Life in full circles

                                                                                      
*The circle of thought*

For those, like me who think a lot -- What is simple is obvious, but in our need to be different from others, we like complex things or complicating things. After a while the complexities in our mind entangle within themselves and we need to unravel them to maintain our sanity. It is then that we reach a point where we tend to move backward - from where it all started. In this reverse journey we realize the joy of simplicity. This rewarding experience of discovering that all the complexities in your mind can be solved by thinking simple thoughts is only for those, like me who take the efforts of complicating things.
 

*The circle of living*

If life is a journey, then there has to be a destination. If there is a destination then it has to be definite. If we reach that destination, the journey of life has to end. Wouldn't that mean death? If a journey ends at it's destination, does life end at death? Is death the only way that life ends or does it end even when we stop living it?
 

*The circle of optimism*

Hope is a beautiful word. We see dreams and desire things that we might not deserve. Yet we take risks and indulge in winning them. Soon we realize that failure is just as far as our threshold of giving up. This failure breaks us down, but we survive with the hope of living again. Heartbroken, we try to put back the remaining pieces together. Deep down inside we know, we will need them again someday. It is this anticipation of the unknown future that helps us conquer the past disappointment. Before we know we are back in the game. And then we see a dream again. Hope is indeed a beautiful word.
