ZERO states

Assuming the average life of a person to be 65 there are 31536000 minutes in life. But not all minutes have equal importance. We spend some minutes in dejection, some in fear, some in agony, some in elation, some in confusion and some in similar other human emotions. In other words most of the times we are either positive or negative. But, what we miss out on is the state where we are neither positive nor negative. This article is about those rare moments in life of a human or, more appropriately, its about the moments where we can identify ourselves as humans and not just biologically. It is about us feeling closer to an entity within us which we rarely relate to.

We like to keep swinging like a pendulum but i think what we miss out on is that equilibrium state. Its like some pulley or a car where all the external forces on us are equally balanced. Its about those states when inner strength manifests in your action and words. Its about an instant when a boy realizes that he has turned into a man. Its about those states when you know that this is it. Its about the states when you connect with "Yourself"

We often don't realise that except of our heart and mind there is one more voice coming from within. That voice is the one which is "yours". The instances in life when you know what is your inner voice saying, the instances when you distinguish all three of them are the instances that matter. Those are the instances when life takes those crucial turns. We feel that immense strength and courage within us when we do what inner-self is saying. All the external factors like money, religion, culture, traditions, friends, family don't seem to be very important. It is the state when you realise that we need not look for happiness outside it is coming from within. There are points in life when you don't care about the result but realise that the journey or the path to the result is more important and those are the times when we connect to ourselves. Neither our emotions nor our mind guides us but everything which was vague and fuzzy starts to make sense and becomes clear.

Such instances in life make us realise that the brain they refer to is probably not just the picture that we see in biology textbooks but it is probably more than that. It is an entity which is able to identify such moments. This article is celebration of those instances when we actually act as humans, when we are not chasing after our never-ending wants but are are calm, content and composed. This article marks the importance of those moments of peace when we don't think don't react but are quiet and in unison with "ourselves". This is about realising that a number line is composed of three different areas : negative numbers, positive numbers and a ZERO. The important is not being positive but being at zero. This article is dedicated to all those moments where we identify ourselves as humans and not just biologically. It is about us feeling closer to an entity within us which we rarely relate to
