Death and Life are both perfect

Death is characterized by the end of desire, the end of life, the end of movement of thought and body, whereas life is about dreams, desires, actions and corrensponding thought. i shall talk about the mental aspects and not the physical ones.

It takes the highest wisdom to realize that both are equal consituents of reality, and one cannot exist without the other. Without death, there cannot be life, because it is only when some of our dreams truly die - by either fulfilment or non-fulfilment can newer ones take seed.

Till we cling to dreams that have not been fulfilled, we will never become alive to the possibilities of more, further, even better life. So to learn to really and completely die to things that are not fulfilled is required in order to live well and to give our best to things that are possible.

The insight comes from my tremendous failures in both my professional and my romantic life which had become albatrosses around my neck. I can't say i am truly free of them completely, but dying to these, completely accepting them is the way i can progress onto greater domains, greater possibilities.
