'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.

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.

Goya

Just the other day while standing under an abandoned building similar to my heart, when it was raining cats and dogs, a man ran towards the building seeking for shelter. As apparent it was, he was all drenched. Striking a conversation was never so easy with a complete stranger, until it down poured heavily. Because everyone does look for shelter just like seeking for their souls out of life and have got nothing but share stories. The particular story of the man standing right across me left me dumbstruck. You see, relatable stories. Crazy as it sounds, but the fact is stories are never unique, just the souls dealing with it are. In the end, we're all just mundane stories narrated with different lives. As simple as that.

Aadhar Card & Evolution- An Observation On Complex Systems

A couple of days back I was at an Aadhar Card Centre to get my details updated. While I was waiting for my turn, I was just observing the surroundings and just about so, I went into the rabbit hole of thinking about how the Aadhar Card as an idea must have originated. It must have started with a purpose that every citizen of India must have a unique number through which the person is identified. Sounds simple, right? While the idea is simple at its core, when implemented at scale it becomes extremely complicated- a complex system, if you will. Let me go down the rabbit hole even further and I will do that by making a conjecture, the conjecture being, that any Primitive Idea when it is scaled at large becomes a very complex system. And moreover, the same pattern can be observed everywhere, right from the formation of cities from an evolutionary biological standpoint to the present-day human behavior in society and whatnot! Let me explain what I mean. To implement the idea of assigning
