Ponder

Once in a while i start thinking about things like meaning of life, meaning of existance, reasons for doing what one does, reasons for not doing so many things and so one.. there are two ways the argument usually goes. One treats this whole thing as an offshoot of idleness, hunger, thirst, frustration etc, essentially rather than finding the answers, one might learn to ask better questions, or not to ask uneasy ones, live life rather than spending it figuring out the theory behind it..
The other side says one must find these reasons, these answers even to achieve the worldy objectives.. It's been a long winding debate and i have been postponing the final showdown , handing out tactical victories to each side once in a while.
As the joker says, both the sides are equally correct, one must find balance.. but how does one find balance and know if it's not the balance of the kind out decadent empires maintained before someone with more purpose pushed them out?
We've all got only one life, this earth has one life, unverse has one life and no matter what we do, at present, that is how it's going to be.. there are two ways of looking at it again..one which say why care, the other say we've got only one chance so we must..
personally i have never been able to decide absolutely between the two..
what i increasing realise though is how this random freedom molds the environment, which in turn often gets back to us in ways one never fathoms.. the classical balls in random brownian motion...
