"You need something to hold on to."
Without something to hold on to how does someone carry on in this world? Being a social being, man can not live absolutely alone. It's the world around us that we have to live with whether we like it or not. Trying to live ignoring our surroundings leads to nowhere. The past always comes to haunt us and we constantly keep running away from it. But no one can undo the past. There's no way one can successfully get rid of it. It'll always stay there at the back of one's mind. The key is to move on.
"চরৈবেতি"
Life is about keeping on moving on. That's the whole idea of life. Human life is complex. But with love and compassion it can become somewhat worth living. Forgive and forget: a very nice saying that can lead to peace of mind, which everyone seeks out for with varying degrees of success. But how can one forget death? Probably the most important event of life (after birth that is) it can't be ignored or forgotten so easily. After death the life becomes a thing of the past. One becomes a memory. And whatever that has been done during the lifetime slowly become to fade away.
Or is it?
A life doesn't end altogether in death. Especially human lives. A man is kept alive by his deeds. But time takes its toll eventually. Everything becomes a blur if looked at for very long.
Which is what life is. A blur. Though we try to pretend we know the reason, everybody is confused. But ordinary man is capable of extraordinary things. It is the same confused man who can show kindness, forgiveness and love. Though incomprehensible, love makes people do things which are larger than life itself.
Emotions and the fact that they can express these emotions are what make humans unique among other animals.
And that's why human life is the single most precious thing is this world.
