A bit of things

The pinnacle of evolution, the portion of living organisms called mammals of which humanity constitutes but a fraction is a very confused and troubled lot. Mammals are distinguished by their pattern of forming family bonds. Unfortunately, these bonds give rise to a host of vices that we cannot see in the rest of the natural world – jealousy, selfishness, greed, hatred and vengeance. The phrase “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” wonderfully fits us mammals. We have the power of consciousness – the 6^th sense and with it, the responsibility to become aware of our vices and overcome them. Life does not come with a manual. We just gotta write it as we go along.

The beauty of life, is that, the reality that it is can only be understood when we see its ugly side and come to terms with it.. Life is not about happiness alone.. It’s about the happiness that comes on overcoming the sorrow and the pain. Along with that comes an understanding, a peace that gives you the energy, confidence and belief to accept and live. It also helps us change ourselves and the world around us. That is what differentiates us from our selfs..

For a change, using simple language

A very wise person once said, If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found.
When we find something we are passionate about, we give all our heart and soul to do what is necessary to accomplish it. This something could be achieving greatness in a sport, being a successful business person, travelling the world, collecting every stamp ever made, or anything at all. This becomes our self proclaimed purpose in life. This purpose gives us a sense of belonging and something to do in life.
Quite often, unfortunately, many of us do not have this feeling – the feeling of wholeness, the feeling of belonging, the feeling of happiness. Instead, we trudge along with our daily life, nodding our heads to whatever society throws at us, living a listless life of denial and incompleteness. We never cease to complain, but never do anything to bring ourselves out of this hole.
We must all realise one thing. What matters is not what happened or why it happened. But just the fact that it happened. When we get angry or upset at the fact that something has gone wrong, we never cease to find excuses to cover up for our fallacies. But try as we might, we can never find the solution to undo it. When something goes wrong, accept it. Try your best to make it succeed. Growing a rose in a desert is a greater achievement than growing an oak tree in the forest.
The beauty of life and the happiness that people seem to find in it lies in the very fundamental fact that the ppl who find it so, are the ones who live every moment and enjoy it without cribbing. When you complain about a situation, you are seeing only what is in front of u and not the way through it. It is only when u see the light at the end of a tunnel, that u can get out of it. If you keep looking at the tunnel, or if you refuse to open your eyes, it is LEAST likely that you find your way out. Most of us are doing so. Though we keep saying we WANT to get out, or it would be better if we get out, we do not take the simple effort to open our eyes and look BEYOND the darkness in front of us.
As Joe Cardare commented – To the question of life you are the answer; to the problems of life you are the solution.
