Movement

Education is the movement from darkness to light. Allan Bloom

When I was feeling a little perplexed today, about the things that were taking place in my life. I decided to pen my thoughts on a topic, so that we can reflect upon it later someday. So it provides a Perspective to us and we can better learn about ourselves. That is when I stumbled upon the above quote by Mr. Bloom a well know philosopher.

You would think that this post is going to be a long rant about Education but I would like to surprise you today by reflecting upon Movement. Yes movement, agility, nimbleness, speed, motility, mobility, all of these words having similar meanings. So intimately this word is related when you think about it, is it can also be a synonym for Life. Everything that has Life moves. People, animals, plants, microbes, particles and even the smallest know entity to man atoms – they move.

Movement can be slow like the earth breathing, very slowly as with the seasons, as time passes, movement of its crust. We can feel it sometimes catastrophically when an earthquake happens and sometimes we don’t even know. But that does not deny the fact that it’s moving. And Movement can be as fast as a thought, gone before we can think about it. Education here refers to us. And when I say so, by us I mean by our Conscious. Our Conscious too is constantly moving. That shows that we are not dead and the darkness has not engulfed us. It is this knowledge that has given us the necessary Drive, again a synonym of Movement, to move towards light. And this educated consciousness I believe is the driving factor behind everything.

Even in life we notice that people who are highly educated are very Nimble and agile. And this education and consciousness is what keeps us moving. Inching towards the ephemeral finish line, not being able to touch it as it inches further is what keeps everyone on our toes.

Movement, it is the necessity in life - is life. We have to move to be alive. Can’t repeat and stress it enough (again, haha). If not, we are not our conscious and we will slowly become a part of the darkness. Whatever our goal might be, our Educated Consciousness and a sense of Purpose are the driving factors that push us to achieve it and fulfill our Destiny. So with this thought, I would like to point out that it is very important to be moving (again :P). Movement towards Education and Knowledge is what defines our Conscious. Movement is what distinguishes victory from defeat, sleep from death, and coming back making a full circle, darkness from light. So move, move my dear reader, towards a brighter, more educated, more knowledgeable and a more Conscious existence.

Kudos!!! Now move faster
