The One

Ever wondered what would it be like to be able to see your alternative self in a distant past or future. I personally believe there are two ways of looking at life. You could either look at things as though they were pre-determined in the first place, like everything was destined and a part of a master game plan. In other words to look at life as a tapestry of events which are meant to be uncovered in a particular fashion. Or you could look at life as a parellel universe where things happen based on the choices you make and there always exists an alternate self who chose the other way round. For instance there is a 'ME' who is blogging at the moment and there is an alternate 'ME' sleeping at the very instance of after a long day at work.

It's interesting or rather discerning to know that the fundamental idea of Quantum Mechanics is based on the theory of a Parallel Universe which I just put forth across. If you are a Science or an Engineering student who has tried out the 'Newton Rings' experiment in your Physics lab, you've actually witnessed the proof of this. In this experiment we actually pass light from a coherent source through a fringe and we observe alternate bands of light on the target screen. I happened to read this in an article in a novel(Timeline by Michael Crichton) and was awestuck at the magnitude of this theory.

And well after juxtaposing both the theories I believe the profound truth lies in living life as it comes, and live in the present moment and cherish it righteously.
