Morning without Sunrise?


So many things I pondered upon, yet I come no nearer the truth. Is a morning complete without a sunrise? Is an evening beautiful without a sunset? Is the night beautiful without a twinkling star?

I say no, for it is the sunrise that makes the morning, it is the sunset that completes the evening, it is the stars that give serenity to the night. Without them the rest are just void.

What is a man without a virtue, what is a person without an aim? A void. It is rightly said, “An idle mind is Devil’s workshop”, for what is mind without a question? A void.

Verily, it is the virtue that purifies the man. It is the aim that leads the person; it is the question that awakes the mind.

What is life without a quest? What is love without a feeling? What is kindness without giving? What is forgiveness without accepting? A void.

It is the quest that makes life. It is the feeling that conquers love. It is giving that shows kindness. It is the acceptance that renders forgiveness.

And I came no nearer the truth.

For the start the pic is really beautiful. Contains many things n leaves many to the imagination.

I dont abt others but i dont know wht i am doing with life.
Exploring it or living it
Or are the two interrelated.
n Questions can be dangerous too if u dont get the right answers as they just entangle you in knots

@luke, It would be quite boring if we get everything on a silver platter. What is the most seductive thing of all? Mystery. And you said truly that a complete picture is inconcievable.

@dhruv
Life is a mystery, and we live to unravel it. Isn't that just contradictory? We live to unravel life! So I would say living life is exploring life and the two are interwined together.
