LIFE - COLORES INFINITUM (36)
Though, there were moments when he felt lonely, but
he finds, he was never alone. He finds, he never had to look for his
individuality. It was there with him, always.
He loves to take responsibility. He loves to be
committed to the people not just in his circle of life. Yes, he is very clear
about his circle of life, but it only leads him to be responsible for every
other human being he comes across. And yes, he feels his individuality is his
best companion.
Attachments – some of them become perpetually
connected, some of them have a regular presence in your life, and some come as
experiential journeys – they all shape one’s individuality.
It is not in philosophy. It is not in written
literature. It is in you.
What literature says about individualism and
individuality is material, no second thoughts to it. Yes, but the notions and
the observations are, certainly, not absolute.
They have come, again, from different individuals
and their perspectives on life they experienced in existence in context of
their own existentialism.
The written literature and so the prevalent notions
about individualism and individuality are juxtapositions of individual
viewpoints that find connecting vibes in every generation but they cannot be generalized.
They can, at best, be supportive to your conscious about what you are; about
what ‘individual’ you want to be.
Also, not everyone goes about reading what has been
written about what needs to be done. Like always, again, it has individualized
notions for the people who can think about it consciously.
And not everyone thinks about or thinks about it
consciously.
Existing here has to be meaningful and the sense of
‘being meaningful’ comes from individual ethos. Many may discard this notion of
‘meaningfulness’. Many may not even realize about it.
Being individualist does not mean exclusivity of
existence. Exclusivity can only be maintained at the level of thoughts.
Existence needs a harmonious ‘you’ in harmony with your ‘circle of life’ where
you share your persona and thoughts. Here, you affect others, and in turn, get
affected by others. These experiential journeys don’t riddle but enhance your
individuality.
Existentialism and social amalgamation, both are,
and need to complement each other.
