MAN VS WILD

Gone are the days when kids lived a life of real luxury and pleasure, and when I mean luxury it is not the virtual luxury you get through money in today’s world,  It is the sheer joy I, as a kid got from little things that made up my world during those days. Getting up each day to the sound of temple bells and bhajjan’s around your house or to a cock’s crow. Hesitantly getting ready to school, your mom helping you with the lunch, your granny feeding you breakfast, your uncle and aunt who also lived with you getting you dressed up, and there we go off to school by walk with your granddad. Along the way to school getting to talk with your grand-dad about umpteen number of things happening in your life. Later in the evening getting back home with your granddad this time getting a stick ice or mango and munching it all the way. Back in home the same set of people waiting to greet you not just with open hands but, with an open heart. I think I was one of those luckiest kids on this planet who grew up not just with money but, with people around. Pity the kid’s in today’s world who are growing up a machine’s life.

The very day a kid celebrates its first birthday we put them in a creche or rather get them admitted I would say. The kid apparently learns obedience, ethics and dining etiquette at the age of one when all that a kid has to learn is true love, love for mankind rather than love for toys and play stations. If we feel that humanity is lost in the world, people are turning wild killing each other, the reason is we don’t teach our kids humanity when they have to learn it. Apparently what you sow you reap. When at the age of one you sow jealousy into their brain how can you expect to reap love and humanity from them at the age of twenty. 

"It is what you do in the present that will redeem your past and thereby change the future-paulo coelho"

So let the present be filled with pure love thereby you expect true humanity in future.

STANDSTILLL

Everybody has a phase in their life when they feel a standstill. It is that part during which everything seems to be happening against your wish or will however you put it. It could probably be the transition stage, a transition from being an Adolescent to a grown up, or from being young to becoming old, It could be a transition from illiterate to a literate, poor to rich, or rich to poor. From all the above examples only the last one has a backward reaction everything else is only change from worse to better or better to best. From all these transitions you always lose certain things or gain certain things, don’t keep whining about the things you lost, instead rejoice in the things you gained.

One day we feel we have everything in life because of some petty thing, and the very next day we feel end of life when we lose that same petty thing. This happens because we as humans always place importance for other lives or things rather than our own life, by this I don’t mean to say, be an egoist or a self-centered person, but live your life for your sake and not for others. You can sacrifice certain things for others but not your life.

Another reason for feeling a standstill is when we don’t get what we want or when people don’t realize who we are; by this I mean when your talent is put down or not noticed when it has to be. If people don’t realize your talents you are not the one to worry, and you are not losing anything, it is they who are losing a talented person so keep moving in life till you find the right place where you are appreciated.

Never ever change yourself for others, always be yourself because if you start changing yourself for others you have to keep doing it so often, people and relationships are dynamic in your life the only thing which is static is you and your life.

I think when we realize all the above in our life, we will never feel a stand-still phase.
