Life.. how should we look at it? - part 3

but getting back to life.. why don't we people worry about the problems that our earth faces.. the major one being global warming.. If i was allowed to choose my career.. i would have preferred to end up in Iceland, measuring the thickness of the ice sheets and help predict the effects of global warming.. There are people who do that.. and they are the people who do justice to life..! People think that the whole point of this universe is "US"..we don't think about anything else! all we are bothered about is what is going to happen to us..! The world is crazy!.. Someone told me.. "we are nothing but a bunch of apes sitting our pretty asses on a lonely planet doing nothing!" We humans think that there is no greater race.. and that we have absolute control over everything..! But the reality.. is that our lives are hopeless..! Because you never know whats gonna happen..! Our lives are influenced by forces greater than anything you can ever imagine!
If you haven't read this book.. please do read it.. "A Brief History of Time".. by Stephen Hawking..
well.. the way he deals with things.. its just magnificent.. after you read this book.. u will understand what the world is all about.. but yea.. don't me wrong.. its not a book about philosophies..! Its about science..! He takes us through a journey into time and space.. He makes us wonder how time started.. will it at any point of time go backward..? Will we know about the future before we know about our past..? Well.. Please do read it..! Its a compilation of great theories by a great mind..! A legend..!
When you read this book.. you realize loads of things.. It all starts looking crazy..! Our life in this planet.. we study.. we earn.. go to office.. buy a house.. we buy a car.. we work.. get back home.. go out on a holiday.. is this life? Its so stupid.. this life that we lead..! Its got no real meaning..! There have been very few people in this world who have justified their reason to live.. and it was all because they had this thirst for achieving things in life..!
That infuses great names into our mind... Newton.. Einstein.. Hawking.. DaVinci.. and the likes..!
Well.. another thing i've realized now is that i've been crapping at it for nearly an hour now..! Have to catch up with sleep..!!
