Little Joys of Life

To love and to be loved is a rare combination in the current world that we live in. Either loving someone truly has become a joke, or to be loved by others is a strange expectation we all have. Isn’t Love a continuous phenomenon; which develops and grows with time? Love in any relationship, family or an intimate friendship, is only about putting the other person’s needs ahead of your own, and that, my friend, is just as simple and a complex as you make it. Even the nicest people have their own limits; respect is earned and not given. Remember karma has no deadline and goes around comes around…

All of us when born, come with an empty hard disk (brain), the matter within depends on what characteristics we adopt from our parents mainly or a guardian. It is such a complex world we try to understand slowly and steadily as and when we keep growing. Getting deluded by wrong temptations is so easy that gross accumulates faster than wisdom. Couldn’t all the consequences of our actions be known all before hand? Going back in time ‘interstellar’?

Love is all about learning and feeling good for others which no doubt is a mind game. The relations pre- existing in our lives are to be placed orderly with the ones which would form later in the mainframe mosaic of one’s life. Selfless, unconditional love lasts longer than pretending and expecting something in return. Loving one’s parents and siblings is the first thing all do in their early lives, moving on to loving their friends, their life partner after marriage which again involves pure love and a transparent relationship and lastly loving your own child which in itself is a big duty and responsibility. It is the cycle of life which has to go on with the wheels rotating and crossing every pothole that comes in its way.

If you feel all this is going tangential up in the air, take a deep breath and do what makes you happy. As all that we say and do are based on one’s own perceptions of life. Neither you nor I can define what kind of love we need and what kind we can afford to give others. Well one thing remains constant: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If we could look into each others hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other more and more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas or degrees we have received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done. What will matter most is how you have left your impressions on others. Hence stop comparing yourself with others and stay focused on your own journey and leave footprints behind……start doing small things with great love…good luck. :) :)
