An excerpt from one of my letters...

What is life...?

I doubt if anybody has got a definition, which will embrace every domain of this pretty small question; which includes all the possible outcomes of this process and which can explain the missing pieces of this mind boggling phenomenon. I was troubled by various turbulences in my life in various facets; and every time I skirmished against such difficulties I tried to figure out a logic which can successfully answer the "Cause and Effect" of various anomalies I encountered. Every time I arrived at a conclusion, at one or other instance it contradicted my previous speculations. As Charles Dickens said-

"It was the best of times,
It was the worst of times,
It was the age of wisdom,
It was the age of foolishness,
It was the epoch of belief,
It was the epoch of incredulity,
It was the season of light,
It was the season of darkness,
It was the spring of hope,
It was the winter of despair…"

Even though I realized that most of such depictions of mine were proved to be imperfect, all of them had certain things in common which basically sounded of following what is universally known as Good. In fact the paradox I experienced in judging the righteousness was the standard bearer for this quest and my faint faith in 'Good' was concreted with the decent amount of evidence I gathered by virtue of my experiments with life. There were times at which I was frustrated by the oxymoron nature of state of affairs but as my understanding ripened I appreciated the beauty of these extremities and every immoderate situation oared me towards the light of realization. I learnt that it is the process which is important than the purpose.

This modus operandi has influenced many other aspects of mine and I am apathetic towards anything illogical. In the search of logic or a theorem which can do away with all the ambiguity inherent in life, I discovered that the very essence of the life is in its unpredictability. "Description of future is limited to a statement of the relative probability of a value rather than exact numbers", as Heisenberg proved.

And I metamorphosed from a bundle of contradictions to a highly malleable one. I really don't know how successful I am…, but life doesn't seem complicated to me any more. To that extent, I think… I can say that my efforts of understanding life have reached fruition. I do admit that there is still a long way to go but I feel that my pillars are in place. Patience and Sagacity are my mantra to fabricate my edifice of life and to work till the fat lady sings is my motto.
