Life is full of enigma. It is enigmatic because it is built with twists and turns. It is definitely anything but a simple linearity. Life can be unpredictable but yet, at the same time, it is hopeful. What is thought to be impossible could well turn out to be possible. So I think there is every reason to always feel positive about life.
I first came across the artwork "Möbius Strip II" (by M. C. Escher) in Il Mare. It is quite interesting how the movie try to give a logical reason, through a brief showing of the artwork, to explain why two persons separated by a "time gap" can eventually meet one another.
If you can follow an ant around the Möbius strip, the ant can move from the lower side of the strip to the upper side and vice versa without the need to go over the edge of the strip. Now, instead of ant, let's imagine two persons are placed at two different points of the Möbius strip. If both of them move at different speeds, they are bound to meet at some point along the strip one day. So what seems to be illogical initially, starts to make sense if one recognises that life is some sort like a Möbius strip.
Möbius strip is a mathematical enigma and so is life. While Möbius strip can explain the reel life, it is far from explaining the real life. I guess, sometimes thing in life is not meant to be explained in depth as it can get rather complicated. When that happens, it is wiser to accept thing as it is. Nonetheless, the enigma of life gives us enough reason to feel positive about it.
I must admit that it may not be easy to understand all that I have written. But that's alright, so long as you get the drift :)
