'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.

On Learning More Than One Craft

Sometimes I think about how a photograph, a sentence, and a film cut all carry the same silence. They pause the world just enough for you to notice it. It was never just one thing for me. Video Editing, yes. But also writing. Then photography. Filmmaking. Design. And Motion graphics. They’ve all taken turns shaping how I see. They seemed separate at first, but the more I practiced them, the more they started to talk to each other. Graphic design showed me how space breathes. Photography taught me stillness - the kind that feels almost meditative, like the world holding its breath for a second. Editing gave me rhythm, the heartbeat of a story. Motion graphics showed me that even type can move like a dancer. Cinematography taught me to listen to light. And writing gave me the language to make sense of it all. It stitched together the quiet lessons of each craft, turning them into thoughts I could hold. Once you touch different disciplines, they stop behaving like isolated islands. A ...

Beauty Will Save The World- The Pursuit of Beauty & Truth.

Let’s take a flower. Any flower. Take a close look at it. You may see a pattern of well-arranged symmetrical petals. Go even further, and you will see the parts of the flower formed in a certain way. A microscopic view gets you to a whole new pattern. Going down even further would reveal a pattern of a different kind. It goes on until it is indivisible. At the macroscopic level of a flower, it seems like a simple, beautiful flower. Only on inquiry does the flower reveal the complications of its beauty. Objectively, the beauty of a flower does not mean anything, but it’s the subjective inquiry towards something, the pursual, that reveals the ultimate truth. It’s the subjective pursual of beauty, the truth of the matter, that ends up forming the objectivity of the flower- The Ultimate Truth if you will. Take the same analogy and apply it to any aspect of your life, knowingly or unknowingly it will point you to the ultimate truth. Growing up, I was in awe of those who could perform on sta...
