The Ultimate Philosophy.

I am writing about sorrow as a door to the discovery of our ultimate philosophy.Philosophic leanings are not something to be wondered at or thought of as fit for old age people with nothing to hold on to.I see unexpectedly many youngsters who have come face to face with the question' what is the meaning of life'?Most of them come to it after experiencing what youthful exuberance gave them and enjoyed it,be it a love affair or climbing the career ladder outwitting many peers.

But after reaching where they want to be,looking back they found that they were not as happy as they expected before the affair was enjoyed or the career prospects reached.So the question loomed in front of them,why?

To someone who had easy access to money as a means of happiness,when the person for whom that money was being made,for example a son,when that son was no more,the idea of that money was lost as means of happiness.This was a householder who had climbed the social ladder the hard way,saving and making a huge balance in a bank account.This father never enjoyed his life.He was always conserving it for his son.

Then the question comes up,whether it was wrong not to enjoy life?Or should one have enjoyed life?

I think none can give an answer.What should have been our ultimate philosophy in life?Perhaps this randomness about life and its end is what makes the philosopher so silent when explicit questions are asked.For one answer can be done with another question.That is why it is ideal in philosophy for one to be silent.Silence as the language of the Gods.

Here the concept about what is God comes up.To many God is that power which they face when answers are unknown.Accepting that such a power exists is a relief to many.For doubting the existence of this power leads to more search.Accepting God's existence at least makes one end of the problem of the question of meaning of life a little easier to deal with.God and the merging with God as the painless solution to the problems of existence ,is ideal.Here search has one end.

So thinking along these lines we come to the fact that pain is what life has offered to mankind so far.And it takes so much experience sometimes sudden and at times after slow and steady moving ahead in life and looking back makes one aware of.So pain is so much and of such grievous nature that man just wants to lie down and call God to help him out of that.One goes to the fetal position,curling inside the dark,warmth of the womb of this life.

So life is nothing but pain and so one wants to come out of this.The ultimate philosophy says that accept this pain and observe this pain and be with it and one day you will come out and see that you are out of it.
