The quintessential question that has bogged philosophers and drunks alike for centuries. The answer, as evasive as ever. In the daily grind of life, we barely find time to ponder about the most important things; those direct questions about life we don't have an answer to, for we never strive to look for them.
Fortunately (or unfortunately I guess), certain events in my life have forced me to think about it. Anyways, I was a deep thinker from the beginning. I would stare at stars in the night sky and wonder how small we are, how inconsequential our own existence is, how disposable we are, if we look beyond the realms of our planet, into the universe (I had more knowledge about universe than a normal kid due my deep interest in cosmology).
It's a scary experience to dig deep into you. It's not what you find, it's what you don't. On the inside, we are all empty. No desires, no worries.Nothing. Zilch. And the eerie calmness that comes from this nothingness is what scares me. For it leaves me devoid of everything : all emotions, all ambitions, all hopes. People say dig deep down inside to find motivation. But if you dig deeper; there's nothing. In the long night walks I took alone, in the utter silence and calmness of the night, I took a shovel and dug deep; so deep that coming out is no longer an option. Yet, here I am, writing this blog entry. Why? Frankly, I don't care. But mere existence has to be supplemented by certain activities to make one living, or at least appear living.
Before closing, once again, why am I here?
Pass the gene, you bitch, why else. AKA , fucking.

"mere existence has to be supplemented by certain activities to make one living, or at least appear living"...he he...i cudnt have replied any better...
hmmmm...dont know how serious you were while penning this, but if you were, i'd consider you pretty lucky to be so un-attached to stuff, and i'd view the emptyness as a sort of nothingness, which the great saints found so blissfull...lol dont take me as some kind of religious fenatic, hindu philosophy is my passion
Btw, dont know how much into religion or sprituality you are, but Krishna said this, that one should go into the world with a sense of non-attachment, and observe events from a distance, as though in a play or drama...not the exact words but thats the general gist lol
Hell, 'passing on the genes' is reason enough for me to be down here !!!
i wouldn't count myself as lucky. being unattached to anything, makes me less of human....it is the very feelings and emotions that make us "human"...i essentially lack 'em all
its funny, i had said pretty much the same words to a friend of mine jus a couple weeks back.
use it in your favour bro, your strengths are that you can think rationally and objectivey, something that emotionally charged individuals rarely do.
Btw, when the answer to life and the existencial question is 42, there's nothing for us to do but enjoy the ride :-D
btw, forgot to add, it was a good read
@Psycho
A few doubts -
1. Which are you? A drunk or a philosopher?
2. Did you start off with "zilch" on the inside?
3. Why are there so many big words?
@blaggard88
SHAMELESS!
@blaggard
Again - big words!
And since the knowledge of the ultimate question and the answer of life, the universe and everything, are mutually exclusive,you can't be so dismissive of it!
hmm ppl say i have the mind of a rapist !!
but i see that in u ...lol :D
anyways u did a gud job smwht similar to mine !!!
plzz read my posts : "the enemy is in me" and "my sense of deja vu "
u vil understnd y did i say so !
@peter
i even have the looks of a rapist
thank u
@peter
Is there a move to save vowels for our future generations to use? I didn't know they were non-renewable.
@psycho - the - rapist?
I guess you wanna say that those people who just cannot fuck because of their biological situations are actually non-applicable for living or existence.
or, a person stops existing if he goes for sterlisation or voluntarily chooses to be virgin/brhmachari.
so, i guess all the thinkers like gautam buddha mahavir, maharishi dayanand saraswati, Vivekanand etc were big time fools cos they never got idea that they "exists" to fuck.
Doesn't matter to me. each and every person has freedom to decide for what he/she exists.
I don't exist for mere fucking. and until my freedom is not surpassed or exploited by any other person (including you) or society or government or any fucking religion, i have no problems with all these wierd and useless crappy fuckingly idiotic posts and ideas.
As for me, I exist to enjoy and use the consciousness i have got to its full potential, and I own liberty/freedom to enjoy that. any sort of refusal to my freedom causes a rush of resistence and revolt in me to fight for my individual rights.
I know i would like to roam naked in the country park at cannaught place at delhi or at India gate, but society stops me or threatens me that someone will rape. and this attitude of fucking society and its unit entities like you sucks big time.
My SiteReason for Liberty
i take it as a personal insult to be compared to the lame ass Gandhi.
Meanwhile, I'm glad you enjoy your personal liberty big time. Good for you.
And yes I suck big time. But not because you say so. Who are you anyways? Do you know me? NO. But I am not going to go ahead and say that you suck. Because I am not the prejudices cunt (or dick in fact) that you are. I do not know you, so logically I should not have an opinion about your cynic ass. But that doesn't stop me from saying things, does it? No.
It is not people like me who make this world sick. It is your lot. Who live in an imaginary world of "your freedoms". Do you even understand the term? If just being able to do what you wish to do is freedom, then you are as good as a lame ass wild boar in the jungle or an over fucked stray street bitch.
But I don't blame you, do I? No. I do not expect sub-intelligent beings to ever wrap their head around the funda of existence.
And yes, you based your entire reply on my closing remark. Which further proves your lack of intelligence as you missed something called as sarcasm.
And yes, I did not mean anything I wrote above. even if I did, you would not get it.
Thanks for the comments.
(PS : This closing statement is NOT sarcastic. Just to clarify)
@ Psycho
Sweetie, "diva" = female, no?
No confusion, please.
@ unpretentious_diva
Just by grabbing on to some random idea and interspersing your comments with heavy language, doesn't make you unpretentious or a diva. You're a sad little thing. We pity you. Really, we do.
With love,
Dame Folle
yeah diva = female = rakhi sawant i guess
well good post n made a philosophical reading
well i wud suggest plz dun think too much
n i know u wil keep posting ...lol
Ahhh I had a nice time reading the post. But I had a BRILLIANT time reading the comments. Dude/Dudette you are not the only ones in blogville who fall prey to the extreme and concentrated bullshit offered by diva.
Answer to the question...I don't think I can ever think deep enough to get the answer...But one of the most common and widely accepted answer is: "Cos God wanted us to be here."
Cheers!
aah.. sublime twist in the variety of articles I find here.. very exciting!!
Bhagvad Gita always stresses on this idea of a detachedness, perhaps I've seen the first homo sapien of that kind. I'm not like that, I always hit upon some rock solid desire deep inside. :(
& good answer to diva.. i've been victim to one of her rants too..
