I guess we should just try to do something about something that is happening with us, or just get-on with something that we are doing. A quote that I had read somewhere–”One should do what one likes, or, One should like what he does”. There are few things in an average human life which are just incident upon one, we can drift-off or we can warm ourselves, stay afloat with the things as mind perceives them to be, just stop questioning what is true– Just let it be, just let life seem like every breath a body takes just to be there, biological explanations apart, nobody really teaches lungs to breath, isn’t it? It is so what is so why not(gibberish!!)

Another day, i was talking to this woman– A very familiar sight of people mourning about how much less they are earning. She was a fresher in fact, I didn’t want to sound like a guy who is advising about unimportance of money just because he ain’t earning any big. So I told her something which deals with the topic in a roundabout way– “Don’t try to find mistakes in something which you’re doing, because chances are that you have ended up in something already, and like most of the “bad” things that happen to us in life, you ain’t going to get rid of them very quickly, so you either do it by just letting it be, or just get out of the thing”, I said. A cat in a glove catches no mice felt true, but I also told her that she won’t understand what I just said for just the reason that there is no reason for what I said. It just ain’t about reasons when you let yourself just be.

Just let it be doesn’t need to be The beatles, neither does it have  to be something like:

“Every now and then I’m able to break out, shout ooo hoooooooo, out and loud, clear and able to veer, I just feel free, suddenly at peace, so ecstatic inside, there are no differences, all just seems one, the Indian western classical carnatic fusion if you like it. It just touches my soul, I become one, there’s clear blue sky, white road, lush green grass on one side, brownish green on the other with trees starting right next to that grass, trees really don’t have many leaves, but they are beautiful, they are calm, they don’t move at all, but fit so wonderfully across the blue sky. The smell and touch of air, makes me feel like riding a bicycle, through the autumn grass, a small pond with beautiful clear water, wave of birds sweeping across me , nothing more needed really , just autotrophic is what I feel , I need it, dont care really, I just have it, I told you, im in that mood right now as I sit in front of the laptop, don’t really need a reason, just one of those days when reasons don’t need any reason, carpe diem baby.”

What stops us from just let it be is usually fear, lack of courage to see things on the face. It’s as if you will more ashamed of yourself when you will find out why were you ashamed in the first place. I know it ain’t that simple to establish the connection here, but that is just submittal, I feel, by a thought not so good to a thought which ain’t better either. Many a times, how to feel good requires asking the question why does one feel bad? It’s as if one has to go lengths and ask why is bad bad? Why is bad not good? Why is feeling ashamed bad? May be it might be good on some other planet, why should we just have to think about it the way we think it to be? You might come up with, Well, “this really isn’t that bad”.

If we consider Life to be a network of road which we will be walking upon, we can think of let it be as a pond or a lake besides the road on which we take to drive to office everyday. At first, we will feel the terrible smell of the lake as we take the road everyday, the smell will deter us from taking that path, but as days pass by, we get used to smell. During the course, we also take various other roads which take us to our destination, the old road as I call it, is still there, we are just liking the other routes more and increasing the traffics on other routes, that is what I had told her, in a more blunt manner of course, Whats the fun in letting it be if you won’t let me be!
