By the time we begin to understand the day, the night of darkness is upon us. That’s how life is. Sometimes we are determined, that we plan to get things done in a certain way or rather want things to happen, and they wouldn’t. If you are lucky you might end up having better than you thought. Otherwise, I will leave you to dig into your own lives experiences and imaginations.
Facts do not exist, interpretations do. Life is merely made of a series of judgments made on insufficient data, and if we waited to run down all our doubts, it would flow past us, sad but true. Maybe that’s why they said- Life first conducts the exam and then teaches you something out of it. Learning from our own lives experiences is totally optional, but the lesson is repeated until you learn, so there no escape :)
Its better that we
dare to be naive, at least if we have the WHY of our life, We shall get along
with almost ANYHOW. The whole life would always, and always be a trial and
error with no guarantee. No one can surely say what works for you until you try
and realize what does.
I can confidently
say that free will, free-thinking has -made its way into the world, thinking
the possibilities, breaking the barriers: of what they said, how it should
be, how should you conduct yourself. But the WHY’s were always not
answered. Compared to our childhood and the kinds of today. Your
children are not your children. They are the Sons and Daughters of Life's
longing for itself. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their Souls
Dwell in the house of tomorrow, one you cannot visit, not even in your
Dreams.
How
could I not agree as - My father worked for the Government for
all 40 years of his career, he stuck to his job. Clocked-in Clocked-Out and
retired. About 3 years before he retired I started my race ( Rat- Race I can
say in literal terms). Despite my multiple attempts, I failed to make him
understand what exactly I do for a living - not that he was not educated but
definitely he was not educated during my time enough to understand what kind of
profession I was into. He had a good ride, he was happy, married had 3 kids
brought them up decently, retired from work and played his part and waiting to
check out.
Everything was and
is a pattern of life. We cannot see the Pattern because we are a part of it, by
the time you realize how it actually past, we know we have come a long way. So,
it is important to take a break, re-evaluate and set the course. Because what’s
passing is time and age. Age is not particularly an interesting subject for me,
anyone can get old, all of us did too :). All we have to do is try to live
long enough.
There is nothing
called a Peaceful Life. It’s a fallacy, don’t believe anyone who promises you
one. You are gonna continue to evolve in unforeseen ways. You are full of
complexities and wonders. Life's unpredictability will draw these. We slowly
dissolve into tomorrow’s, now is the only existence as time moves in one
direction while memories move in another. You will be told in a hundred ways, some
make sense, and few wouldn't. To
keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are.
Who you are and what you are doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself
out and I guarantee you will hear them.
By the time you want
to realize if you are happy doing what you are doing you are drawn into it so
deep, you cannot come out of it, just then responsibilities kick in, and so do
the payments. The necessity of doing it will take over and you are trapped.
Finding happiness is highly important to continue, instead of staying in the
misery. If you think your demons have caged you? In your memory and in your
obsessions they are dying to be free, but in reality, your heart is for sure
surrounded by the rib cage!
Your best
performance or your best self would eventually become your enemy, people will
relate and recognize you with those of certain benchmarks, and society and
people around you would expect you to exceed the previous one. Nobody would
begin to understand the struggle behind it, those sleepless nights, those
tiring days, and none would ask you about them, that’s how it is, that’s how
it’s going to be so. So we might as well enjoy and find our happiness in what
we do and continue to draw such happiness along the way.
Lifes does give us a
lot of things, just that we only count what we do not have ..
Peace, Love, Coffee
& Cake!
Bindu.
