Neurolimit

The earth is round and not flat. There is something called as nature. There is a vast universe above (as if it’s somewhere in the sky). Sun is the heart of our solar system and one and only source of energy which we have. We grew up hearing such things from our elders from time to time. I was not an exception here.

Every since I have wondered about the unknown variables that are hidden in the complex environment we are in. Everything, ranging from life, our blue planet, solar system, to galaxies and conceptual universe (which we have never seen) baffles me at times with me unable to comprehend the rationale why we are here, and what if we were not here. What would have happened if say, the earth did not subsist at all? We would have not seen any life. What is it that we all would be thinking in such a setting, with no one around us? You would have not met yours parents, your family, your friends, and all other inhabitants you know so far. You can envisage a scenario in which you are looking at the earth from a distant cold space, and suddenly it vanishes into nowhere. You’ll just see some celestial bodies which will be revolving for millions and billions of years, and will continue to do so till the time another ‘probability miracle’ happens and crafts another earth like body which caters to fresh life somewhere billions of light years away. How big can the entire so called universe be? Billions of light years big? Who the hell created it? Who are we, what is matter, from where did it come. What is the perimeter? And if there is a limit, what is beyond that boundary? How many worlds we have? This is the type of mystification I go through many a times and at one stage get so scared with these unanswered questions that I stop thinking about all of this. It seems this is beyond human thinking.

This is the limit of human thinking, where all of our intelligence fails. I term it as human neurolimit.

Somewhere in this confusion I realize that with such important questions to answer, we still get time to clash among ourselves on mundane issues and complicate simple things which happen in our social lives. Life is precious, and we need to ensure we make the best use of it, since we have our own limitations on what we can do and what we can’t. No matter how much we invest in understanding the above questions, there will always be a limit for each of us individually. This is the bitter truth of life, and nature.

…but still the question that what if we were not here ponders me. Probably, the answer lies in how we used to feel when we were not born!

Think about it.
