Who am I? Why am I here? Where have I come from? Where will I go? These questions go through my mind every single day. The cliché is that we all have different answers to the same questions. We are all equal in one fact: we are all different.
The word “who” defines an identity—a factor that makes us unique and dynamic, but also one that allows us to be part of a group with similar ideas, opinions, views, and attitudes.
As humans, we possess the ability to quantify, agree, and disagree with a statement, fact, or opinion. I still wonder how the glass seems half empty to me and half full to you. In retrospect, these abilities have instilled our minds with strong bonds that seem unique to our brains. They constantly change in the hope of developing into something we are certain of. But is that the truth we have been searching for all this time, or is it the truth we force ourselves to live with?
“Why” is a signal of reasoning, purpose, and cognition that suggests the motive for a particular move. It can take between a millisecond and a million years to find a purpose for a particular action. Some believe that it is pre-conceived rather than an autonomic factor. A reason differs based on the context of an incident—the circumstances that form the setting for an event so that it can be understood.
A location that we are familiar with, one that we associate with our comfort—our home, that building, flat, or room—brings us back to where we grew from making baby steps to getting to work every day. These locations change rapidly, so much that they make us forget our roots, our foundations, those physical spaces that bring an aura authentic to us as distinct individuals. The known bright light that oozed our confidence, the darkness that reflected fear—all blur when our eyes see something ineffable.
Have you ever been on a road without a map, absolutely clueless about which turn to take? One might find this a pointless exercise, but inevitably, it tests your intuition. Just imagine if you knew exactly what you were going to go through in the next few minutes—would you still want to go through it? Being oblivious to this is what makes the future such a grand temptation. We are all in search of something that we don’t know; perhaps it doesn’t even exist. The excitement and fulfillment we have for this unknown something are much better than if we knew the outcome of a chance.
