JANU: Your observations are true, to a point, but there is much more to observe. Let us begin with your arch reason for struggling to live, to so-called survive the physical life. It is to continue the process of the evolution of life in whatever way possible, the movement of life. Now, many attempts at this seem counter-productive. Reversals in a forward momentum. They are, initially, but they recover and re-emerge with a new foundation of experience, which in itself enriches life. For wisdom comes from all of these, the reversals and the new beginnings. So, temper your observations with the larger view. A Larger Life, the True Nature, allows for a larger vision.
Even though the stream, while moving, has eddies and currents, reversals, a larger view shows everything ultimately moves along, one time or another, one way or another. But the stream is the stream. It has its own direction, its own pace, its own character, its own depth, so many qualities and properties. But it is in motion, filled with elements of motion.
Life is not a sterile movement of energy, of patterns. It is diverse, filled with nuance, interactions, and results. And even they are in motion. So be at peace with all of this. Consider its endurance and tenacity to continue. Your relationship with this movement is up to you, for choice still remains in the midst of the flow. But even the choices are in motion, you see. Nothing is separate from the flow. So, what is life within life within life? And it goes on. Namaste.
