Reasons, Answers and Everything In Between
My teachers used to say, ‘Ask questions when you have doubts’. I never asked questions, I just listened. My teachers assumed I am a good learner and people said I am a good listener. However, the two didn’t fit together. My questions surpassed explanations and I had to make a choice. I could either be a learner and keep my questions limited or I could be a listener and question everything that exists under the sun.
I chose to be a listener, an observer or just a thinker. I pondered and I pondered only to question some definitions.

DEFINITIONS
FOCUS: ‘Focus’, they say when you get distracted.
But focus on what? Maybe, focusing on something else makes it just another distraction. What if the focus was nothing but the right kind of distraction?
PAIN: I wonder if it’s the same with the pain. Do we really heal or do we just get accustomed to a new pain?
What if the pain is nothing but a defense mechanism against permanence? Maybe we tend to get hurt just when it’s time to leave and that’s why I guess they say, ‘move on’.

PROBLEM & SOLUTION: What if there’s no solution for anything? What if there’s nothing like problem?
What if our problems are just circumstances that we want to change, the paths that we don’t want to travel. What if something we classify as solution and problem are, in fact, just two different paths of the same scenario?
What if we named something as a solution just to convince ourselves of our choices?
What if someone’s solution will look like a problem to someone else?
We are transient beings, we move from one place to another in life.
What if all such concepts such as problem and solution, pain and healing were invented to justify our transient nature?
We just defined something as a ‘problem’ to just move to a place called ‘solution’.

I guess, there are no answers to any of the questions above. Nor are there are any right or wrong decisions. We make reasons for our decisions and our reasons are pretty much all our answers.
