Life and learning
What a ride it has been so far. I remember graduating from my computer science bachelors course 3 years ago completely oblivious of the activities I would eventually get involved in. If I begin to look back at the last 3 years, I am surprised at the way my life has evolved in a very planned yet unintentional fashion. I could never have scripted this journey but I am overwhelmed by this strong undercurrent of a feeling that reminds me of my role in this world, a part of a grander scheme of things and a goal that I am yet to fulfill. In a lot of ways I am excited and pleased by this undying desire that I carry to fill a void in my life. A perfect relationship? a peaceful environment? a brave new world? and me at the center of it; an integral part of its manifestation.
I feel there is a great destiny that awaits me if only I keep challenging myself and dare to tread the forbidden paths. Quite poetic but this feeling has only grown in me over the years and I am even more convinced that my life is meant for something big. Strife will be a common visitor but I feel it is something that my mind should learn to befriend and control and channelize it positively. I have always felt that love, if genuinely felt and communicated to fellow beings will solve all our problems and I will constantly strive to achieve the highest degree of compassion towards others. I have often found myself caught up in love that is narrow and does injustice to the very word/act of love and I am determined to change that. To love all unconditionally, to let go of ego, to let go of jealousy and to genuinely share the happiness and sadness of others lives; it is a vision that I might never achieve and the modern times are making it more difficult but the real challenge is to keep myself relevant to modern society while continuing to pursue the ideals that I feel strongly towards. To not alienate either and to find perfect synergy between the two. A life without hypocrisy while pursuing the highest of ideals will surely enrich my life and help me appreciate and understand its purpose.
The constant pursuit of wisdom is what I cherish. To keep learning through out my life and pursue such ideals as a means to an intriguing end, I beckon life to throw its punches while I roll with them.
