A fork in the World of Soup

“He's like a man with a fork, in a world of soup.”  Noel Gallagher  humorously said this about his brother once. So for who don’t know , Noel Gallagher is the song-writer of one of my favorite bands “Oasis” ,Wonder Wall being their one of the most loved track , so Noel must have just simply said it but  it really connects deeply to me somehow

Reading the line the first thought we have is that how would a fork help drinking the soup? We already have a set norm for drinking soup, a perfect pair like this

So what would a fork do here?  Having several narrow tines on one end it is just unequipped to even aid tasting of the soup. It’s imperfections in this scenario make it USELESS.

Doesn’t this resonate with us and our Life?

 World out there metaphorically is a huge bowl of soup, where we all are trying to fit in, evolve, swim, drown (imagine a housefly in your soup) or just survive until we meet our end. And the Soup spoon ,the best norm is important to complete it like our incomplete soul's  everlasting search  of someone or something to make a whole.

Whenever we meet the “Fork” we suddenly term it just unworkable. Be it a person that doesn’t match our vibe or a situation that doesn’t seem correct. There suddenly comes an urge to curse our existence, be in self-denial, drown in misery as to why our life couldn’t be perfect like others!. But do we for a moment try to think that this imperfect, useless thing we are whining about can actually help us in one or the other way.

Maybe not today this moment, maybe not in the days, weeks, months to come. But somewhere in our journey we might just look back and say. Holding on to that thing would have been beneficial today?

Hence the forks during our soup time may seem like a pain, like certain hiccups and speed breakers we have in our normal routine, some bad experiences, a breakup from a loved one, lost contact with the childhood buddy, losing out on our dream job or just moving out from our favorite place. We might want to just stop trying throw up everything and curse our whole existence, but what we don’t realize is that having the Soup is just the start and our favorite Brownie dessert is waiting for us and this useless thing right now may help us savor the brownie’s taste the best way at the end!!!!

So don’t worry the start may seem confusing and mismatched and you might end up  alone struggling with wrong resources in hand, just don't stress over it , eventually everything will be its own purpose!!!

Enjoy each bit of it :) :)
