On Dreams and Death

Anthony Bourdain loved traveling around the world and now he chose to travel beyond the world. He chose to end his life and travels in Strasbourg, in France. Death chase everyone. And few get tired of life and chase death . Sylvia Plath wrote ' Dyeing is an art and I do it exceptionally well'.

There is a world within each of us, around us and beyond us. And life is all about traveling through these three worlds that constitute each of us. When that travel ends, life ends. And
when the harmony in the world deep within each of us gets disturbed, our life gets tired. And if we don't revitalize life, the peace within, we get tired. When there is no peace within , struggles within begin and death first begin to unfold within us. And death chases us in multiple ways to end struggles within. Life is strange and death remained the greatest leveler of life. The most unequal people die equally everywhere. It is death that is more socialistic than life. Death brings equality to all mortals who eternally seek immortality like a mirage . Life has more illusions than Death. In death everyone is equal Pyramids too could not beat death .

Life often is driven by dreams and death . Often the end of dreams is the beginning of death. Human beings are unique as they have the capacity to dream of doing something in life and live towards fulfilling their dreams before they die. Often they beat the innate fear of death by dreaming of doing something that will make the memories of their lives immortal .

Few creative genius create or do something during their lives that will outlive their lives for few years or few decades or few centuries or in case.of very few for few millennia . From Socrates , Plato , Aristotle to Shakespeare to Marx did these through creative words and ideas. Buddha, Jesus , Mohammed and many others influenced the way people thought , lived , loved and died . Lenin , Mao , Gandhi , Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela put ideas in to action in relations to identity , dignity and liberation . Newton , Darwin Einstein and scientists explored the natural world and ideas that changed the mode of our living and how the world is perceived . Freud sought the world within. Steve Jobs dreamed of putting this smart phone in to my hands and everyone on earth to change the way we communicate think and live. They all sought immortality through their dreams anx fulfilling them in during their lives.. Eventually death chased them. While very few create , most of the people pro create and give their name to the kids.
From the times of Adam and Eve, human beings sought immortality through dreams to avoid death .And everyone died.And Milan Kundera wrote Immortality to seek immortality too .

Anthony Bourdain too dreamed of traveling and he eventually got tired of travel and life and chose to end both.

Human beings are strange animals indeed . Their lives are often driven by dreams and death. If there is no death , there no life. If there is no birth , there is no death . The more we try to defy death , the more death define us. We live in paradox and with paradox . We create war and seek peace . All religions in a way started with war and seeking peace . We strive for freedom to beat the fear within . We are strange species. Human beings are animals who seeks immortality even in their grave . No one is indispensable in the eternal flow of life .
