting go or wasting opportunities that knocks at your door. But which one is indeed an opportunity and which one is definitely there to just make you waste your precious time is hard to tell. And the worry is always mixed with a pinch of guilt, for the thoughtful at the very least. As you mourn all the opportunities you have missed and the time that was wasted, you also notice all the blessings you have received. So you become confused, am I being ungrateful by mourning all of my lost opportunities and being upset over things I never had ? Or is it the fuel that is supposed to keep us going and dreaming and working towards a better life. To change, to evolve is to live. So how do I draw a line between ungratefulness and thriving for something better? If we didn't, if all were to just adjust to their situation, we wouldn't be where we are today as a society.

Yet, it sometimes feel like too much expectation on yourself. Always change, always evolve and always trying to better things also mean always remaining unsatisfied. But we need to fit in both somehow. Both gratefulness and ambition need to coexist with one another. I am sure most of us know deep down that the line could be blurry sometimes, between ungratefulness and ambition, between gratefulness and settling down.

Thinking is necessary and the most human thing to do. Truly it is one trait that sets the humans apart from the rest of the creation, well the widely known creations at least. But for the thinkers also awaits the realization of nothingness, the realization of the pointlessness of every action, every dreams and aspirations. But once that door opens, you have to keep an eye on it constantly and keep it shut down. A momentary lapse in your push to keep the door closed will blast it wide open, engulfing your world into a thick smoke of darkness. 

So in the end, whatever you do in life, striking balance is the hardest thing to do, between more and enough, between thoughtfulness and quiet peace.
