I came across this concept that says 'there is no meaning to life, there is nothing to pursue, nowhere to run, nothing you need to do...just be' , and when I used it in my life , it worked!
I realised that life is getting more and more complicated because of the meaning we try to extract or make out of it every single minute. We want our life to mean something, our social media is screaming about how life is so deep and meaningful, we have profound conversations with intellectuals about how we have figured out the meaning of our lives , we have workshops and seminars to help others find the meaning to their life....it's big business!
But what it does to me? or my planet is disastrous.
See we need to start from the beginning.
And this statement itself is confusing because the moment you find one beginning, you will feel 'no'..there is more to it, and you will go in search of another beginning and so on and so forth.
We come into this world with nothing. And we cry and learn to get food, and we throw some tantrums and learn to get what we want and throughout life we just go on and on wanting more. Our wants are so many that one life isn't enough. Some of us proudly talk about wanting to take another birth to fulfill our desires.
But what is this journey of fulfilling desires?
What is it doing to our soul in the process?
Are we getting better or worse?
And what about Earth...and other beings on earth..how much of their sacrifice is needed in fulfilling our selfish desires?
That is why we need to do "Nothing" now. Just stop chasing those desires. The food we eat, the dreams we dream, everything we are doing thinking we are doing something useful is taking a toll on Earth.
The more I read about it, the more I get shocked. And yes this is the path of the courageous. Because just going zero waste isn't enough, just being a vegetarian isn't enough. There are so many things to drop out of your life that 'Change' is a kind of lifestyle.
Your head will spin 360 degrees just being where you are.
No need for vacations, challenges and adventures...
just look around the mess we have created
We have been continuously contributing to the Liability of Earth's Balance Sheet.
When will we become an Asset?
