life is a curve

yup........it is as simple as that.Several theories have been propounded about life."Life's a race" .. say some,"It's a fruit to be relished" say others but ...i find it .......just a curve....which keeps changing its shape,and thus the equations which govern it.

Our childhood is like a parabola ...(y*y= 4*a*x), because in childhood we keep looking upwards towards a bright and a fulfilling future which is very much like the trajectory of the above curve near the origin.At that time we are not able to see any boundaries and obstructions to our dreams. We believe that we can achieve anything we aspire for.It is a period of boundless imagination just like the parabola above which has no limits.


Then when we reach adulthood , we find ourselves mature enough to visualize our limitations.At that time life appears like an ellipse,in which one of the diameters has become fixed because of the decisions taken earlier...but we keep struggling and racing to make the other diameter as large as poosible..,we are not content with the area that we have already congregated and keep vying for more.At this time the curve is under a lot of external influences,which keep determining its other..or rather the flexible diameter..

In the end, when this race ends and we get the time for contemplation and speculation,life seems to be a full circle.The journey may have transformed us materially , but spiritually,intrinsically and emotionally we find ourselves still the same.At times we did seek the favor of appearances but they were transitory changes...accepted only for ease, and in most of the cases these transitions are regretted.Finally we realize the importance of SELF and admonish ourselves for giving it up whensoever the circumstances demanded.We realize that our own actions shape our destiny and not the vice versa..


In the end the only message I want to convey is "Live life to the fullest.Every moment is meant to be enjoyed."It has its own complications, because after all its a curve and so u need to keep changing your direction at every point to travel on it.....but changes should be welcome,and the symmetry of this ever changing curve should be appreciated ...
