Why am I me ???


is life just nohting than
play till the age of 5,
serious -studies till 18 :P ,
love at teenage,
job at 22's,
marriage at 25's,
struggle for money and fame(more and more) till 60's,
bother abt our kids till 80's
then death .....
then again the same cycle of birth and death...?

At this age probably philosophy starts to haunt you alot. Yeah had a conversation wid a bunch of my frns of recent , everybody nveloped by same sphere of questions.I wonder how Sophie (of Sophie's World) could handle so many questions at such a premature age!

So, what are the questions all of us are looking to ask and answer? In particular, what are your own questions? Many times we dont have questions but instead tasks that we want to finish, but dont know how to........ so what are those tasks? What are the things you think about alot?


My list for now is rather short:

1. Who and what am I? Why do I want to know this? and how can I?

2. What to do after I know myself? Change myself for better? Or not?

3. Are there any fundamental principles to live by?

I should (and probably would) spend one post on each of these questions and explain what I mean by them. Then probably you can help me from your experiences.

This, by the way, reminds me of another mini question:
Should I experience everything myself or learn from my peers' and my seniors' experiences to my benefit?
Ahh how I love my curious mind! :P
experiences ummmmmmmm
Inexperience is the mamma of creativity. If you do not have experience you try out stuff differently from whats tried, tested, and rejected.
It's this innocence of ignorance that spins new formulae from old hats.Someone i recently had discussion wid told me

"Re-examine all you have been told.
Discard what insults your soul"

I guess everyone learns different things out of an experience, so it's important to KNOW what it means to you...It may not satisfy u always either, so do keep probin- g further, and if necessary, plunge urself...

Just an opinion though:)
PS: Tell me about your 'questions' in the comments for now and any possible answers for the mini-questions

puzzled nesh 4 u :O

HERE goes ur request :P

Experience is a great teacher..and while nothing can match your own experience in helping you learn, it is very often essential to learn from others' experiences...It is futile,stupid as well as impossible, to try and do everything yourself...
But what's of utmost importance is to keep that curious mind of yours workind...I mean, even if we don't *experience* it ourself, the learning part, where we derive conclusions, inferences and lessons out of the experience, has to be done our self...
borrow the knowledge of an experience, but reserve the right to analysis, and judgement with yourself!
satisfied miss nesh ;)
