Life Goes On....

One of the most wonderful movies I watched recently. A wonderful movie with a true and real message. I had seen this movie about two years back also and tried to write something about it then but just couldn’t. I saw it today again and it was beautiful to see it.

However, I could not accept with the central message that Life goes on, because simply it does not in many cases. Life does not go on like that. It is just not that simple. Some things change you fundamentally, they shake you up, they twist and turn your most inner self, your deepest inner core gets changed, and your thoughts change, your ideas change, and your convictions receive the hardest blow and things like that.

But yes, life goes on after all such change, because you simply do not stop to live i.e. you do not stop to take breath, you do not stop to eat, to sleep and even laugh and cry sometimes. Whatever tragic event may happen in your life, you do not cease to live. That is a thing both to rejoice and to be felt sad about. Tragedies may strike you at any moment of life. At the times, you think you are invincible, they strike you right then. You feel sadness of the deepest nature in those times of tragedies. You are left behind. Every thing seems to be lost and is in fact lost. The dreams which you may have tendered with great love and care may just vanish with cruelty of the time which tragedy brings. You in fact loose every hope and tears are the only recourse. However, even in the tears you continue to breath. You continue to take air in and out of your lungs and thus life goes on. You are like that poor and shabby beggar whose begging pot had been kicked by some cruel passerby, but still the beggar with his shaking hands collect the coins felt here and there and put them back in his pot so that his life may goes on. Life has to go on, you may fall silent and changes may haunt you, but still like that hapless beggar you have to live and carry on. Some how, you have to carry on because there is no other choice. Life is all you have and thus you have to carry on. 

Life is the ultimate feeling of your existence. What else is so profound with you, nothing except your life. Life may be a mystery but at the same time there is no other beautiful thing in this world than Life. And yet some lives may not be that beautiful. Some lives may not turn out to be what was expected. But what to do, it is life. What the French would say C'est la vie. You cannot control life, you cannot plan it. The misery of life is as a truth as the beauty of life. Let life unfold the way it has to unfold. Just keep sailing in it. Do your best to live life, because that is the only option we have. We all want a perfect life, but life may not be that kind to all. But that does not mean that life is not beautiful. It is indeed beautiful. The human life is such a beautiful thing that no one perhaps could ever sum up how beautiful it is to be having breath in your lungs, to feel the warmth of the Sun, to feel the coldness of the breeze, to be contended, to be trying, to be exclaiming, to be laughing, to be crying, to be rejoicing, to be saddening. This all is the beauty of life. We are here to have as many shades of experiences as we can. 

For me, I wish my life to be a marvellous statement of experiences, as diverse and divergent as they can be. At the end, I wish to have a grand story of my life which is full of experiences of life itself. Nothing else, I aspire for. As I always believe that Experiences, good or bad, alone will be our treasure. Life alone shall be my treasure. 

To end, the beautiful music in the movie is just wonderful. Hope you love it as I do……
