Nothing and Everything

 ** The following opinions are expressed by my deadline-fighting brain. I may or may not agree with it at the moment. I may or may not do an about turn, later **
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything in the Universe. - JOHN MUIR

Have you ever marveled at the inter-connectivity that is our life? It's like we all live in a small pond, ripples reflecting our decisions.

Everything you do has an effect on somebody's life, including yours.You chose to do nothing, and it still is important, in the whole scheme of things.  The ever changing, effervescent Universe.

There is no escape. Or is it that this scheme of things was designed to make us feel the importance of 'being'? Of self-discipline?

Right and wrong. Good and bad. But why!  All the poets, writers and narrators have not forgotten the in-between. The grey areas of life. The white lies. The useless, bitter truths. This is where lies the true test of man.

I ponder upon the myriad intricacies of being nothing and everything.

**
I have been buried in my duties as a student. Probably because this is the last semester that I have exams, submissions etc, and I got carried away trying to do a 'good' job. I now have almost a 100 worthless research papers to read, and catalog, and include in my submission. I am also prone to intense moments of disorientation where nothing I am doing makes sense, and I feel generally kind of lost. This is the first ever time this has happened to me, and I am fighting for dear life to get back on track.

Hence the disclaimer.

Be back soon.

I hate when I feel I have too many balls up-in-the-air. I hope you have something planned to celebrate when finished.

One tends to get philosophical when bogged down with work. But you have come up with some notable pondering.
And not to worry about the papers that have piled up. It will all fall in place..soon.
