During my lonely resilient time, it suddenly occurred to me how satirical are the lives led by us. As we make transitions from the love to the lust for success and realize the thrills of self ego in the things that we do, we tend to become so narcissist and self indulgent that these bouts of self love take over us completely and there comes a time when we just see ourself , our mind becomes narrow , our thoughts shallow.And the irony of this self indulgence is that we become completely blind to the world from which we can learn so much more. Our obsession for our external appearance , achievements and sheer jealousy at anyone who did better than us makes us lose the biggest gifts of our life..peace of mind,happiness and learning.
We stop learning because we think that we are having omnipotence and omniscience.Our life is filled with the materialistic pursuits but far away from the pursuit of happiness.The self arrogance, the lust for the bubble reputation, the sudden disgust at someone's success, the urge to achieve money without ethics, fame without hard work and dedication and lust without love will push us into an abyss that has unfathomable misery..misery of the soul..torment of mind..where getting a peaceful sleep is the most difficult thing ever..Is this a successful life?? It may be successful with respect to material pursuit but it is definitely not the life that is worthwhile..a life that has been lived up for others..a life that is devoid of all those beautiful moments of joy, happiness, sharing and peace which come to us without any cash, debit or credit cards.
In my encounter of various moving experiences , I have realized that is indeed the poor or economically backward sections of society who can teach us the true lessons of life.Whether it be a poor mother who sells her body to disgusting beasts every night only to give her crying children some food in their empty stomachs or the emaciated father who works very hard, suffering indignities for the hungry and weakened yet hopeful souls who wait for him to return home.
Our world is filled with ironies which can transform our lives and inspire us to become better souls.All we need to do is to open our blind fold of vanity, reach out and help others, respect people irrespective of their jobs..when u address a rickshaw wallah as "dada" with a smile..may take little effort from you but will mean lots of happiness for him..For once stop thinking just about your branded clothes, shoes, projects, make up and move beyond YOU for while as life has a much bigger meaning to it. Get A Life !!! that is much beyond You and that is waiting to teach you so many incredible things :)
