As a human being, navigating through life can often feel like an intricate puzzle that is tough to understand. Each experiences a myriad of events, emotions, and challenges, with more than a crore or even a million occurrences shaping a single lifespan. The complexity of life is immense, and it can be overwhelming to grasp the full scope of what it means to exist in this world.

From the moment of birth, a human child requires significantly more time and care compared to other living beings on Earth, primarily to ensure their survival and development. It often takes around 10 to 15 years for a child to begin to understand the concept of INDIVIDUALITY, to recognise themselves as a distinct entity separate from others. This period is crucial as it lays the foundation for their identity. Following this, additional years are spent learning about the intricacies of survival in a complex social environment, which includes understanding interpersonal relationships, societal norms, and personal responsibilities.
During this formative phase, many individuals remain in a protective bubble, often provided by family or caregivers, until they reach a point where they can fend for themselves. This protective phase is not merely a safety net; it is a critical time for learning and growth. The process of discovering one’s individuality while simultaneously learning survival skills is a fundamental aspect of what it means to be human. This journey through life teaches individuals invaluable lessons every second of every day. The more one embraces their individuality, the more survival skills they acquire, leading to a deeper understanding of LIFE itself. This is the essence of existence.
In many ways, life can be likened to a mathematical subject, a fundamental discipline that a child engages with repeatedly throughout their educational journey—approximately 12 times during schooling over 15 years. Mathematics introduces concepts such as theorems, variables, and complex operations like permutations and combinations, which may initially appear daunting. However, these mathematical principles can serve as a metaphor for LIFE. Let’s explore this relationship further.
In real-life scenarios, individuals often encounter a variety of situations that can be categorised as X, Y, and Z. By employing assumptions, we can manipulate these situations mathematically—adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, or even taking square roots of the outcomes. Each operation leads to the creation of various opportunities, possibilities, and results. Thus, through this process, we derive outcomes such as xyz, illustrating that much of life is predicated on assumptions.
Life is indeed a tapestry woven with numerous situations, and humans are adept at creating logic or developing reasoning based on these assumptions. To illustrate this further, let’s consider two individuals, whom we will refer to as A and B. Through the lens of assumption, we can explore the myriad of relationships that could potentially develop between them. Countless permutations and combinations can arise from their interactions, each leading to different possibilities and outcomes. In essence, a significant portion of life is constructed on assumptions; it could be argued that life is approximately 90% assumption-based.
Therefore, it is beneficial to consider the best-case scenario and maintain a positive outlook. By fostering a mindset focused on optimistic assumptions, individuals can navigate the complexities of life with greater resilience and hope. Embracing this perspective allows for a richer, more fulfilling existence. Live long and thrive with positivity! 😊
