Life is an excuse for death

This is a hypothesis that I thought of some years ago. Now it may sound overtly pessimistic, but I find it true.

We all are waiting for the ultimate truth. In normal circumstance, all of us are in queue as per our ages. Our lifetimes are actually waitng times. Our schools tell us what all is available on life's menu to kill time. We look at others to find what they have chosen to get maximum enjoyment. We follow them. Some of us are happy, most of us aren't. The former types are either the ones who are fully enjoying their time or the ones who are happy to find something to occupy time. The latter types are either the ones who aren't happy with whatever they have to kill time or the ones who don't have anything to kill time. Anyone can be in any category at any time depending upon who in the queue do you choose to follow (identify with).

Any takers?? Or should I find solace in these lines by Ghalib:
"Bak raha hoon junoon mein kya, kya kucch,
kucch na samjhe khuda kare koi"

Mere ghar ke aangan ke sookhe patte...

Yeh sookhe patte jo ab in paththaron pe khamosh pade hain
jo kucch roz pehle hi lehraaye the hawaaon mein
jo un darakhton pe lade the hariyaali ke saayon mein


Mausam badalte hi darakhton ne unhe ukhaad phenka
palat-ti hui hawaaon ne unhe dhamm se patak diya
sadiyon se bejaan paththaron ne unhe sula liya!

Mere pehle filmi bol...

Khwahishon ka bhanwar hai
manzilein saamne hain
raah par hain kadam bhi
honge kya kamyaab
Khwahishon ka bhanwar hai....

Kal nahi tha jo mumkin
kal bhi asaan nahi
hai yakeen aaj khud par
kal bhi hoga yakeen
ummeed se hai hausla
ummeed hi hai junoon
khwahishon ka bhanwar hai....

Ab kisi ka nahi darr
mushkilein hain magar
manzilon se bhi badhkar
hai zaroori safar
mushil hai kya, manzil hai kya
hai ab safar humsafar
khwahishon ka bhanwar hai...

Khwahishon ka bhanwar hai
manzilein saamne hain
raah par hain kadam bhi
honge hum kamyaab
