Burning the midnight oil

An old saying isn't it? But sometime, it is quite natural that I have to stay awake to complete a schedule and remember this phrase and smile at it. Because, there is no point in remorse since, it is part of  my life and maybe many around us . So, only option is to smile at that famous words and say "oil is meant for burning, either at midnight or day"

Life is a mystery, no matter in what ever ways we try to justify. Recently, I was watching few of BBC's nature videos about the different parts of  earth. I was amazed by the diversity and the complexity of life. Life itself is a great challenge where all living organism has only three aspects:

• Fulfilling its part in the greater food chain


• Reproduction for the continuity of life


• Raise the offspring (not mandatory in some species) till they can get their own food.

Life in all living things is confined to these three predicaments expect for humans. This is the exact point, where I don't understand the stupidity of the human intelligence.  Man improved the life, health and the overall cause of the existence of race. But, in the cycle of life, how can I justify that I am 'burning the mid night oil' for few Dollars, which do not have any meaning to complete the life cycle in earth.

What is the meaning or place of for a concept called money in the life chain. Man made it, and made the entire life cycle complex. The intellectual thinking of humans has both helped and destroyed the whole concept of living and life on earth.

• Humans are the only life that kills for fun


• Humans are the only life that resists to a part of greater food chain and already destroyed the life balance by spreading and growing like a virus.


• Humans are the only life that consumes natural resources more than the necessity to sustain life

The result is that when the life first appeared on earth and started the continuous re orientation to reach stability, the first mistake in chain happened in the form of  evolution that created man. The evolution that created man was not meant to be, not atleast in the way that, in the life span which is much shorter compared to big picture, majority to time is spend on

• learning to make money


• Working to make money


• Teaching offspring to make money


• Sharing the wealth to offspring to have a base to make money

Seriously dude, I cannot see life here :) may be I already burned too much oil.....
