The Death and The Fight For Existence: The Nadalian

Life as a syllogism is Chaotic

"I have to battle. I have, but one aim in my life - to improve in what I do. I have to try to be the best I can. But I do not have a  measurable entity or a metric that will tell me whether I am doing the best - that I am living the limit."

"I cannot, then be said to be a hypocrite, but. It is my inability. It is the way God has made me. My inability to know anything human in exact quantifiable terms and also the seeming absence of quantifiablility, or non-existence of my parameters is inherent in me and makes me human. God will forgive me. He knows."

"The only way I can go on is by adopting a procedure that will convince me that I am performing at my limit. This procedure should not leave room for doubts. I should not feel that I cheated myself at any point of time. If at all I feel it at any point of time, the procedure must allow me to redeem it."

"Yes, unfortunately I have to go by what signals my body gives me. I cannot be a judge of what I feel other than pain. No emotional factor should guide me. Emotions are subjective, immeasurable and indefinite. Emotions are lame excuses."

-------------------------------

"I have to battle. I have but one aim in my life - to overcome myself. I have to transcend the concept of the individual. I should either encompass all or I should encompass nothing."

"For, if I encompass only a part, I will depend on the rest that I do not encompass, since the part I encompass will be mortal and in need. A need is a weakness. A part of society today is not a closed group. Then if I encompass some I should encompass all."

"But if I do not encompass anything, I should not encompass my own emotions. Emotions and subjectivity are what set a man apart. They are what give rise to individuality. The only guiding factor will be rationality."

"For, rationality is universal. It is not individualistic. Two individuals, who operate based only on rationality, given the same axioms - in quality and quantity, will act always in the same manner. I will transcend even my own individual. I will be the Null Universal."

"I cannot listen to what my body says. I am not my body. Survival is not my aim. The five senses are built for the purpose of Survival. And if my senses force me to act, the actions will be reflexive and un-thought. My aim is thought and rationality. I cannot listen to what my body says."

"The axioms of the human life are built up from the process of the five senses and the unthinking brain. If I do not listen to my senses, then, I do not have axioms for a life. I do not have motives. I do not perform actions. I do not sustain."

"I am a concept. I am at best, the implementation of the concept in Human form."

-------------------------------

There is death, and then there is the exact opposite of it - the fight for existence, ironically, one in which one could be mortally injured.

The Tennis World awaits the return of it's greatest fighter - Rafael Nadal.
