It’s easy to proclaim declarations: “I hate you” “Life is
cruel” “How can life be so cruel?” “Why am I the unfortunate one?”
Whereas we know that failures and triumphs are the two sides of the same coin.
It’s easy to give all the above dramatic declarations but
hard to take time and contemplate on them. Think for some time! When life gives
us the best of things, we never for once think, Life is Cruel! During those
happy moments, Life becomes our best buddy! But, the next day, if something bad
happens, we curse Life.
Whereas we know that failures and triumphs are the two sides of the same coin.
All the above hurtful
declarations, the anger, the wrath, which we feel, because of a stupid fight,
an unexpected failure, all boils down to our Ego, the destroyer, the taker, the
arrogant fool.
There are two sides to our personality, one side ruled by
our conscience and the other ruled by our ego. Whenever, there is a fight or a
failure, the Ego always feels defeated and craves vengeance. During a
misfortune, it’s not we who get hurt but our Ego, the sadistic dog, which then
propels us to do silly histrionics. The wars that are raging all over the world,
the fight for a piece of land, for power, for money, it’s all because of our
ego. Because he has taken my land, I have to get it back, by all means. Oh my
god, he scored more than me, I have to defeat him in the next test. You hit me,
man! I am going to hit you too! Recognize this! Well! These stupid ramblings
are Ego talking.
All that world craves now is money and power: One country
fights another for a piece of land, a son leaves his parents in an old age home
to live his own dream, the abnormal increase in the number of divorce cases,
the unnecessary estrangements. These are all indications, signs of the unfulfilled
life we all are living, a life devoid of love, friendship and warmth. When once
the companionship of a friend was important, now Ego has taken preference.
There are so many existing problems in this world. Do we really
want to add some more? I know forgiving is one of the hardest things but it’s
also one of the easiest thing. It’s all about the courage, it’s all about the
love that we had for those people who broke our heart. The truth is we still
love them. The hatred that we feel is the living evidence.
We all have love in our heart, then why aren’t we making an
effort to show that. Why do we always have to fight, to struggle for things
that are there today but may not be there tomorrow? We hardly pay attention to
the things that we have, the beautiful relationships, nature, we as an
individual. It’s time to love, to build and to make time for the things that
matters. Some things will remain with us forever, the love we have for each
other, the lasting relationship we have been gifted. These things were our
past, these things are our present, these things will be our future.
