Welcome to my new blog, let’s get started with the first post, which is about the question which has no answer, or perhaps which has zillions of answers, I don’t know whether I’m trying to find an answer to it or I’m trying to question everything, but this question is something that every one of us has passed by or going to pass through as our intellect grows at least at some point of our lives, without getting into any of the boring stuff let’s dive straight into the question in hand.

Let me begin this by quoting the words of one of the famous French philosophers.

“I Think Therefore I Am”.

Now, how meaningful you find these words depends on how intellectually enlightened you are. But remember these words till the end, maybe everything that you felt obscure till this day will be crystal clear to you, or maybe your brain will be baffled.

A Quick Recap.

You get birth, you see a few bodies with flesh, bone, and blood which has life in them(whatever that shit is) and who’ve called themselves Homo Sapiens roaming around you speaking something gibberish which doesn’t make sense at all, then, a few days passes by, you still see the same people around you, you slowly try to recognize their faces, you try to find patterns in the sound coming out of their mouths, you try to mumble a few words, feels like it isn’t so hard, you try to understand every sound pattern and the things that they are associated with. Now, after 4–5 years you are fully capable of making sentences and speak. But the more important thing is now you can think with not only pictures but also with words.

You have no clue…..

Now you are capable of asking what you want and what you don’t, you can understand what’s going on around you and then you start growing up. Then they’ll put you in school and as time goes you slowly start developing your thought process, you have a crazy brain now it starts questioning everything around you, Maybe you’ll get answers to those questions, maybe you won’t, but slowly you’ll stop questioning things, you’ll accept things as they are. But, what’s the fun in that, right? Now, at some point in time your brain tosses a question at you that can change the very course of your life, it’s a very simple question, all it asks is “Who the fuck Am I?”. And, you think it’s a simple question, you try to answer but that rings a bell to one more question and then you try to answer that, but that fetches you one more question, within no time you are in a train of questions in a circular track with answers to none of them. And then you realize you have no fucking clue of who you are.

After that, someone tells you that life is short make it sweet, you agree, you try to enjoy life as much as you can. I mean what’s the point in finding the answer to something you don’t understand, right? Few days pass by maybe you’ll love your life or maybe you’ll fall into depression but in either extreme case one thing just crawls its way back to you, “Who Am I? “. Again, you’ll try to suppress it or maybe you’ll try finding the actual answer this time. But for all you know, there is no simple answer to this. In other words, you have no fucking clue again.

This is it for this part. If you’ve liked it consider donating $100000000000 or more. See you in the next part which will be available to read-only to the ones who’ve donated the above amount.

Thank you.
