Life is like any other journey. We are able to define life as a journey through a rather abstract space: experience space or X-space. This space embodies all the possible experiences anyone can ever have while living. Of course we have physical space as its dual space.
This space can be analogously visualized as a 3-d environment on earth. There will be some parts of the journey when one will be walking through the countryside, and some parts when one will be walking through the urban cities. At any one time, one will see the immediate surroundings. Memory will keep track of the previous terrains, and there might be many instances when you see similar landscapes.
Sometimes one might be trapped in the forest, where every road seems to be the same; sometimes one might be traveling on rough roads. There will also be times when the scenery will be breathtaking. The real beauty, however, lies in the entirety of the journey: The view that one will have when one finally learns how to float and see how his different choices and paths connect beautifully. With such a view, the microscale roughness disappears, just like how a glass surface seems smooth when its rough microscopically.
How do we see the big picture?
