Born In The Wrong World

PERSONAL THOUGHTS (NOT IDEALS)

There have been days in my life that i tend to believe that i have been born in the wrong world or maybe the wrong era. the ideals i believe in are entirely absent in the world. People talk, people say but they never feel what they want to believe in. Everybody believes in sharing happiness but in the search of happiness we tend to forget to share and then to be happy. Everybody says that i need this from others but we never really register that we never give the same thing to others.

When we lack support from our friends we hate them for never being there for us but how many times have we been there for them. Even from my childhood i believe in being an altruist. It was being an altruist that was more important to me than being religious or social. I left social norms and laws, avoided the religion that i used to believe in quite a lot. People who know me now and how i avoid the religious events would be startled to hear that there was a time i remembered the whole "Hanuman Chalisa", lots of chapters of "bhagvat gita" and endless lines of prayers to be said from the time i woke up to the time i went up to sleep. I did not believe it would help others rather a way to self belief which made me the agnostic i am.

My family would never even know that most of the things i lost in my school time were the things i usually ended up giving to the needy. From the sweater i gave to a beggar on walk back home to the book i gave a friend 2 days from exams. Altruism became the hope i had in this world. This became the only true way to live life. It was the lack of benignancy that was the sole reason that i left a perfect girl of my dreams and am still unable to replace her.

Everybody knows the virtue of forgiveness and believe that every fault of theirs is pardonable because they believe that whatever the fault maybe they never meant any ill. This is one thing i found in every person i meet but i still could not find people easily forgiving. I have been trying to attain this virtue for a long time; For if i can forgive, i have already attained the virtue of tolerance, understanding, trust and non enmity. If there was a test of forgiveness i may guarantee i will get passed easily, for i never live in past and no deed in future is predictable. If i may tend to forgive i believed the world is all forgiving but it turned out to be the exact opposite. I found it the exact replica of Mark Anthony's lines which i may quote as i remember it now. "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones". If there is a reason for it, i know it not. I believe life has plenty of lessons remaining to teach me maybe this will be one of those that may come later in life.

If there was time and memory i may have made a novel out of this one. But as it is but a page of my life i will leave it here before i end up losing hope in this world. There may come a day that i will find the world i believe should exist and then maybe i will come to read this page and think that everything in the world is possible.

Importance Of everyone

A story about a man living an insignificant life but being so important to our world.

It is always believed that it is rich and the helpful that are allowed to be kind and these are the most significant part of the society. What would happen to us if some cricketer gets injured and we lose a match. A lot as we tend to believe. What happens when a beggar next door gets killed in a road accident; we move on like nothing happened. Some who are kind and have some heart feel bad about it for a moment or two and fell quite happy with themselves for having felt so. Even they shall forget the incident in a day or two. If not think about it and plan something big but in the end just leave the whole thing as a new idea comes our way.

It is not mine to criticize the way of living of others but it was my heartfelt desire to aware people about the importance of very small people who though lead a insignificant part in our life, have been serving us and the society for a long time. In ways that we cannot even imagine.

If you had woken up early in the morning and tried to jog around. You will find plenty of early risers who have started their work long before you thought it was time to come out from your bed. One of them are the city cleaners. These government servants have been living a poor and simple life, cleaning up the streets and the parks including the household garbage that we tend to add to their work. Though the habit has developed more in today's youth it was not absent in the old days. It is the habit of carelessness towards the things that are not yours. If it is not littering and spitting on the streets, or throwing garbage in neighbor's lawn or just over the wall, then it is destroying monuments and damaging public property. What happens when there comes a day these people decide to take a holiday. What will be the state of life in the city. It would be a mess of all sorts.

It is not just the city cleaners but every small person that is doing work to help maintain the balance that the so significant people of the society and the people like us have done to destroy. It is the gardener who plants and maintains the trees and orchids while we carelessly break the branches and pluck flowers and fruits and still believe in going green and speak on how the city needs more trees. There are the night watchmen that keep you safe in the nights endlessly every night.

There are lots of people from which these were but a few examples. My wish is only that the next time you see any man treat him like a person not be pitied but a person honorable to have served you and others, living a life few can imagine and living it for others.

I'm my own happiness

As I have always been telling others that if your happiness depends on others then you shall never be happy. The best reason for you to be happy is you. It is you who must search the joys of the world. If you look for your happiness in others then you will be disappointed one day or another. If you look for it in yourself then the only way you will be sad is when you will not be happy which in itself is an infinite loop.

I have seen some people enjoy life and a few become lonely just because they feel society is the answer to their happiness. People believe acceptance from the community is way to celebrate and be happy. While in reality community is nothing more than a platform for showing and spreading your happiness. In this era of community standings, defined lifestyles and overworked moneymaking mentalities; peace of mind can only be found in solitude. This corporate strategy is yet another proof of how one's life is his own to decide, design and develop. A single moment of solitude gives you the strength to fight all those tedious hours of work. Then why is it not possible that a single spark of happiness in your own self will provide you a way for fighting the sadness encapsulating your life and even spread some more around. Happiness is like the fastest spreading disease it just gets transfer from one to plenty in a matter of milliseconds. You smile and your friends smile.

It is my belief that every joke or laugh that you spread around creates an endless chain of laughter. It is the joy of every moment and somewhat ridiculousness of the situation that creates this laughter. I am not asking people to be ridiculous but just be joyous enough. When was the last time you were happy and when you were sad.

People believe in sharing the worries of others and their unhappiness. It gives force to the person to crossover the barriers of difficulties of life. How many of you have tried to remove sorrow than share it? Was the result same ? I hardly believe it would have been. It is better to invoke joy in person than let him ponder over the difficult phase of his or her life. A lot of people would believe what i am saying is right but some may have doubts about the whole idea. I am not leaving the option that some may oppose the idea completely. For those who believe as i do you already know that true happiness is also gained by helping those in need. People who have any lingering doubts, the best possible way to clear them is to experiment in life. Try living 6 days of life spreading and being happy and remaining as you now do. You will feel the change. Whenever you need help i will be there. For the non-believers only good luck for there life and may you join this chain some day.
