Life becomes interesting and spicy when future becomes unpredictable. When we do not know what is to happen to the next seconds of our life, our life has certain flavor that makes our stay on the earth spicy. What makes one’s daily routine very exciting is the unpredictable events and circumstance that visit one’s life than any other thing, which many call, surprising events and aspects of life.
If there is no surprise in one’s life, life becomes boring and routine. Most people attribute surprise as gifts they receive from many other friends they like. But, life have many surprising events to offer us, it is matter of revealing and realizing such aspects and phenomenon of life. We live in world where our way of life is attributed on what and how we think in which in many of our circumstance and situations we face in life. Many things are connected with our belief values and systems and we tend to neglect various matters that go beyond our imaginations and conception. Thus we narrow the wide subjects and matters in here.
It was in place where I used to live in which there was a beautiful lake on the side of it. Many people go there and have their own recreation in their own fashion. One day, as I was watching across the lake, the lake has an end, meaning one could see the end of the water side in which there was trees and other hings one could see at distant. The end can be seen from being on the other side of it. This lake was not that interesting than the lake I had seen before it in a different place since the view is different and the sky and the end of the water looks integrated. No end is in here, and creates certain conceptual image and imagination to one’s thinking. This view and scenario of the lake is pretty nice and very great.
When end is known ahead of time and identified at the beginning, life is not that great and does not look quite interesting since the end is already known and identified and there is no purpose of living and staying in the middle except waiting for the end. What is quite interesting in here is that even if the end is known, the processes of the end are quite fascinating aspects of life. This could lead us to conclusion that can we stop living since we know we are dying at some point? That is not the case in here. The point in here is not about such aspect and matter but those aspects that could create certain buzz to our life.
Further elucidating this matter, it is like when you go to the soccer stadium, and when two teams play, it is quite predictable in here that one team loses or wins, or both draw equal. If the result of this match is known at the beginning at every time, foot ball or soccer game would not be an industry by this time and will not be one of the fascinating fields and greatest entertainments in the history of this world. Thus it is nice that such things are not known ahead of time.
There are certain things that should be known at the beginning but guess and speculations could be there. In this case, speculations become part of the suspense drama and we like such prediction and consider them something that add certain flavor to such arena of life. And thus the desire to know the future becomes part of the game and drama in such aspects of life than consider them as being legitimate and truthful aspects and fields which people should open office, which could be tantamount to a stupid drama.
If a given person knows where the 7 billion people could end up, how, what, where and the like, life becomes very boring and quite scary since there is no purpose and intention for such people to exist as human beings who are created with free will and choices. This put everyone under control and under the will of a person. There is no purpose and point to have these billion numbers of people when their fate is in the hand of a person.
There is one thing which is agreeable in here in which there are certain patterns and trends people follow and take as result of lifestyles and way of life they choose in life, and such patterns of life indicate certain end results in the past which could be true to the present and the future too. This is even not holistic since no two given individuals can be the same and exact in many things in following and practicing ways of life. There is always certain deviations and variations due to individuality and personality factor.
For instance in my case, the things I do in here when I sued to follow certain religion and when I stop following that given religion, there is a shift in place and certain characters to replace what I used to do in which I changed place where I used to spend my time outside the working place, and I also replace certain activities which I used to do. Change of places in here are cinema places, going to soccer stadium, watching soccer games regularly, and having glasses of beer occasionally, reading other thinkers book, and the like. I stopped going to that religious place and hanging out with those likeminded people and reading their books and making their prayers too and stopped thinking in the way they think and cancelled my belief system and thinking machinery regarding the way I used to do .
When I overview the processes of life as I had seen it from such perspective, when I used to practice certain religious way of life, I was somehow narrow minded and I have many boundaries and limits and dos and do not dos in which they create perilous stress in my thinking and observation of the world. Now, I have a better grasp in understanding and observing life, people, activities and events with better understanding and perspective in which I try to be open, fair, not biased and not linked to certain group or perspective.
It is possible to say in here that future is something that can be created out of past and present, in which choices and efforts individual makes and opportunities the external environment provides matter than being foretold and prophesized by others since free will is the major factor in here.
