Loneliness

In the course of a normal day, we meet almost 30 people on an average every day. This figure excludes the people with whom we interact virtually on phone or by greetings or those who notice us, but whom we fail to notice. Isn't it strange that we are surrounded by a multitude of crowd and yet most of us experience a sense of loneliness, but thats the core reality, that happens with most of us.

Loneliness is a state of mind. Since birth we are bound by several bonds of realtions, be it a father, mother or our siblings or our relatives. With age we share a part of us with friends, collegues, yet there is a high level of loneliness which creeps in our mind if our mind is not occupied. The whole life we spend our lives in the search of a right life partner, who would truly understand the depth of our mind, but what about people undergoing broken marriages, shatterred relationships, orphans and even the richest of people who can't share their grievances with the people around.

Isn't it true that the man at the highest postion experience solitude. The tip of the sword hangs on his head and he is a lone warrior. Truly there are no gains without pains.

More meaning can be aded to life, if everyday we try filling the void of loneliness in other sufferer's mind. That would definately consume a little bit of our time, BUT would truly justify our existence !!

Life

To define "Life" in merely one sentence is a Herculian task, but to cut the long story short, life is all about "Perception". How we look at our day to day affairs makes our life heaven or hell.

Over the passege of time, many of us start taking this human life, for granted. In all relegious mythologies , human life is considered as the biggest boon, gifted by God. What's the difference between the great eminent pesonalities, cherish our historical past and us? The difference is in the perception. Why is it only that a hero emerges only when things are splitting apart.

Modernism has somehow brought a sudden drift of opinions, from doing 'public good' to doing 'self good'. At times, we are so occupied in sorting the daily jargons of our lifes that we forget the other humane things that we could have done. Such beautifull things can be like doing charity, bringing happyness on a poor childs face or helping a tired labourer.

If we percieve things around us as being pessimistic and confine ourselves in that cocoon of negativity, we will never be able to come out of it. Rather we become prone to lots of mental and physical ailments, but if we see that ray of optimism, then that desire can take us a long way.

Hardships and failures, though despised by all, are an essential part of our lives. A man thinks to move on in his life, only after he has faced some form of defeat in his past. To put it in
Shakespearean words, "The heat of the race lasts only till the race is won".

My mantra of life is to thank God, every day that we are blessed to see yet a new morning and justify our actions...to live each movement to the fullest...to help another human...to make a mark in others life, because people don't remember what you DID to them, but what you MADE THEM FEEL.
