Most of the times when I start scribbling, I only have the silhouette of the idea that I'm going to write about. However today I just started writing because I wanted to write something. Neither do I know what I'm going to write nor how am I going to go about it, but still I'll give it a shot. Let me jump in my box of thoughts again and search for what I was thinking about recently.
Yes, got it, I was pondering over the fact that how insignificant we are in this big canvas of creation. Just like specks of dust particles on a wall sized painting that go unnoticed, these particles stick to the surface for some duration of time, a day, a week, a month, a year, probably hundred years and then disappear in the same way they existed, unnoticed.Want to know the nothingness of our existance? This is how I do it. I stand in an open area, just me in my physical and mental form, I feel big, important. Then I include the ground that I'm standing in into my frame of reference, the picture has totally changed, I'm small, a blemish on the ground which looked better without me standing their obstructing it's features. Then I move a step further and stretch the canvas to include my locality and then my city in the same picture. How big am I? I'm not talking about size or money or power or contacts. I'm talking about the being in totality. And slowly I keep extending the horizon and include the milky way in the picture that just started with me, how do I look in that picture now? I am untraceable, as if I just was never there.
Sometimes I try and imagine the creators, whoever they may be and imagine them as those Gods they depict in Greek mythology. Then I get this weird feeling that be it Zeus, Vishnu, Jesus or whoever people believe as the director of this drama,he is having great fun at the expense of us, watching this great soap opera on Earth TV and patting himself on the back for this creation of his, and he is calm because he knows whenever he gets bored of all this humdrum, he can just pull the plug on this one and create a new show. Thankfully most of us don't feel this petite in our lives because we percieve a power of position over atleast some people, however we miss to see that we are all characters of Age Of Empires.
