There's a LIVE timebomb ticking within all of us. Isn't it slightly infuriating to be at the helm of such anxiety and nervousness? A number of things that could make us miserable, change our cheery demeanour to a sullen state of chaos, unable to comprehend the workings of this complicated system. We are all beings in a fixed mechanism of state and individual power. We are controlled by forces we live with daily. They include our people from our families, workspace, acquainting life sphere. The set of rules bogs me down each time I look at a detached view of this being. Since I am alive in this great era of science, modernity and opportunities, why does it still seem inadequate?
Like every other parent-children disagreements, I am seething with one too over the most mundane and silliest of topics. Such is life. I think it was Anais Nin who wrote that "I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles...My real self is unknown." How I so appropriately feel and relate to this sentiment expressed by her! We dig a hole and then keep putting all our priorities and sorrows and emotions and people and pretty much our entire lives into that hole. How shocked are we when some fine day we realize it didn't have to materialize the way we envisioned it! It could have either grown big or deeper or just stayed like a little, forgotten hole of absent vitalities from our permanent existence. It's a myth, that people admit and realise the falsities of their actions when they are about to lose everything in their lives. Because it is also a hardline fact that people develop thick skins to cope up with adversities and adversaries in their long lifespans.
Our troubled alienations have a far sighting damage than we ever let it believe us. What do all the philosophers tell us with their ultimate wise thoughts? They remind us to be human, to accept things the way they are and keep on living our lives for the smaller joys. One could never contest that kind of advice. Because we keep growing continuously. DO we ever really stop our lives for anything even grief? Maybe for a few seconds, minutes, days or weeks but never years. It is programmed in our DNA to keep going on. What is the most valued trait in other people? - It is Kindness. For it excuses a multitude of annoyances and its absence negates all other positive qualities. Kindness would definitely fix the world. These were words scribbled in one of my diaries. It is an ever going source of inspiration to pick up strength from these words of wisdom. We cannot let anyone else fight our battles. We choose them on our own and we must own them too. As simple as that.
Lastly, it's more about massaging that subtle spot on our ego where we know we could channel things in great directions. Here's a parting thought from Mallika Nawal. She writes:
"I fell in love with my eccentricities. I fell in love with my foolishness. I fell in love with my sentimentality. I fell in love with everything about myself: the scars on my heart and the scars on my body. The light in my eyes and the darkness in my soul. The warmth of my voice and the coldness of my silence. The agility of my words and the steadiness of my thoughts. Even imperfect, I was still perfect."
