LIFE, EXISTENCE AND MORE...


13.7 Billion years old and still a little child. That's the time scale at which the grandeur of this universe is displayed. Despite this knowledge we intend to seek the answer to the ultimate question of "our existence" in a period of mere 400 yrs. Philosopher's and Scholars have spent their lives in search of this holy grail. Methodologies like religion and science have come into existence as a result of this quest, but even these detailed methods have not achieved anything substantial. But in the past few decades a whole new line of thinkers have come up. A set of unique people who can think out of the box, the one's who believe in seeking such answers by mere experience rather than divine intervention and searching within oneself rather than the cosmos. These so called "Rebels" have realized the plight of the human race and here I try to summarize some of their thoughts about our existence.

We exist in something called the Tower of Life, which is a complex network of all the things, animate or inanimate, in this universe. Each thing forms a really tiny part of this tower. In our present state we can never comprehend our position in this tower. It's because we are a part of this tower and thus can't see the structure as a whole. We can't tell how important or useless we are. We might be holding a lot of pieces together in this tower or maybe there is no piece in this entire tower dependent on us. But for sure there is no single piece on which this tower is build. Even if one of the basic pieces is removed the others hold the tower up. The Tower of Life is an elaborate masterpiece where the importance of each of its components is known only after it is removed...
