The sum of all days




There comes a time in one's life where you are faced with harsh realities, things as they are and not as you wish them to be. The grim facts are there in front of you in naked sunlight and the harsh glare, you can look away or close your eyes but that does not change what is, and what is not. Does one then need to take stock and stop dead? or pause and reconsider what one is doing or where one is heading, one must take a sum of all days and ponder what currents one's actions will generate, can we in all sense of the word, break away from the consequences of what we do?

I have come a long way. From the dregs of misery I have pulled up to a living world, from the nether world of confusion worse confounded I have gained some clarity if not total lucidity. Do I then live an authentic life from now on, or choose a path that runs contrary to my beliefs? Is life the name of having to 'make constant choices' and that too hard ones? or am I lucky to have the choices available in the first place?

Or are we allowed only that many chances of being truly happy and when we are given one such opportunity one must hold on and not let go? What does one do? Is the pursuit of happiness the only true goal of life and gives absolute meaning to it?

When and who can answer the questions which have no real answer at all?
