The Mystrey called Life

People often say that death is mysterious. But I'd say it's life that is more mysterious than death! After all everything is getting created and destroyed at some point (of course there are exceptions and man conveniently classifies these as energy! :)) But the so called sixth sense in man adds a lot of complexity to his (in a non-gender-specific way) life! Being fully aware that it's just a short journey between life and death, man diverts all his attention towards something else and that something is most often one or more relationship(s)! Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Wife, Cousin, Nephew, Niece, in-laws... you name it! The other common diversions include power, ambition, money, wealth, etc. When we look at all these from a philosophical perspective, man diverts his attention into so many seemingly appealing things to forget what is actually awaiting at the end. In a desperate fight to create importance to himself like an insect fighting to enter an everlasting land of glory through a florescent lamp, man keeps himself busy and shuts his eyes tight. In the end neither man nor that insect survives or wins! The most beautiful part about the whole system is the way people live their lives and worry about a gazillion things as though they are controlling the fate of the earth. To put the whole thing in one sentence, Human mind is complex, life is mysterious and the Creator is simply marvelous to have introduced such a wonderful system and the fantasies that keep it alive!
