Totally random rambling...

From where...to where...and why?
What I beheld is no longer me. What I behold shall cease to be me.
But still I strive to define with those ephemeral definitions.

The cliche is all that remains: Nothing but change is constant.

Finding neverland??? A distant spark...is that the beacon of Truth?

Is it all an illusion? What do I want from anywhere?
Are dreams the present...Does awakening come only at sleep?

An animal this moment...Human the next? Will the transcending happen?

The "silent" time shall answer.

'Ignorance is bliss'.

Rams, Eventhough i empathize the feelings expressed in this post, i don't have the conviction nor the temerity to chalenge what naresh has written. :-(

How does the sentence evolve into a cliche resisting change?
'Nothing but change is constant.'

How good is it to 'hope' for some answer?

Had you been brain-dead would it be a bliss?

@Naresh: If you were told that you'll die within the next 30 days, then that wud be hell...In that case "ignorance is bliss"...But what if u r really really thirsty on a parched desert and that there was an oasis that was ever elusive to you and that only the non-ignorant can find it. Is ignorance still a bliss in this context? Not really...

@PrasannaSrini: I didn't get ur cliche-statement. What I meant to say was that the statement "Nothing but change is constant" is a cliche: very often used.
"Hope" is what I operate on...To find answers.
Brain-dead is a curse...That's no remedy. These fundamental questions need to get answered and defaulting is in no way victory. You may never play the game and still claim never-lost but that isn't the game about.

I shd have been more clear. What I meant was, though stupid, why isn't the statement 'Nothing but change is constant' hasn't changed and has became a cliche?

Why do you want to play the game if that is not going to be of any use? Isn't it prudential to not play a game if that has 0 value add? In the long run, we are all dead. Isn't it?

The clich part of the discussion is totally uninteresting and I'm dropping it.

Who said it's of no use? There's a purpose to one's life and that purpose is no way restricted by birth and death. Birth and death are simply recurring states. May be I'm too abstruse, but once you understand the gameplan, you'll be in the state I am in.

This is your hypothesis that hasn't been proved (yet). You can't cite that for an argument.
Better luck next time!
