God gives us our life in the form of a random shape. Think of it like a random shaped stone. All our life, we strive to smooth out the kinks and edges in the stone. Some of us go on a completely different journey, with the goal to make the edges sharper and deadlier. But I guess, the aware ones must have always known the shape we need to become. The final goal which I think we should be striving for, is to achieve a complete sphere, the ‘SHUNYA’. I guess, that’s where the term ‘well-rounded personality’ came from. 🙂 Our stone hits and gets hit at various stages of our life, in the process, getting smoother, and sometimes making other stones smoother. The stone starts resembling a SHUNYA more and more as we progress. That’s when we step back, look at the flaws, and set out to round them. That’s where Maslow’s self-actualization theory fits in. Once we start to see a shape that resembles a SHUNYA, only then we see smaller flaws, and once they are rounded, then we set out to round the even smaller flaws.

Life isn’t a race, no, not even against yourself. It’s an experience. An experience not merely to be enjoyed, but to learn, an expand.
