Christmas isn't Everyday

We live our lives in real life, unpredictable, cruel, unfair world and not in some self composed fairytale worlds, where you shape your IDEAL lives. Physics teaches us the ideal can never be achieved. Yet we fool ourselves with the pseudo perennial happiness. Nothing lasts forever be it the good time or the bad.

This is a known cliché. But we prefer to ignore it in our good times and use it when the going isn't good. Hypocrisy is an innate quality we all possess. On the Christmas night we forget that there were days when it was dark. When there were thunders. When the only colour present was black. When the trees were pale and when the lights were off.

Not getting stuck in your past or miseries in good but equally important is keeping your feet on ground. If today you're celebrating Christmas and someone else isn't then it isn't because he deserves it any less. It's just that it's one of the days of your past when it wasn't quite like the Christmas night.

People go through different phases at different times. What is assured is that you'll have enough of all those phases. It's you who is biased and not the time. The higher you rise in your elation, the harder you fall in your grief. The lower you sink in your grief, the difficult it gets to rise up in elation. Living momentously is not possible. Living in your elation is not possible. Living in your grief isn't possible either.

Those who don't realise this at this moment will realise it the hard way. Life has this characteristic of being a hard master. It teaches you sternly if you don't get it yourself. Treating each day as Christmas is overvaluing ourselves. We can never do anything to deserve this. If you think it's so, just look for a moment in your past or around you.

The perimeter of the circle of our concern couldn't just consist of you. We need to widen the radius. Being selfish isn't something that will make your Christmas last very long and when it ends you'll need a lot of things that you would have lost in your selfishness. RECONCILE.

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l...

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead...

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp...
