Seeking the Best



What do we want? What do we seek? Is seeking best for yourself the only law of survival? Where does happiness come from? If everyone should seek the best then how come there are very few 'bests' available. what and who defines 'best'? Are we not advocating selfishness if we want best for ourselves? why are wants and happiness often connected the wrong way? 

what is wrong? and what is right? who defines it? Does God exist? if so, why does wrongdoers dont get reproved? if not, then what has karma to do with human fortitude? 

There are so many people around us. So many of them. At work, in the neighborhood, the guy at grocery store, the lady at laundry, the watchman, friends, people whom you merely know that they exist but you really spoken to them as yet. All of them. Out of all, a few matter, few simply dont. But the catch here is, it is not relative, in fact, it never relative. This change of equations, creates spheres of life, which sets the ball rolling for each one of us.

There is no white and black in life. It is way too simple. Universe does not like simple things. Between the white and black there are 7 million shades of grey. We all are one of them. Or many of that probably.

Life-force or chi, is definitive and constructive.  But I believe, universe does not enjoy simple happy stories or simple movies. Something extremely god seldom happens, something that tends to make you enormously happy is granted rarely to you. Universe likes sad stories. Universe likes Averages. Simple average. If you have done exceedingly well in your life, at some point, you are sure to face an impede. You will eventually get averaged out. Everyone of us gets averaged out.


So if we are to be averaged out why seek the best? Is it not better to seek average and remain average if that’s what you’ll eventually be? Why progress towards lighter shade of grey and why not towards black. Being sinful is always more fun you see. So, if you are to get averaged, if there is no God and there is no right and wrong, and if there is no karma and if there is no need to beat the best to be the best or to seek the best or to acquire the best, to be the best. Why be the best?
