To LIVE a LIFE!

Brooding over the vagaries of life has been one of my favorite pastimes. But of late, I catch myself brooding over such topics a lot.

The way my life has been meandering over for quite some weeks now, I wonder whether am I really living a life, or am I preparing to die? There is an element of risk involved in every aspect of life, but if we remain scared of such risks, we will never be able to enjoy life. We will never be able to live a life.

I understand that death can come any time. But does that mean we remain scared of it and do not live our lives? To die, we need to live first!! Only if we live that we can die. Otherwise we stay like a dead body throughout our lifetime. We just inhale and exhale through our dead bodies. So risks have to be taken. Attitude should be positive, and we should strive towards that positive goal. Whatever we get in that pursuit - be it good or bad - is immaterial. But it does not make sense to avoid the entire pursuit just to avoid the 'bad things that we may get in that pursuit'. I do not want to restrict my life in any way. I don't want to have regrets while I am on my deathbed. I want to live. I want to live now. I want to live like a living man. I don't want to postpone 'living my life' to a later point of time.
