Early morning thoughts

Life isn't meaningfull if you let it go undiscovered. I personally come across situations letting me define life accordingly. when I start to step forward and explore I get an idea of what life actually is.

And encountering people from different walks of life offers me several other rooms to get their meaning of living too. We think thousands of time in life to acquire better and successful life but never realizes its uncertainty. I too desire living luxuriously but I gets disturbed when feelings of impermanence strikes my brain.

In fact I am encircled within the bonds of supportive parents, siblings and friends yet the humorous sense of being born alone and having to go alone once, seems more irritating at times.But try considering it, it's amazing fact to be noticed in our life.

Doesn't matter because as and when it overwhelms me I try not rejecting it but I always try to put extra effort to make it more meaningful. In a way I am making familiar and used to with saying prayers every now and then keeping the significance of my faith towards Buddhism. Thus to me I find meaning of life in being more spiritual than egoistic.
