The Will to Live!

It was months back in a desolate oil production facility that I first came across Jigsaw and his antics in the acclaimed movie franchise Saw. I saw the second version of the franchise then and this week took the third version too. Well the second version was cunningly brilliant, the third part was logically excellent!! Hey whats that...both sound well similar..No folks this is not another movie review and I am not going to play a game as Mr. Jigsaw does.....but I may be lying...Read on!
The will to live...the value of life has haunted people since time immemorial. Ever seen animals ? We see how foxes outfoxes lambs and gobbles them as food..lion, tigers after prey..vultures after the dead. Well the last one is an aberration, think about the other two. Preys to a cunning terminator higher than the animal in the food cycle. Well the food cycle has to go. Herbivorous, Carnivorous....Omnivorous!! the familiar terms from the Science classes. Still the prey never exhibits the slightest emotion. Slowly, steadily the food cycle continues!
Now human beings the last but one link in the food cycle..No one above him to devours him alive except under strange circumstances, still we know after man comes the vultures ( I forgot that term..yes I remember scavengers). Yet they too feed on the dead. Again too slowly and steadily!
Why is man valuing his life so much ? Think about this. We have a man on top of the Eiffel Tower ready to jump to his gory glorified end. Looks up and ready to jump. Let's call him...Ben. I go there..
"Hello Ben. I am Tenny..How are you?"
"I am not fine..Go..Don't disturb me"
"Hey Ben I am not gonna disturb you. I know exactly what you are going to do"
"Oh yea! great...Now get the fuck outta here. Stop pissing around"
"Ben..Come on man...I will help you die. Why dont we play a game ?"
"What game ? I ain't coming for any game..Just leave me alone"
"No Ben I am not gonna leave you' I catch him by the arm, twist it and chains him, ties the key to his neck..pushes him to the rail with head out, tie the legs on to the railings, hanging him by the leg! with head viewing the awaiting glory beneath. "So Ben you want to die...Why don't you experience it and die ?" Attaching a timed explosive to his waist.."Untie yourself before a minute and try getting out, else be doomed.." Does Ben come out in time ? Lets see...
Ben was the epitome of a failed life. For him life was a complete failure. Life dint mean anything to him. With his lover leaving for greener pastures, rising debts and joblessness, life was never ever better for Ben. So ending it was the easier way out..He never bothered with the hard way! Well does he make it now with the hard way to escape....or does he cherish the hard way to die himself ? The game continues....

The hardest part in life is living it...No doubt..The easiest part is leaving it also!! That's how things work out. Jigsaw's tests wanted to change their opinions with life and as we see his protege Amanda who survives his test in the first part....turns into a cold blooded murderer and ultimately failing the test of the master in the final part. Life still have to be experienced. My grandfather used to say 'Its easier to swim in calm water than in rough waters!!'. Life is like that. We go ahead doing the hard things..Easier things bring us down no doubt..Well Ben did try the easy way out of life...But hey when given the hard option the man is yelling and crying for his life....! Why is that so ? Well that's when the will to live begins to form...Ben dint survive the game...Are you ready to play the game ?
Jigsaw din't like people who murder for the sake of it...He just tests the will of the people to live....So where is the wil to live ?
