3. Roll-Over.

Have I always thought of earning and possessing stuff that lasts with me forever? Be it money, material, name, fame, respect...
Indeed, I would love to have these things with me forever... Just one of this would be good but certainly not enough. I want to have heaps of money, loads of fame, tons of respect and all this forever.

What is the definition of "Forever"?

Umm.. Forever means forever, as in till the time I am alive...

Well, why do I think about possessing these things only till I am alive?

Am I insane to ask me this question? Of course, I won't be around to enjoy these things after my death. Well, except for my name that would be scribbled in people's heart, everything is gonna vanish. I crave for my name but that too I won't be experiencing in any sense. Hence, I would like to possess these things till I am alive.

What if I can have something that I can carry forward after my death as well and yes, I can experience it after my death? Will I go for it? Shall I devaluate the other possessions for the same? Shall I stop striving hard towards making money, creating fame, earning respect and so on?

Well, yes but what is it that I can carry after my death and experience it as well? Is there anything of that sort? I believe that everything after death is just a mystery!!

Yes, it's a mystery and if it's a mystery does it mean that it doesn't exist? If I feel that it does exist, I can think of pondering over the same.

Yea, that's right mystery doesn't mean that it doesn't prevail.

Is there are point in running the whole life after the stuff that may vanish by the end of the life and Is there a point in not thinking over a life that can be invested towards finding something that I can roll-over further and once I find, there is a huge scope of investment towards the same.

1. Roar.

Once upon a time there lived a Lion in a humongous jungle that was not only muddled but also was full of animals with self-centered interests. Surprisingly, the jungle had heaps of Dogs as well. Each Dog had few or more Donkeys that would do nothing but blindly follow their master.

It was believed that the animals weren’t self-interested earlier. Before the birth of the Lion, the environment was to a greater extent equipped with harmony, peace and neatness. The progress was slow but the signs of gradual prosperity were evident.

Soon as the Dogs penetrate into the jungle, enter their intentions as well. Moreover, it was not surprising for them to inculcate their interests on the other animals as – a) They were innocent enough and b) They were shown carrots by the Dogs wherein it was imposed that with the help of Dogs the jungle can prosper in a swift manner and can gain an iconic position in the whole world.

Many animals were easily fooled and some graduated to become Donkeys as well. There was a set of animals who would not quite agree with the Dog driven fundamentals. They had 3 options – a) Leave the Jungle, b) Surrender to the Dogs and regulate themselves to become a mini Dog or a Donkey or c) Create a Dog empire of their Own and get surrounded by Donkeys.

A Lion was born and he started growing in the cluttered environment. He would not like the way the things were happening and would always worry about the heritage of the jungle. All he could do is roar at times but since he was surrounded by so many Dogs and Donkeys that their barks would curb the roar. The helpless Lion couldn’t do much about it but he never stopped roaring. However, since the Dogs and Donkeys and the other animals were increasing day by day and eventually the Roar wouldn’t matter much. He was sure that Dogs and Donkeys cannot be dealt with unless the animals target towards becoming Lion than becoming Dogs and Donkeys. He wanted few more Lions that could align with his roar and get rid of the barks. Sadly, he didn’t find one.

This happened till infinity and one day, the Lion passed away with age. The situation of the jungle is not the same, it has worsened.

Fortunately, there is another jungle and has a Lion that is alive and raring to go. Targeting towards becoming a Lion and aligning the roar or end up barking is an individual choice.
