Random Shapes & Questions

What makes a circle circle and a square square? What defines corners and infinity? What is definition?

These are random thoughts and unanswered questions of what -- and difficult ones at that, if I may say so. But most people believe that questions of how and why are the most difficult ones to find answers to. Dare I may to defy that? I most certainly would.

Answers to how and why are mere inklings of affirmations. Care to notice that we are already well aware of such answers even before we voice them all out. And more often than not, we only hope for such affirmations we falsely believe we are in dire need of only to define whether such answers are right or wrong. And so we fail to see past what defines right from wrong. What does then?

Morals? Quorum? Society? Us? Us.

It is not a matter of answering the questions of how and why. The answers to them are already there. We just do not want to be the lone ones to notice all the elephants in the room.

And so it leads to my question of what. What keeps us silent? What makes us look the other way? What fails us to be aware and emphatic? What?

While it is true that the answers to what lie in front of us alongside the answers to how and why, we must understand that before reason and manner, that which answer how and why, we must first identify what needs reason and action to begin with. We may be fully aware of it, but do we accept it in order not to sieze its mere existence?

Answer this and maybe, just maybe, all the answers we would ever need and want would no longer be hard to come by.

A circle would remain a circle and a square square without any need for reason because it has already been defined by our acceptance, no matter how bleak or blind such acceptance may be. They are shapes nonetheless. But apart from these facts, among others, what holds the same faith we have in such acceptance? What shapes our faiths and fates?

We may spend the rest of our lives searching for who we are; searching for who we are fated to love. It may sound preposterous but there are so many of us who fall entrapped by such connotations at one point or another, that we often fail to define what we are and what we have bcome from why we are and how we have become. Pray tell, what defies us from accepting ourselves completely? What then makes us love and respect ourselves a little more each day? What shape have we chosen to build ourselves as?

The symbolism that such shapes we choose signifies not our ideals and assumptions alone. It may define or defy what we are, what we choose to be and what we want and have become. When we find the answers to these, we then begin to define the rest of our lives that we are yet to live. And then, we find a succeeding question to defy...

What now?

See, did I not say it is much harder to answer what than how and why? It is both circle and square. We first choose corners and sides. But after we do, an infinite cycle lies ahead trampling our stance, letting us lose our ground yet again.

So, what now?
