Encounter with life

Amidst the darkest clouds the sun's rays pierce their way to lighten up th earth. With the day so bright and lively, night so calm and soothing we go on about our daily chores. The sweat and toil pays off when we hit our bed in the night. The sound sleep relaxing our body and our soul which was bruised many a times during the day...

i don’t know what power is it that makes us go on and go...whenever there are deadline we get this sudden burst of energy to work round the clock...sometimes even in our sleep. While there are days when we can’t do a simple task of making a cup of milk, just coz we want to become a vegetable and not move...

Right from our childhood, we are taught to be a good human....but i believe there are just a handful of us who really live up to that teaching. Its well know that life's full of struggle and hardwork....Whether its a life of a simple human, who doesn’t aspire much from his life and leads a contented life...or from a corrupt person who manipulated others and the system to work in his favour. the simple human struggles with his urges and desired to work as part of the system, while the corrupt person struggles with the system to fulfil his urges and desires.

Noone should be forced for anything...not even to live against his wish....but we make rules and laws to impose even the desire to live on and on against all odds.
The other day i read an article of an old man wanting to pull out the plug of his life as he thought he had already lived his due live tenure...but the law wouldn’t let him do so. He now lives a life of a single desire that he would encounter death in his sleep. Not that he lived a bad/sad life...its just that he wants to take it easy and not struggle anymore to live along.

Life gives us a freedom to do anything we want, so it is said. But then we really can’t do anything and everything we want. Amusing!!!! We need to abide by the laws made by some, so called, super human/Government, who decided to make a list of To-Do's and Not-To-Do's. I at times wonder who do they think they are - GOD???

Happiness...a rarely found emotion in us humans, as on date...
For the infants, their parents and grandparent are their source of happiness
For the teenagers, their friends and parents and grandparents and extended family
For just-touch-adulthood, their someone special
For the married, their life partners
For the parents - their children
For grandparents - their children and their grandchildren

How the life goes round in circle...it hasn’t a single corner from where the happiness can escape.....Yet, it’s a rarely found emotion....

Life built itself as a vicious circle, where everything was interdependent....if we open our eyes can carefully walk, we are sure to hit the Happy and Contented zone...

I was told by a learned person..."When we are born we have a little of everything possible emotion in us....our lifestyle, our actions and our decisions hone-up those emotions"
we all encounter life with a spoon full of sugar and a pinch of salt....spices are what we add on our own to give it that perfect taste that we expect out of it.

I guess the only tip I can give from my own experience – Look life in the eye, and you are sure to win over it…else its just another rut we walk in….
