I have
recently been sent these three lines, and I could not stop reacting (not
responding) to these beautiful lines…..
IN THE END, ONLY THREE THINGS MATTER…..
HOW MUCH WE LOVED
HOW GENTLY WE LIVED
HOW GRACEFULLY WE LET GO THE THINGS NOT MEANT FOR US…
I have
been hearing on saying “Aim at Moon, at least you will end up landing at Stars”;
since the childhood……
Dreams
are since the Birth……childhood Dreams and Demands have hardly any difference,
which are lovingly accomplished.
A
person grows, dreams become bigger, like controlling the mankind with the wild
ideas; and the competence to fulfill is missing, due to number of factors like
Culture, Family background, Level of Education, inherent strength, willpower;
and so on……..
These
Dreams can be of accomplishable type; where the factors mentioned may not be so
critical; and a person can very well converse him/her self to fulfill the
dream/demand/need……
For me,
have hardly seen a person having no/little dreams/demands; otherwise old
stories of Panchtantra; and even older Ramayana; or even the base of the
Universe is a wrong logic.
Why I wanted
to elaborate this point is only to establish that a Person who is grown has boundary
less dreams/wishes and enormous will to fulfill….
The
Social Structure and Culture in this part of world is completely different.
When I say “Completely Different”; it really does not mean that I am comparing
the two sides of the World. We are been given a brought up in a manner; the
educational standard has been set; culture to bring up has never been changed
since ages – which have reflected in Success Ratio….
Success
Ratio – is the difference of Dreams and Achievement………the higher the difference
the higher the frustration; or higher the “Vairagya”; or higher the
emotional setbacks; change in modus operandi; change in way one looks at/up to
rest of the people/their ambitions/their success ratio/rest of the world…….
And
Lower the difference in Success Ratio – might also change a person’s
perspective to Rest of the People/World……
There
are many people who are said to be living for others; and they will have to
fight the battle of improving this Success Ratio for the people he is working
for…..
Here, I
have very specific words to mention is “SELFISHNESS” and “SELFLESSNESS”……for
me, every Human being is SELFISH……shocked????? – the perception is different –
Being Selfish is not a bad go; unless and until one is for him/her self only.
There
are number of modes for Being Selfish; i.e……Being Selfish for…..
Self -
not know about the numbers
Immediate
Family – most of us become/are in normal conditions…
Entire
Family/Group of People/Friends – very subjective
The
Area/City – hardly seen unless a natural/created disaster
The
Country – National Character is a big thing – and rare for most of……
The
Cause/Mankind/Earth – probable amongst those few thousand people……
From
Being Selfish of first degree, the person who travels through all these degrees
becomes in the stage of “SELFLESSNESS’……
Unintentionally;
a person keeps his battle on; based on number of factors again; identifying the
main culprit as the Socio Economic Traditions
Balanced
Approach – sounds simple; and more simpler writing – but I bet, there are not many
people on this earth (for me it’s less than even 10000) who might have happened
to be in this state of mind; and that too; after long years of battling out on
Success Ratio……is truly a SAINT…
It
seems; God has set a cycle – you may change a route or speed; but can never
change the way it is been driven. One always has to pass through this Chain
Reaction of ratio calculation; and person who has loved the process becomes one
of those few thousand people…….
So
writing this blog is mainly on the Three Statements – mentioned in the
beginning……me concluding as every person fight all the stages; willingly or
unwillingly ; and the person who fights willingly will travel through all the
stages of life except the last one “Being selfish for the mankind”……..
All
these statements fall true, only if one decides not to expect anything in life….a
person can keep on loving people, will always be gentle to others, and will
never ever have any demand. Such people will be Neutral to everything; which is
a disaster for a mankind. Nature always has a counter to Good or an Evil; but
nothing to the neutral. This Neutral Community can never contribute to the
surroundings except spreading Soft Approach to anything and everything.
Dreaming
and Conquering it to Success is the Life…..Do Expect a Lot from the Life – go wild,
enhance compatibility – battle is out – win it – and spread your victory
amongst the mankind…..
