My version madras lentils version 2

"what is this life, If full of care
no time to stand and stare"
I always wonder what am i really doing with life. i jumped and leaped and many many years were crossed nothing to take away but for my memories. U study..u learn and find a way to earn. Is that  all??Get married, have babies , lead a life?? I wonder where all this is taking us to ,ofcourse sickness and ultimate death go untold. What is this state of being rather existence actually for. The scholars say "realisation Of self".but is that true?? Is that the ultimate purpose of ones existence?? "knowing yourself'???? But why?? And where would that take us to??all of this is really confusing .
  But whatever it may  be, this amazing journey never stops me from wondering about yummy ,mouth watering food. "live to eat or eat to live" But enjoy what you eat !
