How absurd is it that We’re formed in a womb for nine months, And die in a second? Work for eight hours or more a day, And sleep for just a little? Build a friendship for a lifetime, Yet destroy trust in a few seconds? Love someone for years, And fall out of love in a snap? Live for seventy years or more, And die in the blink of an eye? Life is full of mysterious paradoxes That are beyond our comprehension. The more we try to understand it, The more we fail to see its beauty. Because you see, Life is not meant to be understood- It is meant to be lived.

The Mysterious Paradox
How absurd is it that We’re formed in a womb for nine months, And die in a second? Work for eight hours or more a day, And sleep for just a little? Build a friendship for a lifetime, Yet destroy trust in a few seconds? Love someone for years, And fall out of love in a snap? Live for seventy years or more, And die in the blink of an eye? Life is full of mysterious paradoxes That are beyond our comprehension. The more we try to understand it, The more we fail to see its beauty. Because you see, Life is not meant to be understood- It is meant to be lived.
