:: of thoughts ::

The reads on 'Joy Diet' and 'The Happiness Hypothesis' (God knows why my reading preference has always been towards pop psychology & philosophy.. not that it made me any wiser) trigger lots of thinking to which I can safely say all those money spent on figuring out the meaning of life through all these reads were both worth it & worthless.

Freud's psychoanalysis theory on id, ego & superego, Socrates wise words on humanity and the emergence of new religious doctrines as well as ongoing researches conducted by advocates of psychology&philosophy eventually lead to the one fact that any Tom, Dick and Harry are very well aware of; the mind is indeed a divine gift of both rationality & emotionality.
And every organ, though functioning on a separate entity with a specific task to carry out, forms a committee of what constitutes an organization we call being human.

Words & language have now become the most powerful tool in every aspect of human life; They can easily make or break. The influence words have on the human minds are unimaginable; words can be an inspiration and on the other spectrum, it can trampled one's emotions. Can wisdom truly be measured by words then since we are wired to believe words are a manifestation of an introspective & reflective mind?

Gradually this kind of reads, that most cynics will bin on sight, reveal that in our constant inner struggle of questioning the what-ifs and whys, the human mind has only the capacity of accepting and reacting. It has never been programmed to understand the mechanics of how when the sperm & eggs meet, babies are formed nor can it provide reasons to why despite the different face shape&structure&complexion, no human has been created with an extra eye or ear or hands for that matter of fact.

Faith is the companion one should never lose.
It's having that trust & confidence in our Creator (regardless of your religious beliefs) that there is a reason behind every existence.
Though there's no 'one size fits all' guide for a spiritual journey to seek the reason, there's probably only one key to unlocking the meaning of life,

Simply live it. :)
