Life is a paradox. The saddest truth is most of us either do not realize it, or are afraid to accept it, and so only a few live out their purpose. Longings to beat the odds and conquer life have carried humanity through its long history, though the methods have changed nowadays.
Taking a closer look, it is disturbing to note that even the basic truths are at stake. Everything ever made has a purpose of its own. While technology played its share, the fact that the difficult things are being made easily available, at the cost of the purpose, cannot be overlooked.
Every eagle has its own sky to conquer, to spread its wings soaring high-beyond the horizon, far to the apex of success. The power, the glamour, the esteem and the magnificence all go with it, as long as the eagle has the courage to lose sight of the ground. Their mere survival is a challenging trek.
And then, there are the chicks. Confined to a farm, away from harm, quacking is all that it takes to get fed on time. No fighting. No flying. No fearing. Working against Natures ways is probably the most difficult route to success, but the one most of us find easily. While the techno-farm can feed us fat on time, it certainly curbs natural genius. Why the eagles are becoming obsessed with quacking, when their world is there for the taking, still remains an enigma.
We are environed with questions. We tend to barge into all possible doors to resolve the maze of life. It is not just a philosophical assertion that WE are the answers. We forget to knock on the door of our spirit, where all keys are secured.
We somehow make time to search the entire cosmos but neglect our souls.
It is, of course a lifelong adventure, mysterious and misleading at times, yet the easiest way to conquer the world is by conquering self. Amazingly, most of us stick to the difficult path.
Nature made rules. Man made them rigid. Nature preached survival. MAN made it a struggle. When the truth of nature was manipulated, somehow the difficult ways got projected as the easier ones. Since then, most of us clung to this theory without the slightest idea of how easy and rewarding it is to pursue OUR PURPOSE. Indeed- Life is a paradox.

Are you serious when you write this ? Have you felt what you are talking about ?
For ages, eastern sages have laid down that all that man seeks is within himself. There are no rigid rules governing ideal behaviour but there guidelines for the average individual.
One thing though, advancement of man in this world will go on, and those advancements will not be made by kneeling in temples, work and scienticfic approach are indispensable. The man who ventures within his self will find all there is to know, so it is said, but the knowledge is not for publication.
"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." Matthew 7:6
Such inner discoveries are for the individual alone, and each man's quest is his own.
Do elaborate on your statement "the fact that the difficult things are being made easily available, at the cost of the purpose, cannot be overlooked. "
Don't worry about things being made easy for man. God ( Nature to the agnostic ) will provide many more troubles and challenges to face, if the present ones are conquered. Think about it and you will realise that the essence of life is the overcoming of problems.
