‘I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverge in a wood, and I
Took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.’
~~ Robert Frost
Every person who wants to do something different with their life will face some or the other difficulties. What decides your success is how you handled those difficulties. Did the obstacles make you lose heart or did they make you more determined? I have always looked at life as full of possibilities. Even as a child I wanted to do so many different things. I never worried if others my age where doing it or not. I didn't want to blend into the crowd, i still don't. I believe life is about continuously changing. It is not about finding a perfect state and sticking there till the end. That is like being dead. Life is about living with compassion, joy, taking risking, losing, getting hurt and getting up back on your feet. Life is to live with reverence for all other beings, big or small, around you.
Beena,
ReplyDeleteChange is 'life affirming'. Perfect state is an oxymoron. No state can, physically, be perfect. Hence, it is always futile. Even those who claim to be in such a state are faking it :). Life is not about anything at all - life by itself is about nothingness. And that is vast!
I see your point Manju. Thanks for sharing :)
