LIFE
What we know and what should be!
Life as we know has evolved from many changes. The time when
just using small things was enough, now the definition of life as we speak is
changing day by day. Life as the word itself says, L- Laughter in times of
sadness and woes, I- Integrity in one’s own belief, F- Fortitude to be
independent and an individual, E- Enjoyment without expectations. The best way
to say live the life would differ from person to person. The happiest person on
earth might be the one who doesn’t have grudge, envy, sloth, greed, pride,
gluttony. Simultaneously it would be harsh to say to those who posses one of
the above attributes and still enjoying
life as long as they know about it and are ready to change it sooner or later.
Nothing can be more freaky than having everything and still not able to
enjoy it completely. The answer to this question as what’s the best way to live
life, in my opinion will not be given by a PHD scholar, a 75 year old man who
has seen life. But actually a person who has a life in life. Nothing can feel
good even if you are driving a car and having pain in back or having huge
packets of money to spend in any lavish restaurant but no loved one to sit
with. These small things makes life blissful and actually worth living.
Billionaire Bill Gates once said, “Money isn’t everything, but make sure you
have a lot to talk such non sense.” Well actually his words did have a lot for
us to ponder. The main motive behind it was to tell people that one should not
race like rats for money so as to forget himself in it, that he is not able to
give time to close ones. I mean, what’s the purpose of it when you will be left
alone and not able to spend together with anyone of your beloved one’s. 80 year
old American Play Boy, The editor-in-chief of Play Boy magazine Hugh Hefner has
said, ”There are many roads to Mecca”. Exactly there will be many ways to live
life but only few to enjoy life happily.
A lame man once had an opportunity to live life peacefully and happily
by satisfying himself with one golden egg everyday from his hen, as ego is a
fascinating monster, all peace and opportunity went to drains leaving him with
a knife in his hand and dead hen. So the answer of this question lies within
everyone. Do we actually crave for materialistic values more than ourselves or
spending quality time with loved ones? At start, yes might be most popular
answer but later he might feel squeamish or deserted in his golden ship sailing
towards Bermuda triangle, lost forever. Thus craving for something is good but
make sure you are not making yourself a prisoner in that fascination. Live
happily, spend quality time with close ones, and be optimistic and positive
about everything which I guess is key to every door which leads to live life
happily. As Gautam Buddha has said, Do not dwell in past, do not dream of the
future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Finally I would like to end this with words
of famous American Poet Robert Frost:
“In three words I can sum up
everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
