I’ll like to quote a sentence from a short biography of Rafique Ghaznavi written by Saadat Hassan Mantu. He writes: “Dekhiye mein phir faruaat mein chala gaya. Mujhe asal mein faruaat se hi muhabbat hai. Mein zindagi ko bhi aik faruee cheez samajhta hoon.”
A loose translation can be: See I started superfluous talk again. Actually I love superfluous talk. I also consider life to be a superfluous thing.
Why did I quote it here? Because I went through a process of total recall and tried to sum up things I thought about in a past few years. At the end, there was one thing for sure: There is nothing in life which is all about happiness. Everything in the world ends at a tragedy and a human being is too weak when compared to the world around him.
A percentage of people reach this conclusion. Ofcourse different people reach it at different levels. Some think on a common moral level, some think on social values, some think on a psychological level, etc. The depth depends upon the assumptions you started out with. Yes, some stupid people think they have reached this conclusion when they get what they would describe as an emotional shock.
In this post, I am talking about people who reach this conclusion based upon their original thought. An original thinker starts out with biological facts and builds his thought upon them. Yes, that person is a full-time thinker whose conclusions are not based upon emotions at all! (Though the thought process itself might be initiated by an emotional event.)
If a person lives these facts about life, he will loose the ability to cheer himself up. He will loose the ability to live as a normal person. He will loose all ambitions and all emotions. Everything in life will loose its color. So what is it which keeps you living? Its these superfluous things! You know they are bullshit, and you know you don’t need to take them seriously, so you can go ahead and give your bruised mind some rest. People like Mr. Mantu know that a human’s weakness itself gives him the ability to take life non-seriously. What do people know what Mantu really is?! He was a great person and he is to be blamed partially for me turning out to be a mal-adjusted individual. 
A person who realises these facts and live them is a depressed person in ignorant terms. The ones who choose to ignore the facts and “go back to their lives” are cowards. But the one who realises the picture completely and knows how insignificant he is, and starts taking life non-seriously, is a wise person.
A case study: A person has an emotional setback, becomes depressed and makes up his own version of the absolute reality. He also tries to commit suicide. Fortunately he survives and now must keep his spirits high artificially to make sure he keeps living. This can be called a state of being a coward. However, the person doesn’t want to forget the facts either because the very method of being in high spirits require them to stand up and face the facts. So actually they are stuck. Good thing is to realise the bigger picture and look for freedom in submission.
If someone actually read all that, then bravo dude! Give me a comment to let me know about your thoughts. 
o audiance.
