Life Thoughts

#1
He mounted the stairs hurriedly while carrying a lunchbox with him. When he reached the classroom he could see a girl addressing the class and though he had to get back to work urgently he decided to wait till the speech came to an end. He realized that she was speaking about the person who had influenced her the most...she was speaking about the lessons that the person had taught her through his deeds. It was then that he realized how much he had influenced his little girl who seems to have grown up beyond his imaginations...

#2
I believe that the human mind has great potential within it that awaits to be unleashed. We try to run away from our difficulties rather than facing them courageously. I believe that if we endeavor to evolve as a human we should face our obstacles. We should try to resolve issues rather that trying to find solace in temporary diversions. So I believe that the power of human mind gets revealed not only when we solve great mathematical or scientific quests but also when we indulge more deeply with human life.

#3
Detachment is perhaps a gift that is hard earned in life... I keep wondering how some people keep themselves aloof from the things occurring around them. Being unbiased and open minded is really hard for it is humane to be partial. But being detached really helps us to grow intellectually and emotionally and to have unique perspectives. And may be that is the reason why I really enjoy and treasure the company of such people...

#4
It is when we are alone that we keep on contemplating about ourselves. Solitude is perhaps a gift from God... The little time that we get to think about ourselves, how life has changed us or how we still remain the same... It is the time we get to appreciate or criticize ourselves, the time we get to laugh at our own foolishness and above all the time to realize that we are just a speck in this universe...

#5
I think being a strong person externally is the most difficult thing in our life. There are a lot of things that only a sarcastic and strong hearted person can understand... Understanding the potential of the listeners is just one among them. They also enjoy the freedom to mock and to get mocked. People feel free to talk to them ( though not the sensitive ones i guess!). Ironically such funny, sarcastic people would have survived the most tragic events in their life... Isn't it wonderful that negative energy can be thus converted to positive energy? But as i said it is not possible for everyone i guess...

#6
I keep thinking about spirituality. I guess we Indians are too obsessed with religion that we often attach spirituality to religion. But does spirituality gets confined to religion alone? Or is it that we confine our self to religions and rituals? I think it is a much deeper question that needs serious contemplation. I have seen religious people acting selfishly and ordinary people behaving in a divine way. So this keeps troubling me as to what exactly is spirituality? Is it finding God and peace in the world around us or visiting shrines and religious sites alone or does both go hand-in-hand?

#7
I think discovering ourselves is the most difficult task we face in our life. Often we do not even attempt to do it for fear of facing our own insecurities. But once we know what we are capable of and what we aren't, I think it will be easy for us to take up tasks rather than pursuing things we cannot accomplish... I myself like to do a lot of things that pops into my head but something prevents me from doing them... What is it? My lack of confidence can be one reason but then I'm in constant quest of myself just to know what I am capable of and what I am not capable of...

#8
It is not always easy to be cheerful and benevolent in life especially when we are fighting our own personal demons. Being humans we do loose control over our emotions at times,but some people choose to be different... They are the ones who maintain a stable mind through thick and thin...they are the ones who are ready to help us and put on a cheerful contagious smile even when they are passing through the toughest times of their lives. I admire and adore such selfless people for it is they who make this planet a place worth living in...they are the living divine!

#9
I keep wondering why we often associate tears with weakness. We tend to see a person who cry as weak and fragile but what exactly forms the basis of this prejudice?! For me tears are a sign of strength and happiness as well... It might mean that the physical or mental pain inflicted upon us is far more we can endure but it might also mean that we are capable of rising above our pain. Tears can be the sign of our infinite potential to remember the days of glory and the days of sorrow. Tears can thus be associated with a number of emotions based on our perspectives and not just weakness alone. So I believe that we should neither mock a woman for crying nor should we prevent a man from crying just based on the biases prevailing in our society. And so next time we see a person crying we should be glad that we came across one brave heart who is much more than a fragile soul...
