When I asked myself, "Who am I?" I realised we seldom pay attention to this fundamental question in life.
I realised I have various labels which I have acquired through my life's journey & they become my identity knowingly - unknowingly. I am an Indian, I am a son, I am student, I am a brother, I am a husband, I am a father, I am a working professional.....so on, so forth.
But is that all I am?
Peeling off these labels, to my amazement I discovered more about myself - I am an adult yet a small boy at heart who refuses to grow up, I am philosophical yet practical, I am not religious yet spiritual, I am an introvert yet like to be around people, I aspire to live a meaningful life but still trying to understand what is the true meaning of life.
It dawned upon me that, I am just a tiny spec in the grand scheme of things. 1 among 7.4 billion human beings, walking on the face of mother earth, who will eventually fade off into oblivion when their time runs out.
Yeah, this is the eureka moment of me!.........this is what I am.
A fellow human being, one among you, walking besides you in humanity's collective journey, through space & time.
Hard to comprehend what life truly is and its meaning, but an effort from self to define yourself more closer to how you are rather than who you are is a great way to realize own potential..! Good one Abhishek.
ReplyDeleteWonderful way to answer the question, how amazing it is to be a small yet significant part of the spectacle called life. Abhi I too constantly put efforts to comprehend this question and have written something about it, will update you soon :)
ReplyDeleteWow Abhishek it's always amazing to see the knowledge sharing part of yours, and these lines 'am an introvert yet like to be around by people', sometimes it's really difficult to find true meaning of who am I.
