Have you been inspired watching films? Like in life changing ways? Watching Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, did awaken much more than senses for me. There is a character they have showcased who is a painter and does some fabulous work living in a serene countryside in a foreign country. Quite a fantasy stirrer, isn’t it? It can lead us to think, ‘aah this man is living life in its true simple and artistic manner.’ But the fact of painting being an art form of divinity showcased that artistic temperaments are not necessarily kind and divine; they sometimes make people devoid of humanity. What use is art if it takes us away from being human...
The tangible medium of on screen visuals of death through the bulls let loose and then surviving the 1st attempt was as close as one could get in perhaps understanding that death with hooves was on their pursuit. They chose to jump in again, in my perspective to understand the true meaning of 'Life' to live it. A lot of us perhaps live life like 1st pause...of all the three standing near the stands. We live Life in the pause, reaching the 99% making an attempt once. But few of us go beyond the 99% to realize there is a 100 that follows...and that is where Life lies and Begins...after the 100...that is where it begins.
Sometimes I also feel that one learns to live Life or understand the true meaning of it only after they have conquered the spirit of Death. Physically Death is going to be one of our destination spots...but if we conquer the spirit of Death and give it a death in our lifetime...then we have truly achieved the meaning of Living.
