Everybody lives for ideals and within ideals. What is factual about human's existence is that there is no substantial reality, progresses or regresses without ideals. Ideal, standard, norm, aspiration, and goal are sources of meaning-making, peculiar to human's lives. What it means to be death of values or norms? Aren't there many lives forms living in the mode of being, without aspiring to be? Desire of being itself creates a paradox of becoming. Becoming, either neologized as progression or regression, defines being as always already in transition. Something which is always in movement or governed by sovereignty of time can't be something. It can't be nothing as well. In that sense, every reality is real precisely in its transition. Can there be a value then which is attained? Or value is also governed by dynamics of transition? If value is already in transition just like any other fact, is there any truth in being? Except, only being is becoming? So my first proposition that many life-forms are living in the state of being mode appears to be untrue. If becoming is the only reality we have, why do we generalise everything in the name of law?

Whether these are real or merely fictitious images appearing and disappearing before the sightscreen of mind? Student: They are the images constructing my identity as a person. Teacher: Well said! What is the stuff by which these images are made of? Who is maker and what is made? Student: They ar...
