The paradox of duality.The duality of life.Not in terms of only being opposites.But in terms of being complementary.In terms of balancing each other.In terms of finding the good in the bad.Being wise not to dwell over the bad in the good.A separation of things, yet being so inseparable.A mixing of seemingly opposites, but staying distinct.

Photo by on 
Dear Universe,I am writing to you with a heart both heavy and light, a paradox of emotions clashing within me like errant socks in a dryer. I find myself caught in the inexorable tug-of-war between fate and free will, as if I am a hapless puppet, cavorting on the strings of a labile marionette master. You, dear Universe, are the designer and planner of this collosal stage, yet I cannot help but wonder: are we mere actors in a comedy, or do we possess the inkling of autonomy to shape our own destinies?Every morning, I become a ritualistic warrior. Tea in hand, list in other, I am convinced that this day will be the one when I finally take control of my life. However, as I get closer to truth, reality quickly tells me that fate is not a remote concept; it does exist lurking on the sidelines of my life, ready to knock off those carefully figured-out plans I mentioned earlier. Irony! I could choose to drive along some pretty country lanes to work, but who am I kidding? I'll probably get stuck in traffic again whenever and wherever it is that destiny chooses to strike. Anyway, I'm pondering fate as before this superincumbent universe projects its laughter down on an unhappy soul who has tried with all her might to control the course of life.I think of Iqbal, the venerated man who insisted that the self must awaken from its slumber and strive to transcend the chains of the mundane. Yet, dear Universe, what if I am simply a cog in a grand machine, spinning endlessly in a cycle of preordained repetition? What if every choice I make is nothing more than a rerun of a cosmic sitcom, complete with laugh tracks and predictability?And then there is Camus, that literary genius who gazed into the abyss and declared that we must imagine Sisyphus happy. Can you envision the chutzpah of that statement? To find merry in pushing the boulder up the hill, only to watch it roll back down... again! It sounds like a rather grim joke, doesn’t it? Yet, perhaps therein lies the beauty of our absurdity. In this struggle, this Sisyphean task, we uncover the essence of our humanity. We are not merely puppets or prisoners; we are comedians in a tragic play, laughing at the irony of our existence.Yet, as I traverse this winding path of thought, I stumble upon a curious contradiction. If fate indeed holds the reins, then what of the moments when I feel the thrill of making a choice? The excitement of spontaneity that courses through my veins when I dare to diverge from the scripted narrative of my life? I recall that time I decided on a whim to take a spontaneous road trip, a decision that led to an unexpected detour and a night spent sleeping under the stars. Was that a stroke of free will, or merely fate’s way of chuckling as it nudged me off my meticulously charted course?This duality of existence—where free will and fate intermingle like dancers at a ball—keeps me in a perpetual state of bewilderment. One moment, I feel empowered, as if I am sculpting my destiny with each decision. The next, I am reminded of my limitations, the constraints of circumstance tightening like a vise around my aspirations. As I watch the ebb and flow of life unfold before me, I am left pondering: am I the author of my narrative, or merely a character in someone else’s story?Dear Universe, perhaps the answer lies not in the dichotomy of fate versus free will but in the acceptance of both. In the grand scheme of things, we are players in a cosmic drama, improvising our lines as we go along. Our choices, no matter how seemingly trivial, are imbued with meaning, however fleeting. We stumble through absurdity, seeking significance in our bewildering circumstances.The unexpected left turns, the dizzying loops, and the baffling crossroads you drop in our path like breadcrumbs for some cosmic scavenger hunt... We are your confused travelers and yet, we’re complicit in this maddening voyage, threading your chaos through the needle of our own strange choices.In this fate vs free will we discover not just the struggle but the sparks of joy, the wildest dreams, and the pulse of what it means to be human.What will you do next to keep us entertained without making us question our sanity?With existential ponderings and warm regardsYour Awestruck Observer

A long time from now,

Before longI will be goneAnd so will you,And all those alive today -Like shadows cast upon the glass,

We fade, dissolve, and drift away

A long time from now,

Nothing remains of what we holdOr of all we behold in our vision,Or of all we know,The sun, the stars, the earth, the sea-

All return to dust, like the leaves at the end of autumn

Aurelius spoke of shifting sand,

Of grains that slip from tired hands-Time’s current pulls us all downstream

Where fleeting moments lose their brilliant gleam

But here we stand,

In this brief span –A flicker caught in the endless churnings

In the great streams of shadows

Photo by on 

But but but,

My dear friendsWe still stand and fight

In this little creak of light

For though we know

The tide will sweepEach mark we make, each dream we chase,Still here we stand, we wake, we weep,

We love, we fall, we leave a trace

As small as a molecule

As small as an atomA mark that will last

For at least a billion years

And though the stars

May burn away,Their light endures in cosmic streams,So too, the moments of today

May echo far in distant dreams.
