I have a bad habit of being brutally honest and
practical, I call it bad habit coz 99.% of the people around me in the small
world of mine aren't upfront, honest up to my face, it may hurt, but I would
rather prefer a hurting truth than a comforting lie. Not that I don't lie I do,
as long as it will help me avoid few extra questions, which needs some
explanation about what's going on in my life and I might as well just say I am
doing well- I am fine.
Let me tell you something, we cannot and won't always be
fine, deep inside we all know it. This does not essentially mean that I am
nastily narrow and a negative person and I am not too depressed however, I have
gained a conviction to say that I have accepted success and failure with the
same smile- it took long to practice and go thru toughest times to be this, but
now I am just there having my head high very well in my hands, controlled and
having it well tamed - I don't look life from a tragic point of view it's like
i don't dramatize life, I would rather live it : what happened, what's
happening and what might happen are the sum total of consequences for the actions of my own and reactions to
others actions
A mans relationship with greed is a deeply personal
thing, let me not be biased may be I should rather say a human's.. It can be
anything for that matter career, money, some materialistic things we crave for,
we want to get our hands on , we want to own ? How many times do we actually
let out what we want ? To ourselves in the mirror- Some times it looks like a purest form of
greed, may be it is for others but if you want it, then you want it - period!
When I hit the bed at the end of the day all I would imagine
is all that good things I want to happen in my life, I am sure most of us do
that, make scenarios in our head coz it makes us feel good, to end the day with
a good thought or imagination in fact
most of us do this during all the times, coz that one thought can motivate us
to take that extra mile, to make things happen the way we want them to.
Every need when met has the end but the greed cannot
stop, the moment we get something remember, we lost it! These experiences are
expensive but they are worth it trust me they are, never ever forget the value
of people, things are always under guarantee / warranty and can be exchanged or returned but people can't. Once
you achieve something the other one drives you to slog your butt all over
again, we do find that enjoyment in working for something which we want not
something we just need. The only question : what's next ? has all the answers
of life hidden in, let's take a moment in solitude to enjoy the present what we
got and who we have beside us. The sooner you put that question to yourself the
sooner it keeps you from living in that moment.
Wanting not to want is also a want ! Wanting and not
wanting are both you. Hence that moment of wanting can never stop. The cart
will always be way before the horse, please watch your step during you run.
To sum it up : I am hungry, I can eat only as long as my
stomach is full - I would earn my meal,
I would relish it , I relax with a happy belly and I am done! If I could
get this feeling to another person- then my life has a meaning!
This was about need - greed - want - all three are
extremely essential as long as they won't cross the line :-)
