THE MYSTERY THAT I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND

I have been struggling for the past few weeks to write,but I was fumbling for words and there was a paralysis of ideas in my brain.Hours together,i would be sitting with a blank page.Kept on thinking why is it that sometimes in life we come across a phase when we keep on pondering about something and that thought process appears never ending.It is as if u are walking through a tunnel and you donot know if at all an exit exists ! Recently,i read a book called The Empire of Knowledge by Vinay Lal.There I came across a line that made me understand why is it that we never understand why we behave the way we do sometimes,and in retrospection we find it totally illogical and naive.It was a line by Benjamin Walter,which read, "...we, the thoughtful atleast are in a perpetual state of crisis." I lay blank after reading it.Kept on reading it and then re-read it.

Life is full of contradictions,that was something i grew up learning.But i could never fathom out its underlying essence until now.What is it that we want ? Does it actually matter what we want ? Can confusions end ? Why are we always enslaved by circumstances ? If man is so powerful,why cant he break free from this labyrinth ? Confusions are like evergreen forests ! No matter which season it is they are omnipresent.Nw,i sound like i m really confused! The more we try hard to understand a thing, another front opens up, adding more to the confusion and then the battle becomes more intense.Because fighting on several fronts isnt easy.Atleast i am not so adept on that count. I know what am writing is not making any sense,considering the fact that this blog has been about making posts on realistic issues.But perhaps,what is more realistic is the necessity to address confusions.Atleast,that is what one of my very good friends say. And for the past few days thats what i have been engaging myself into.Yet...i am struggling.I would like to hear from you,one who reads this post, why is it that when you find life is within your grasp,it simply slips ??? Confusions exist,or we create them or make them appear like the statue of THE CHRIST -THE REDEEMER ??? Try and look at that statue, i m sure no one can resist its mysticism !!! And in life confusions are also like that ! It has a magnetic charm,so difficult to unshackle.May be I am lost today...But i am searching for some answers...
