To be or not to be

To be or not to be at times looks to be a deep philosophical question. It is a constant struggle, in many passing moments of life to try to fathom the question of how to live that moment. We carry so many images of our self inside us. And we constantly struggle to find out which self to carry at that particular moment. The various images of self, coloured with all sorts of super heroes and flesh heroes churned with our strength and weaknesses developed during time, presents us in many unique ways at many different moments of time. After the moment is gone, the way we have posed at that moment mesmerizes us. But this is just an afterthought.

We constantly struggle to figure out how to live a particular moment. I am purposefully not using the work behave as behaving is only superficial. "Living" brings the complete depth of us in that moment. Behaving is just one part of us. In hindi there is what we called man, karma and wachan, which translates to our mental thought process, our actions and dialogues. All three together decide the complete self. Our behaviour is primarily our dialogues and a part of our action, which are visible. The other part of action, which are hidden from outside and our thought process which is very private determines the complete self.

The major confusion in the self comes because of incongruity between man, wachan and karma. The peace lies in bringing complete synchronicity between three. The serenity lies there.
