What is it about life that makes it so complicated? I'm starting to believe it is the human mind which makes it that way because the network of neurons in the brain are not just that; they are the ones which seem to make the mind a maze. And, I'm one of those slow ones (or should I say unlucky ones?) for whom finding the way out of the maze seems to be a Herculean task.
I am constantly endeavoring to find the purpose of my life. However, at times, this endeavor is crushed by deep depression because I'm not able to balance it out with life's everyday pressures. I'm at a juncture in life from where I cannot see a road ahead, let alone making a choice of taking one. Future seems bleak. I don't seem to figure out what I want to do with life or how I want to live it. However, hope doesn't seem to fade. I'm expecting to wake up one fine day and see the road ahead which I am supposed to take and then the road turning for a better tomorrow. I am not sure if this way of thinking is my undoing, but not clinging to this hope, I feel, is suicidal.
I believe that such conflicting feelings are the ones that make up the essence of life; the darkness of the lack of direction and the light of hope that struggles to balance it out. Guess that is what the Chinese yin-yang theory of life portrays!

Funny that within the question lies the answer, understand life is mixed and you CANNOT foresee what you will meet when... So live in the current moment..The very understanding that its a maze itself is clarity...and in that clarity watch what moments unfurl to you..- Baskar
