A look at history, and 1000 years back, people were worried about the same. All cultures. All socio economic levels.
500 years back - same.
50 years back - same.
Today - same.
There can be no yard stick of progress except quality of life. And on this scale, human progress is non existent.
I've been pondering theories on randomness for a couple of months now...
The basic essence of these theories is that there is no net pattern, no net direction to human life. The patterns, the net movements we see in our environment are nothing but our own imagination.
Life's flow is nothing but random interplay between living trajectories IN THE CURRENT MOMENT......no one trajectory can win the battle.
That life flows in no particular direction. All that rises, falls. All that begins, ends. The day will always melt into darkness. Life will always melt into death.
All of our achievements, struggles, insights, wisdom will melt into nothingness one day.
So, struggling in any particular direction, wanting to gravitate towards some 'meaning', working towards some 'higher goal'...it's all contrary to the random nature of reality...all such plans will therefore lead to nothing but frustration.
Maybe there is some truth to the statement that a human's life is like a leaf blowing in the wind...tiny, inconsequential, temporary flight, in an infinite, incomprehensible cosmos..
Like the ocean..no net movement, no direction...just this moment..
Like the clouds in the sky...no net movement...just this moment...
Loss and profit coexist.
The continuous interplay between opposites gives life its definition
The dance between light and shadow gives life its beauty
If only light existed, all would be dark.
There would be no form, no structure.
Just like all colours emerge from white light
Opposites emerge from the same source
