Nothing is all that we need in Life.

Writing after a long time. Actually it's not that I can't write or that I am lazy, but sometimes what you want to convey is told so well by somebody else, that it makes more sense to quote them, rather than conveying it yourself.

Anyway, in the past few days I happened to realize something, which I would like to share it with you all. Don't know how true it might be? ............

"It's so easy to become something or perhaps even everything... and yet so difficult to become nothing.

So easy to become that something and get recognized, earn laurels and applauds and yet so difficult to remain aloof from the trips of all those glitters which always is not gold.

What exactly is that NOTHING then?

That NOTHING to me is NO-Thing. Not tom, not Harry, not Me, not engineer, not doctor.... That nothing is beyond any name, vocation, caste, creed, religion, sect.... Beyond everything that society associates me or you with. Only when we are nothing, can life fill its joys and blessings into us. If we have filled ourselves with our ego and pride and we are already occupied, how can Life............................. "

The essence of Life

What importance does this phrase hold in your life? Have you lived your life, the way the aforementioned phrase indicates? How many things have you dreamt of doing in your life, while you were small, and couldn't when you grew up? Have all those dreams, simply, vanished in the haze? If it has, why?

As for my understanding and experience, this idiom holds a very significant meaning in my life. I have tried my best uptil now to leave no stones unturned, so that I when the time come to depart, I can willingly hug my death, as I hugged my life.
