A speck of dust.In vast universe of infinite limits which have millions of galaxies and each galaxy have millions of planets and stars and other celestial bodies,what we are,is a speck of dust.A speck of dust that is so insignificant in size what we are in this vast emptiness around us that we call universe.You know what's bigger than this Universe? Your Ego.
All we have is one another but we don't get along because our egos and our vested interests are so bigger than us.Ego is an insecurity;Insecurity that you might feel small if you did what you are supposed to do or feeling that you're better than everybody else.Insecurity instils fear.A person with ego or attitude issues starts to build walls around themselves,and soon they get trapped in darkness and loneliness of their self built solitary confinement.Even asking for help feels embarassment to them.Sorry is such a beautiful word.A word that is filled with remorse and Improvement at the same time.A person who comes to the realisation that they did wrong and might have hurt someone,seek for redemption by mere one word-Sorry.They apologize and they own their action. How rare and how beautiful is that in today's scenario.
Everybody (Okay, almost everybody) today thinks that they are right.They are so adamant believing in their righteousness that they don't even allow any other thought get into their thinking process.Sometimes,even if they know they're wrong they are not willing to accept their mistake in open.This is because people are driven by their Egos.Their ego command their actions.They feel that they will reduce to a smaller person if they apologize.How often do you meet a person a who walks upto you and hold such courage to tell you that they did wrong?Not many I guess.That's about others, what about you?Ask yourself Are you brave enough to walk upto someone and admit that you made a mistake and you're sorry for that?If so, You're a great human and you're contributing to a better world.Have a room in your head for other's outlook too.Try to see things from their perspective,put yourself in their shoes once and you might feel how they felt.Having broad mindset and being open to change can work wonders in your personality development and it will garner you respect in society.Feeling of always being right is not right.
The dilemma
There is and always will be a choice to make.You can either choose to do a thing that pleasures you or you can do the right thing.Lies, deceptions are usually sugarcoated in layers of amusement and temporary pleasures.They will always be the easier path to opt for.They come with illusion that you will get away with things or You don't have to be accountable for your actions.A lie is what it preaches - A lie.
A lie is a double edged sword,it will hurt people at both ends.Lies leads to loss.You already know all this.Your parents,your teachers,your experience in life has taught you this.But what happens is,that in day to day life when we do so many things monotonously that we forget about rights and wrongs.We get too busy in our lives that we don't make time for self analysis and as a result our mistakes and guilts start piling up and when they reach at Peak point,they come crumbling upon us and cause us harm.I am here just to remind you this again.
Often the right course of action is not pleasurable or self soothing.It requires ultimate strength and courage and immediate consequences of that right decision might not be favourable for you but in a long run,they are the ones that hold meaning.They will pleasure you but in their own time,after dust has settled and in their own manner.You may have to loose some important people or things or desires but once you realise the value of the right decision you made,you will feel the pleasure but in a different way,a more meaningful one and long lasting pleasure that will shape your character.Its not that you won't feel the loss that you endured,its just that it won't bother you anymore.
I myself am not perfect or an ideal human being nor i am a torch bearer for change.I am just another human being who makes many mistakes on regular basis.I lie,I hurt and judge people knowingly or unknowingly,I too am as wrong as anybody else.But I try.I wake up everyday,sit on the porch outside my room and remind myself how I am going to approach things,How I am going to abstain from things that are hurtful to others and I am going to be little more kinder than I was yesterday.And I believe that that's what matters.Trying matters.Choosing and making an effort to walk on that path you chose,matters.Society isn't going to change on its own and its not going to change overnight either but if we decide to mend our actions,if we try to introduce a change in ourselves,even a minute one, everyday,We will see the shift in norms of society.We will witness a better world coming to life that we only had dreamt of.The fact that we have associated our life pleasures with money is where we went wrong.Try to find joy in little things in life.It can sweet smell of your pen or a cup of hot tea in chilly evening.It can lead to influx of so many good thoughts that make us realise, appreciate and cherish the gifts of life.
Its our approach to life that engineers the community around us.Human psychology is such that we see things and we pick them up and make them our behavioural trait.More kind people will lead to more kindness & more empathy will attract more understanding mindsets.Even if somebody is not reciprocating the same emotion or feeling,You need to keep doing your part.You are not doing it for somebody,You are doing it for yourselves.You ought to be a better human being and thats what should matter.Put your Ego, arrogance or self righteousness aside and be a team player.So,as the saying goes, Be the change you wish to see in the society.Keep Trying.
Ball is always in your court.
Thank you.
