Life is Beautiful!

I have spent a lot of my time looking for meaning. Everyone does. Our education system is such that at every given stage we are loading our brains with more and more of something. This something just keeps growing with time. Human being as a species is unique because it has developed a taste for something called the meaning. There is a craving for it in us. We have become such slaves to this that if we do not understand something, we just cannot associate ourselves with it whatever that something may be.

Let me try and delve into this a bit more. Have you ever experienced a feeling of complete inactivity? That is your brains is quite active, but your body is numb, refusing to budge. It takes the energy of a thousand galleons just to raise your eyebrows. I am not talking about the time when you are either in a drunken stupor or when you are fast asleep and experiencing something like this in a dream. I am talking about general, normal times.

When you see a child hardly one year old, playing, smiling blissfully, completely unmindful of its surroundings, what do you feel? Why are you and me not able to experience the same blissfulness? Let me put it a bit more straightforward, can you tell me when and how do you think you will be able to experience that blissfulness?

From my entire learning so far, I have only and truly learnt just one thing. And that is that every now and then, there is a part of my body that starts aching, it wants something, even if no one had taught me anything, I probably would have know what it wants. If I were a child and was dependant on others, I probably would have conveyed my need to them in some way. If I was a grown up, then I would probably help myself.
