What is this 'life' all about!!

The Question is - What is this 'life' all about!!

SPIRITUAL ADVANCEMENT seems to be the truest answer holding the 'essence' of all forms of belief.

Then the Question arises - what are we doing in this rat race!!

maybe the truest answer here - SURVIVAL has surpassed somewhere into confused mayhem, losing it's boundaries, each caught up so desperately in it's clutches that none is able to stop.. and hearts charged with life.. are charged with gold and silver instead..

Who knows the 'boundaries' here.. of survival.. a better lifestyle.. a better education.. a better world.. a better 'human-being'??

Legacies - so many of them.. Customs followed blindly.. Birth.. Education.. Employment.. Marriage.. Children(Birth).. and so on.. a vicious whirlpool swallowing the very souls of each 'family' in this quest for...!!??!!

Were Marriages and having children meant to be a custom, or a promise between two people who could not spend their lives without each other.. and children an expression of that love..

a custom ending in myriad divorce courts.. or strangling souls of either spouse under the guise of adjustment.. or tiny hearts exposed to the 'viciousness' of relationships.. People are marrying because they have to.. burdened under the weight of added responsiblities of a family, whether they can afford to or not.. both emotionally and materially.. and you end up seeing cruelty in homes.. between spouses.. with children.. why would one marry if one cannot afford it.. and why would one have kids, when one cannot take care of them..

Education and Work too are followed with complete focused blindness.. impossible to differentiate what is more important here.. Education or our Child.. as for Work.. a man offered 90 crores for a deal, waited for it to reach 200 crores, but the market scenario changed.. and he was left with nothing.. what is the yardstick here..!! what would he have done with 90 crores, that he needed 200.. and still.. people dealing in these huge sums, which benefit none.. not even themselves.. because they are busy trying to 'take care' of it.. never dream of even taking out a little sum.. to help their own family or friends..

Are we destroying ourselves.. our families.. our world.. our planet.. or building.. nurturing.. protecting it..

Is it about Legacies then..!! To leave behind a name - in the myriad names left behind in myriad lifetimes..
