Floating

12th March, 2018.

One of the most amazing human effort that I have most keenly observed is their attempt to provide everything with a general idea of causality - the idea that everything pertains to the boundaries of a cause to effect phenomenon. It indeed is a hilarious form of entertainment for me to see everyone running in this loop; 2+2=4 is always the easy answer.

Because that serves a better purpose, a firm and resolute structure of bliss that follows is extremely commonplace, provides a strong explanation for almost everything. And that just leads to a certain hubris of the human mind - control.

No one really ponders over this because everyone has got a plan, a backup plan and even if these two fail, they'd have a failsafe plan - everyone just believes that everything is calculable. But in retrospect, in the hindsight of everything, has no one learnt this yet? The only thing that is certain here is the random uncontrollability of life. And as clichéd as it might be, when indeed was the last time we had everything as we planned? The certainty of the outcome we hope for seems nothing but a major flaw in the design, right?

I know of people who claim to have learnt the way to control life, to plan ahead, they plan for joy, sorrow, hope, despair, love, pain. It just amuses me to see so many of them putting an effort on something which is well out of their bounds.

I will admit that there are some things which can be calculated and planned. I am not disparaging that, neither can I deny that because I do that too, the illusion of being in control is often a tempting one but really, what I've learned so far is the fact that the universe (metaphysical one) does not gives a damn anyways, and certainly it doesn't takes it kindly either. Mostly deaf and blind, the grand design is in itself a raging paradox.

I'm not a Buddhist or a Stoic, neither I am an existentialist or an absurdist or a nihilist, I find these labels more than insulting which encourages meaningless casuistry and provides an escape, but they all say the same thing over and over again. Mostly this is common knowledge, creating a value system for those who suffer much and now think that it's time to let go of the wheel, it really needs no label.

And for most of the part, the temporality of everything is so concrete, I'm sure that in given time, everything else will be rendered moot.

Eh well... That's gonna suck I guess.

But until then!
