Nihilism?
Sometimes I could feel the futility of all our earthly pursuits especially when I visit old monuments like palaces and fortresses. Think of those wars, killings, schemings, intrigues, treacheries, back-stabbings, betrayals, conspiracies, Machiavellian manipulations, mutinies, coups d’état that would have been witnessed by those relics!
But pray tell me what is their relevance today? Or, did they make real sense even at those periods – all those machinations driven by transient, hedonic, self-deceiving, self-adulating and megolamaniac delusions of personal omnipotence and grandeur – all rendered meaningless by the passage of time.
But I feel hungry now – that is for real (no Maya about that)!!
