Life as we see it...
Life is something more than an imagination or a dream. Whenever there arises a feeling, that now all the problems are solved, it asks new questions in one or another way. Life is all about changing faces, changing relationships, changing variables and changing results. Nothing is stable. Sometimes, there is unrest everywhere, sometimes, it eternal peace.
Basically we are so disturbed somewhere in our heart that just forget it! It is not enough to get something. We want everything-better than others, faster than others and more special than others. It sounds OK that we want heaven for ourselves, but we also want hell for others!
Marketing rules the life. None is ready to purchase pure gold, but everyone is after metal. The mentality of “LET GO” has died and dried up completely. And the person, who does it, is considered to be a fool, or he is ignored and sometimes such a fool is punished too!
One is not bothered that for one’s own happiness, one may be giving pain to ten others. There are even markets of relations and new equations emerge in it as if it were politics. The genuine person is expected to behave as if he were a saint and a genuine saint is expected to behave as if he were God. And, there is no reason why a wrong man should shy. “He is just like that!” may be said for him and his bad behavior is tolerated.
We sometimes try to find peace by bringing in outside layers, but we do not find peace. The reason for that is that for the whole world has been created keeping aside the basic laws of nature. Unless and until those laws are not obeyed, our efforts to find peace shall yield no results. The common people [which includes me too] must develop a WIN-WIN attitude to find peace in life.
All of us want to be happy, but at our own conditions! We want to live the life as per our definitions. And we only want to retain power to change those definitions! It’s really very amazing!
