THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

A new Beginning
She swung around as she heard a twittering sound behind her. It was then that she saw the splendor of her surroundings. She saw the lush mossed trees which towered above this blue lagoon . The greenery was abud with life . She saw the most fascinating creatures shrouded in a multitude of colors fly across the sky; their whistles reverberating like a siren beckoning her. The strangest little creatures, with a color that matched her eyes, with four tiny limbs flew relentlessly through the air from one tree to another. She waded out of the pool leaving a terrain of drops on the dry earth. She kneeled down and scooped up the dirt in her hands. She inhaled its musky invigorating scent; its bitter taste stung her tongue. She walked up to a tree and saw a thick honey colored liquid oozing out of its bark. She saw the funny little rounded bunches hanging from a vine. She broke one off and squeezed it and giggled as purple liquid flowed onto her hand. She warily touched the tip of her tongue to the liquid; not wanting a bitter taste again. Instead she tasted the most tantalizing flavor, the sourness of which made her shiver. She felt smooth leather brush against her ankle and saw a long creature as it slithered across her toes its scaly skin a canvas of speckled greens. Its feel was leathery for the brief moment her hands contacted its skin. Right in front of her a miniscule creature, with what she figured were a thousand legs towards the sky, lay wriggling. It seemed to be in discomfort so she placed it onto her palm and watched in awe at how it its legs moved across her palm at such mindboggling speed. It tickled her palm giving rise to a giddy sensation in her stomach so she placed her hand across the ground as it wriggled off of her alien palm onto its familiar territory.
The wind carried with it a mirthful sound; sound of laughter like her own. She rose drawn towards the peculiar sound and entered the shrouded path beyond this haven. She continued walking her step as light as a feather beneath the vines which bent with apples. The barred clouds bloomed the soft dying day as she drew near to the tinkling laughter. Then from behind the mossy green shrubs she saw a similar creature she had seen in the pool of bubbles. There was a fume of poppies in the air, making her drowsy .The creatures hair, as dark as ebony, softly lifted as the wind whispered. It sat across the dewy grass humming a melody so very enchanting. It was using a contraption to squeeze the same round purple bunches she had seen earlier. She was mesmerized as she saw the purple liquid ooze slowly into a basket. Then she noticed she could see less of the creature's bare skin. It had the same mounds on its chest like she did. They were strange to touch, plush and soft and as she touched them she noticed the dark ends transforming into pointed nubbins. It was a strange sensation; the same giddiness welling up in her stomach again. Her head shot up as she saw the source of the tinkling laughter again. It was a tiny creature like her but with shorter hair. It was skipping about giggling speaking in a language she could not comprehend. It went next to the other creature and put its arms around it and both of them laughed heartily. She had never seen a site as such that made something within her chest plummet and hit the bottom. She was intrigued by the protectiveness the bigger creature showed and the mirth they shared that sank into every seed of this meadow. She wished to reveal herself but her primitive instincts guarded her every move. A primal fear enveloped her and she remained stationery. Her mind coaxed her to go forward; such joy could never harm her; but her body refused to obey. The brightness above was waning and darkness began to shroud the terrain. She watched as the two creatures receded from her vision as if being carried away by the winnowing wind. Her feet stayed rooted and she listened helplessly as the tinkling laughter of the tiny creature and the hypnotizing melody became replaced by the wailful choir of the mourning crickets and the monotonous droning of the black beetles...

Our lives are insignificant on a time scale from the beginning of time till the end…they seem significant and sometimes never ending only to us, while to someone who is observing us and can do that from the beginning till the end would think of our lives as nothing more than a split second or even less…..we can even get a feeling of this when we consider our age and realize that how did we get that old? And where did the time go?

KNOWLEDGE
There is so much detail in this world that we tend to ignore..so many little things around us..so many things happening all around us..but we only see what we want to see…we disregard whatever we want to and focus on whats important to us…we only seem to see or hear what we want to….what if we paid a little more attention to the world around us?...what if we were not that ignorant and gave other things a chance to be a part of our memories…?....what if we paid attention to little details?...is that’s what living is all about?..paying attention to whats happening around us?...we probably need to be influenced by those things to make our lives more meaning full or worth living….but what are we capable of when it comes to details?...our defence mechanisms try to defend our brain from overloading with information and capture what we seem to think is important and leave the rest….then what is knowledge?...how do u define its boundaries?....does knowing a lot of information knowledgeable or only whats important to others and to yourself??...how do you define the boundaries for knowledge??...how do you judge knowledge of a person about the world and its ways?..about the life and its mysteries?...
