True Reason for living

True reason for living.

We live in century commonly known as "an age of feeling' where pesky pessimism and utter confusion dominate the different facets of life. All looks for TRUEREASON for living. As poet said "our hearts are but muffled drums..beating funeral march to grave" Some lost the art of sound reasoning and a logical thinking...whereas some move without having a True philosophy of life. Frutration and Confusion creeps in all level. Robert Ingersol one of the Athiest expressed this confusion and pain in one of his famous eulogy

" Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of twoeternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cryaloud, and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From thevoiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word; but inthe night of death hope sees a star and listening love can hear therustle of a wind."

For him the death of his brother was a shock that provoked him to look "beyond the heights" though he hope for a shining star he was not able to sense it.... as it is in the case of many athiest.

Life is always a mystry the first step for a perfect living is to accept that Life is a Gift from Life.

This is where TRUE REASON comes in to picture.

Lord Byron summed up his desperate life in a brief poem

"My days are in the yellow leaf,

The flowers and fruits of love are gone,

The worn,the canker and the grief

Are mine alone"

T S Elliot portrayed the life without God and meaning in a beautiful stanza

" Where is the life we have lost in living?

Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?

Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries

Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust"

Even the Voltaire was desperate in the end " The book of fate is close to us. Man is a stranger to his own research.....a mockery of fate"

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of the founders of the Romantic movement in literature lamented " Tomorrow my birthday,31 years of age-O me! My very heart dies..... my own mind so populous, so active, so full of noble schemes, so capable of realizing them.... O wherefore, am I not happy?"

Nitche said "doubts devours me..... I lost"

This pesky pessimistic thinkers not able to provide a True reason for living.

Restore the real sanity of thinking and life this will only possible the moment we humble ourselves and start to live one second at a time. Life is so precious Fulton sheen says God deal with it second by second" Once the silly seconds skip from your finger tips we cannot take it back it will be remain as we used it. So Are we using our talents, skills and abilities to the purpose of rediscovering the meaning of life? Or we use it for the sake of the vanities that kills at?

We are moving towards a define goal..and life is worth living if we find the TRUE REASON for living which is nothing but GOD.
