Stroke of luck you can say. It was just a small trip to a rest room when i got this thought in mind and i decided to pen i down coz it applied to me. Ill call it philosophy # 1 …

It basically states that a man has three states in his life.

State – 1 – This is the state where he has no idea what the world is all about and is still in the process of discovering what he is all about and in addition also tries to wonder what is the meaning and purpose of those around him. Once he gets a hang of things around him and a lil bit of sense of what he is …he transcends to state # 2

State-2 – Ill call it the stage of selfishness. This is where he gets a real hang of himself and does things that satisfy him. Mind it , he might think that a lot of work that hes doing is for the greater good. But essentially it is all driven by a need to satisfy his own inner being.Some people remain in this state and transcend to their abode in this very stage of life. But some go on and try to reach the third one.

 State-3- This state ill call the state of contribution. It might seem to be interlinked , intertwined whatever you call it , with the state  # 2 but its another state all together. Its the state where a person tris hard to life beyond his own self. Ive seen less of people who’ve seen this stage. People who go all out and think beyond their own self and live for others. I feel most of us human beings live and die in state # 2 . Never even put a foot in state # 3 . Although inside us we feel we’ve done enough for others and lived a part of our life for other , but the truth is , we’ve only tried to satisfy our selfish nature.

I’ve not had enough gray hair on my head or beard as yet to say which of the three stages is better w.r.t to the other. So take your pick or read some saintly , life leading books on such stuff!!
