The Unpredictable Beauty

THE UNPREDICTABLE BEAUTY

“I am an unpredictable journey.” - LIFE

Predictable - a word used to describe, in a way, what the future holds. There are many people claiming they can see the future and, since you can't clap with one hand, there are those people too who want to know their future. They're ready to pay hefty costs to know it.  Let's enumerate the pros & cons of knowing the unknown.

We should understand that if we know the future, then obviously, whatever we do right now will eventually nudge us to it. Therefore, we get a mental relief from the 'surprise' that the person awaits as an outcome. Knowing future is also good to see how the person's life will be & thus, if it's a brighter future - the person becomes more optimistic. So it helps in preparing for what's left in the tank. For a student or a lover: the most important thing is to know the final result i.e. whether they'd have a good, serene & safe future ahead or that they'd have to struggle a bit. The person would become more relaxed, mentally as he/she knows "tomorrow". Thus, the approach towards work would be a bit casual. We know if the future is sweeter or bitter for us, so we take a casual approach towards life - we know it's going to come so we're preparing ourselves to withstand it but ultimately, the person loses all hope.

Now, what if the wheel of life goes on as it must - without us knowing the outcome? We don't know what will happen to us tomorrow, whether we'll meet somebody, or will we achieve something or even - will we die tomorrow?! The beauty, here, is that we don't know "tomorrow" & so we work harder - this defines our character. We're curious to know "tomorrow" & that curiosity motivates us to just 'draw the last inch'. No doubt, under pressure situations we're under extreme aggression which is not a position to be but yet, this is a pleasurable pressure. We know that the day will end & a new ray of light will await us "tomorrow" - thus we've hope. And afterall, hope is the thing, the fuel that keeps the hunger of curiosity & our charm to live - alive! If we know that the world will be coming to an end "tomorrow" then we'd act as per our "bucket list" but if we don't know it - we'd die normally. Hence, the person's life commences calmly. The horror of getting to see the hands of death suffocating & choking us is far more worse than dying with same method without having to look at it.

Be it any perspective, the excitement & the thrill of unpredictability of life is what inspires us. It is what keeps us going on & on till we finally understand what we're looking for. Sometime's knowing isn't everything. And sometimes we know things that we aren't supposed to know, so let by-gones be by-gones & focus on the beauty that we possess in our minds & thoughts regarding life. The ultimate thing that we should indulge in voluntarily is doing our 'Karma'. I'll elaborate on this in my next post..
