ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST……SO, IS LIFE POINTLESS?
Rose is “the” flower I love. Period. Even when they are wilted and dying, I see the beauty in them. Even when the petals are falling off, I don’t have the heart to discard them. Such is the beauty of the flower.
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”
The same holds true for “Life” too. Life’s beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The immanent awareness of the end does not stop us from living.
Our dreams, our aspirations, our relationships, our hardships.....
make us the person we are.
"Thou hast power only to act not over the result thereof. Act thou' therefore without prospect of the result and without succumbing to inaction."- Srimad Bhagwat Gita
"Life is too deep for words. So don't try to describe it- just live it."-Unknown
Carpe diem!! and enjoy this roller coaster ride of your "Life"
I think the more fully we live it, the less pointless it seems. Nice collection of words and images, Janaki.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this collection of thoughts as well. Life is beyond description, I think we can often spend so much time trying to figure it out that we essentially miss the important parts. Lovely reminder, thank you! Have a wonderful, full day!
ReplyDeleteAn inspiring collection of posts here... However I don't think one needs to define life...if we did then it would be very limiting... Life is abstract it is define less...one can experience so much....
ReplyDeleteTake care
Loved this inspiration! Living each day like it was your last and living life to the fullest - that's the ticket!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Very challenging thoughts... lovely!
ReplyDeleteFirst let me thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people confuse living with existing. I know I did for many years of my life. Life does not wait, and good things do not come to those who wait. You have to wake up and live; plain and simple.
Going philosophical there…
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess the answer is there as well… don’t ask for the meaning of life, we are thinking, rational beings, we got to define it because we are the only beings on this earth that can perceive the fact that we are born, we are living and we will cease to be one day… “I think therefore I am” nha? (though that’s sort of a stupid statement to me :P)
Have you read my blog subtitle? :P
A great collection of wise words, life is for the living and for living :) My father's favorite quote was, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".
