The Octet
There I stood, on the road which I drove for the journey of life. There I stood at the same old spot again. One would not expect the same parking spots as he packs years of his life on the odometer but lately it seems that I have been going round in circles. Funny since highways aren’t supposed to do that. I wish I could call it déjà vu but it is the same down to every little detail. Coincidences occur only once but somehow miles and miles of this winding road has become a routine. Anyone who has ever travelled with me wonders how can I call anything related to this road a routine. Thing is, once you have driven so many years only a retard would miss out the resemblance of the parking spots. Maybe they were right, everything does come in eight – the octet. Atoms combine by the rule of octet and form the fundamental molecule, a byte consists of 8 bits and is the fundamental of computing, music has the musical octave which forms the fundamentals for musical notes. But should it not end when the octet is complete? That is reason for the octet; completion. Eight of electrons, eight of bits, eight of notes; all completing something. Things have purpose, purpose determines goal but once the goal is achieved, does the purpose of existence die as well? Shouldn’t the journey end if you have reached the end? Why does it loop back and restarts? This was not supposed be cyclic, but perhaps I am wrong since here I am at the same old spot again!

I wasn’t talking about the circle, I was talking of the octet.

you are not complete cuz ur not 8 yet
on the other hand yes..you are right..8 is completion..completion but not the end.see the difference?

We’re not here because we’re free. We’re here because we’re not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.
It is purpose that created us.
Purpose that connects us.
Purpose that pulls us.
That guides us.
That drives us.
It is purpose that defines us.
Purpose that binds us.
Pop quiz that one through your ‘octet’

Without purpose we dont exsist, but what if we have “completed” the purpose?
