This is my state of logical philosophy...

War changes perspective, you have to be in one to understand or even to comment on it. The impression it leaves will last a lifetime. Though we always talk of the futility of war, it is and has always been a necessary evil. Ever since civilization, there have been warring nations, even if there were many causes for it, there has always been one common interest, that of land and the resources it has to offer. In the earlier days, farm lands acquired were a great bonus, cattle, people and gold were in focus. Todays currency is black.
Man has always been dissatisfied with what is in his hand, it is but a natural instinct based on territory and the sense of ownership. The purchasing of land is an extension of the same.
A fair share of thoughts on different lines rush to be written but I’ll hold back most of them for now. I keep hearing people talk of balance of late, work- life balance, inflation & employment, even eating a balanced meal. All aspects have both something favourable and something that is not. Yet they both need to exist for that balance. Does that mean we will always have clashes or wars? I know I sound a little off but when you really think about it, it is as required as peace. Ever since one can remember, we have always had fighting, wars and battles; we have studied them in history, some of us have been in one or two. There always seems to be a requirement for it.
At one particular stage in life, when you’ve seen too much, gone through too much and have felt too much, then you start rationalizing. You accept everything not because it is what it is but because you see the big enough picture to understand it. As time goes by you start to sink into the agony of realizing that everything has a reason and you actually understand that reason. This can possibly be the lowest time in your life and yet you understand that this after all had to happen. It becomes a vicious circle and you accept it for you start to understand too much.
Even though a lot if not all would tend to disagree with me on this, life really isn’t there to be understood. We should not try to understand or rationalize everything, it very simply put kicks the fun out of life. It is not a race to perfection, I find people with imperfections attractive, a smile is not perfect with a perfect set of teeth. I see everyone around me wanting to grow up, gain independence, live life by themselves on their own terms, stand up on their own feet. It is wonderful and perfectly fine, even I want to do it but somewhere in between all this, we tend to confuse ourselves. We tend to start believing and then actually believing that some characteristics are not meant to be for grown ups or for that image that I want to be or become. I know this is exactly where I’m going to start losing all those reading so I’ll end this with something I really believe in. Learn with your mind but don’t lose the art of learning with your heart, it is the essence of what we are really searching for.
