LIFE AND CREATIVITY    PART 1 ESSAY

Prakash Thapa

 

Most of us want to live our life creatively but we cannot do so because we have lots of problems in life, problems of love, associations, relationship and conflict which bring misery in life and we fail to live happily.

We do not actually know how it happens: why are we trapped in miseries, why aren't we able to live totally? We know theories which tell us the ways to live happily but living moment to moment is different to reading the theories in particular.

If we are able to observe everything very carefully that happens around us and that comes across in life then we will be able to understand the nature of things and events and possibly get rid of the problems that surround us.

Because we live dividedly and live in fragments for we cannot understand the totality of existence, the totality of being because we divide things to fragments, divide the wholeness of existence into smaller entities so that we cannot understand truth and realities in actuality.

For instance we do something for a while and immediately we shift our activity to something else and it goes on and on so that we cannot fix our attention to something else watchfully, and how can we really observe the nature of things in actuality?

This very process of life is a kind of slip from reality, a kind of deviation from truth and realities so that we do not know how things move in particular and also we do not know the movement of life as well.

Because life is a movement and it moves moment to moment, it is never at rest, it goes on changing moment to moment so how can we live in fixation, how can we live stationary relative to space-time?
