why do we live: A Call for celebration

May 5, 2008

Dear Friends,

This is my priviledge to share with you about my inquiry with myself “Why do we live?”

The space where i stand around this question is to create a deep inquiry in my life, however, i am yet to get the access to answer. Maybe there is no definite answer, however, I get different expressions around this inquiry everyday.

So, i thought to share this with you. what opens up for you. Out of this, all of us would have an opportunity to each other’s expressions and discover new innovative things about life and our living.

On this blog, it could be accessible for people from different parts of the world to share their expressions anytime.

I have written a brief about this (some expressions) which might be helpful to go little deeper into the inquiry.

Why do we live: An inquiry and call for celebration

The question ‘why do we live?’ creates a space for a deep inquiry touching the core being of we human beings. An inquiry to the whole possible purpose of our own existence, the whole being, which, we experience right now, right here.

If we were to get a pattern of the questions and answers derived out of this inquiry, possibly we could point to the various ways of our being in life. None of the ways of being could be classified as right or wrong as all are just ways of being. Inside of one way of being, the other ways of being is simply not possible as any way of being is whole and complete in itself. Each and every way of being is uniquely displayed on this planet.

Most of the time in our lifetime, we as human beings are usually not present to our own ways of being. The reason being, we are so much occupied in doing and having results. This way we live as doing and having and again doing more and having more.
We may call this phenomenon as human-doing and human-having, however, we call ourselves human-being.

This inquiry offers an opportunity to inquire about why do we live as a human-being which is beyond our existing obvious pattern of living inside the never ending cycle of human-doing and human-having.

The inquiry creates and presents a possibility of our experiences of what we experience/ want to experience as human beings.

I invite you to post your comments and expressions.

Happy Living!
