“Mamma, how am I here?” The little girl asked, her eyes sparkling with innocence.
“Sweety,” said the mom, “when a man and a woman are very deep in love, a piece of the blue sky falls to the Earth and there you are!”
The most beautiful things in the world are for no reason, either because we failed to find a reason or perhaps there is no reason at all. Oh wait; or may be we don’t care enough to find one as it’s so beautiful the way it is, out of purity; unconditional- ‘no reason’!
Very often, it is said, learn from a kid. The way he shoots up his tiny lil’ hand in the class for anything and everything. The way he dusts off his shorts, each time he falls to get back on his toes in no time, running.
As an adult, even the wisest hesitate when asked. We dig into our failures deeper that we fail to realize that all that matters is to pull oneself together, again. On an average, 90% of thoughts that occur to us in a day are the same of yesterdays’. We live not, now and here. We search for a reason.
At variance, mankind would not have gotten this far with out great minds sacrifice in search of reasons. We prolonged life span, stretched dimensions of luxury but are we losing the happiness of our basic existence all along with reason coming? Was the early caveman a happier person?
I have no answer.
Only in the later years the lil’ girl found out the truth. There is neither a sky nor its shades of blue. Its just when a man and a woman have sex; as a result of a drunken evening, or a contraceptive failure and some fancy; she was born.
Tell me, which answer sounds beautiful; the much imagined blue skies or the reasoning contraception?

Oh dear! Don't tell me that you dint yell a 'wow' when you found out that the raindrops are the tiny prisms for the rainbow. You were a kid. You had a reason!
Was indeed fascinated by the beauty in 'no reason'; how such a huge spectrum of light remained hidden in no color!
Thankyou.
Reason spoils the beauty. Beauty is something that's untouched, that is as it is.
The blue sky falling to the Earth has that beauty. Your post has that beauty.
There are these feelings which all of us encounter in rare instances. Those emotions that make you look at things different than before, those, that make you feel special and sense happYness. Luckily, these days I see more of them and this is one of those beautiful ones. Thank you, very much.
