The Puzzle of the Mind or is the Mind a puzzle.

They say he was genius, very talented. they say he founded a company, Infogami in his teens and equal partner of social website Reddit. They say he was an internet activist who helped stop Stop Online Piracy Act - SOPA. They say he is one of the geniuses who coded RSS. But then I hear he commits suicide when they file a case against him for allegedly downloading too many free scholarly articles from JSTOR with the intent of making them available to public for free of cost. It is also said that he was suffering from chronic depression since early in his life, you may have even seen a part of his blog where he explains about his depressive moods circulating on the internet. Now this is what puzzles me, even with the long case study of his life, people say he got scared of the bullies and committed suicide.

I simply disagree. It is very clear that he committed suicide only because he was depressed. He wasn't a coward. He clearly stood up for what he believed in. All along what really kept him isolated from the life is his depression. If not for his prosecution, he would have ended his life eventually for any other reason he found fit for doing so. In the end its only his depression that sucked him in. But my main puzzle is The Mind. Even the best of the best like him couldn't map it or could not script a code for it and that is the sad part here. Don't get me wrong here, I don't in any way imply that he could not be saved from his mind whirl, everyone around would have tried their best to make him feel better. I just wish he would have given us more time to do that.

I want to dedicate this below poem to late Aaron Swartz and all those people in blues. Know that there is always hope. There are only two kinds of people, the ones who accept and the ones who fight. I know I have not reached where I want to be, but I have decided to die trying.

There are candles waiting to be lit.

If love is too bitter, add some sugar.

Its alright if the guitar is broken.

To hug some one, to kiss someone.

The best is yet to come.

You can't avoid a mistake.

To have doesn't mean to hold.

Even if happiness can end,

Pain will not last forever.

If loneliness is unbearable,

Then life will never be easy.

There's a time for laughter,

and a time for tears.

To hug someone, to kiss someone.

The best is yet to come.
