Of life, dreams, frustration. And Fermat’s last theorem October 27, 2008

Well.. its all a maze of time. Living it every day makes it more confusing. I keep walking, thinking I know the way or else, I’ll make my way. Somedays, I seem to win. But most days, I seem so lost… 

Seems like there is something we know about ourselves. Somedays it feels like a strong intuition. And some other days, nothing more than a stupid self belief. Without reason, without evidence, why do we believe in ourself? What makes us think we can make it, when we don’t even know the road ahead…

Life in itself is a flurry or images and emotions captured in time. But there must be a reason to this motion picture we live everyday. Or atleast, should we not be finding a reason to live? A life of purpose… A purposeful life. 

Thinking of life, makes us dream. Dream of all that we wish to create. Through these dreams, we tend to see our purpose. Our raison d’etre.

Dreams lead us to expectations. And expectations are almost always met with failures. Most times, repeated failures.

Failures build frustration and we question ourselves. The same very questions we started out with: The purpose, The reason, The maze and the road ahead.

Let life roll. Let dreams fail. Let failures grow and frustration build. 

And even there is that voice that says – Keep walking… And we live to walk an other day in the maze of time.

There seems scant reason for self belief. Little chances of success. 

After all Fermat’s last theorem took three centuries to be proven. But it was true ever since it was written.

Think of knowing something that is true but not knowing how to prove it. Sometimes that’s what this journey of life looks like.

Time will bring along a proof, an evidence. Hopefully it wont take three centuries to finally justify our life. Hopefully it might just take a lifetime.
