do be do be do....
Sometimes useless musings lead to useful explanations,i believe.Recently i read this quote/phrase/line on a tee shirt. It read:
To be is to do
To do is to be
do be do be do..
As i read this i laughed, thinking of Frank Sinatra and his "doobey doobey doooo". But ever since then, its clung on to me, my mind, for a while until i understood the actual 'philosophy' behind it.Its quite true and pretty simple to understand.Its something that none of us can deny and something which none of us can escape.Its true isn't it that all of us are here for a purpose,first we find the purpose and then work towards achieving it.All of us exist to do something , even even if you argue in support of the useless and those who can do nothing, i'd say you have to 'be' useless to be able to 'do' nothing!But this is not really true of anyone of us , all of us are the unlucky souls "blessed" to be able to do something! It'd would be a huge honour for me i know, to meet someone as worthless as one can be!They're a rare species though, but if earth's lucky and we're lucky , maybe there still exists someone of that kind. Its so easy to just say "Am jobless, i have nothing to do!" But we never really find ourselves say the actual thing "Am useless, i have nothing to do!"-this is a statement true to itself.
You must have noticed why it isn't possible to interchange the lines quoted above, its as simple as simple can get. One must exist first to do, were not talking about the immortals, am talking about the mortals like you and me.You'd agree with me on that i suppose.Talking in general , when we cease to exist we automatically cease from doing, leave aside all emotional and psychological factors therefater.
"Been there, done that!"-we hear people say that as a momentary statement, maybe all the souls departed, scream aloud those exact same words,leaving aside the levels of worthiness/unworthiness in their actions.The point is they've 'be'-en and 'do'-ne it!
Sometimes somethings appear to be so hard (like shakespeare's writings) but you wake up one day only to realise that those were the most simplest things that you 'ceased' to understand . The joy of realisation is beyond everything, it is the only most frightening thing that one can rejoice at.Live everyday like there will be no other day as today, as tomorrow, as ever!
