I was born on 25th August 1988 A.D. On 25th August 1989 I was 1 year old. You get the idea, I hope . Today I am 19 something. So?
Well, thats the whole point. So what? What the hell did I do all these years? What is the meaning behind it?
Mere existence seems absurd. Meaningless. (I am getting a feeling that I am repeating myself, a lot for that matter.)
We all take birth (seems we do not have an option!); grow up a bit; go to school, cram up up a few things here and there; go to college; have a job; get married; have kids, see to it, that our kids follow the same routine; grow old and die.
That's it! We die in the end. So why do all those things? Do they matter? What is the objective of life?
Each moment in life, most of us, are looking forward to some other moment in the future. Each action(at least most of them) is taken for the future. So why the endless running for something or the other? When we do get what we had been running after for so long, the very next moment we start running after something else, forgetting all about what you just obtained.
I too am running. But at the moment I don't know towards what. I am really tired now. I don't want to run anymore.
So when does it stop? What is it that we really need? Is it just the need to need?
Maybe we need a need to exist. Or else why the need to exist! Maybe we all need something to live for. But if that is the case then , why create needs? Why exist?

Hehe! Well everybody has that time in his/her life where looking up in the sky(or for the matter anywhere we expect answers from) and question "existence".
Maybe if people knew the reason they would just shoot themselves(?). Its the whole mystery that humanity has hyped on - the gift of "living". Its like something out of nothing.
Whenever a paradox seems too conflicting, people are best at their main talent - ignore its presence and package it into something attractive.
People often do remark on this question of "existence" but its met with the cliched answer of "Its for you to discover!" which is the semantic equivalent of "Look pal! Even god doesnt know that so why dont you shut up and move on!"
Cheers!
Yeah .... true !!
Very true indeed !
we run, we search something throughout the life may be...the running part never stops i guess, thats existentialism perhaps...!!
(not to c the 'may be', 'i guess', and 'perhaps' part in the comment to ensure that i m not so sure..;) )
