'Ship of Theseus'- An allegory of The Paradox

The answer to the seemingly never-ending quest for the purpose of life, in its reality, has no purpose as such, except it has. 

Inquisitive being that Human is has always tried to pose questions for the things that were seemingly larger than himself. When he did find answers that were apparent, convenient, and limited- but not the truth, he settled. Evolution happened, as it should, so did the further quest in search of the truth, and thus, a philosophy ideated.

To make it understandable of where I am heading towards, infamous work of Plato 'The Allegory of the cave'  serves as a substantial analogy that he makes of how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all, for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners. The inmates of this place do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life. The prisoners manage to break their bonds one day and discover that their reality was not what they thought it was.

The initial beliefs were mostly the result of the outward-looking of what is already appearing as the effect, accepting the reality and confronting the beliefs by labeling it to an extraneous, larger than life force. The force, he thought must have created all the glory that he is seeing. As a result of inquisitiveness, the answers never seemed to satisfy him until he questioned himself- "where am I to come from amidst all the glory, and who am I?". As the quest began from within, inward, the revelations were that the effect must have been aided by the cause to have happened in the first place, just as the chaos rises from the order, or any dualities for that matter. However, a step ahead into the inquisition, when the dualities cease to exist, oneness is what is left with and that alone must be the answer to all the glory. And, that which pervades everything must be eternal. Any attempt to attach any label to it is a mere illusion and the only purpose of his life as a human is the realization of the ultimate truth thereby freeing himself from all the illusions.

Now, talking about 'Ship of Theseus'- the film is an adept allegory to the ancient paradox, popularly know as Theseus' paradox (also called Ship of Theseus). The inquisitions in the film are that of cause and effect, life and death, injustice and righteousness, bondage and freedom; and the answers are the revelation of the identities, freedom of choice (and consequences), acknowledgment of ignorance -  poignantly (affirmatively) trying to bend the paradox leading to the final roundoff merging to a point of oneness, just as the freed Philosopher realizing the purpose of his existence and the aftermath of the realization just holds nothing but the silence, as it were forever.

A personal note on That Antha Eli- A Kannada Short Film

When you are with your friends just about talking, while the conversation skipping from one dissociated topic to the next, have you ever observed that it's the most boring, daily life incident narrated by that one friend that gets the group hooked and NOT the most flamboyant piece of information that another friend had to say? What do you think? Good oratory skills you may say, but that's just a tiny part of the whole incident. Well, then, you may say it's the incident itself that made the narration so interesting, you may counter, but then it's a boring incident, no? Perhaps It's the culmination of both the ideas- the tool used for narration (oratory skills/screenplay) and making the banal idea into the most interesting part of the story (tell what is necessary to your friends/editing) The idea of this short film sounds too flat when read on paper. So to make it sound vibrant, we thought, after several discussions on the location that we were going to the making fi...

The wanderer

a. There must be a place that feels exactly like home, but not home. There must be a phrase that  Sums up all the feel-good emotions that I so want to banter about. There must also be the warmth that I always needed. b. Every step I put requires the strength  Of wanting. I wander. I get lost. I wander. I find. c. Every play has 3 parts to it. The beginning. Feels terrible. The interval. Realization and the urge to get closer. The end. Finding the familiarity. The more I get lost, the more I find a part within me that I barely knew existed.
