This is my first blog and I want to write something that I can keep as an asset and have a view whenever I feel the need ,for the rest of my life.
Most of us (Of course the lucky ones) get almost 75-80 yrs of lifespan.Now here we are endowed with many many types of emotions of love,hatred,jealousy,desire,disgust,anger…. We as an individual try to manage all of these emotions in the most efficient way we can ,to move ahead for an overall average happy and comfortable life.Things come, people come and incidents occur and we keep on fighting severely every time for the sake of our inner smile.But then among all these numerous emotions my personal view ranks "love" to be at the topmost position in my list not only for me, but for a majority of mass in general.This love is constitutional in all of us for our family,our parents and near n dear friends.We don’t ever need to put any extra ingredient to garnish the impeccable emotion(in normal cases)..But what if we bury ourselves too much in the world of emotions only???
Here comes the trouble..Yes we loose our self,our identity,our motive,our life.And we adjust ourselves to the life which has no "my" to it.We remain busy fulfilling those big or even little desires and expectations of our loved ones which even might not be something of much concern to them.And mostly we get so used to of this life that we don’t even feel any pain in ruining our "my".Many a times we even become frustrated if we could not achieve the thing desired by our people.We start demoralising ourselves and make a hell out of our life.It happens with most of us.For each n every little action we start analyzing it from their point of view.Now that’s not called life that’s called a responsibility with an overwhelming burden.It’s actually a habit and such people are always dependent and leave themselves hanging between choices for the whole life.I don’t find any personal story or specific person but I know it’s common very common among all of us and we all must have had experienced it at some point of our life.
Life is to live,cherish,perform and achieve.Our happiness should have a special place,in fact we need to be special for ourselves.Now we of course need not hurt the people we belong to, but trust me if they hold such important place and are so special ,then they won’t ever feel distress in our happiness.No one can ever deny how good is the feeling of ‘doing something for someone’….But it can’t be a habit else the world will become hell and very impractical to live in.Bringing out our self ,our thoughts ,our wishes ,our ideas of fun, our favourites,our “my” (of course with proper respect to others’ emotions)should be the real FUNDA!!
Happiness is a very vague word.It has different identity for different person.An act,emotion or phenomenon may be a source of happiness for someone,but it may not be the same for others.Roses and knives,fair and foul don't go together.You can't do something that brings happiness and unhappiness both.
ReplyDeleteTo me,returning is earning.If you something gor others,you do it for yourself too.
Its true that u cant alwys make every1 happy but then if u r doing it for someone special or loved one it will never hurt neither will it be a burden.Yes trying to fulfill expectations of people who dont value your efforts is a total time waste.Moreover i feel qualities like being helpful or selfish or indifferent are totally intrinsic.Important thing is not to lose your personality coz its wat u are....but i really like the line "Life is to live,cherish,perform and achieve".good one..keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteI agree to both of u..but I never did say that I don't believe in "returning is earning" or "Doing something for loved ones can hurt u or can be a burden".....It's just that there has to be our importance in our life as well..We don't exist without our people, life is meaningless without them..We all have the potential to give watever it takes just to make them happy and we always try to do it..But I just said that we cannot ignore our self,all of us needs to learn how to manage everything around including one's self...We cannot have a unidirectional approach in life..
ReplyDeletetotally agree with the blog... days of altruism are gone... if u cant be honest to urself, one can never be true to anyone else...a pretentious life can very well go to drain for all I care...
ReplyDeleteIf u want to make the world a happy place, start with yourself... being true and honest will not hurt
Dear i feel when i am doing something for other e.g my family member , i am doing for myself coz i feel satisfied . Trust me when i massage my 5 months old baby , i dont know how he would be feeling but i feel really nice . I enjoy each and every moment of that time and his smile.
ReplyDeleteBut yes i agree it should to a limit where it should not be burden for you . You should feel happy in doing the same. Yes your "ME" comes into the picture when you are at your best mood..... Your work and your mood(Feelings..) should be together to do something best other wise all negative energy and we are gone.....
Hello everyone even I belong to the same group and I am no different :)
ReplyDeleteLet it be your family,I feel even great if I can do something for a child on street or an old age person or even if I can make my friend's friend's friend happy..Human heart heart is very soft and fragile we want to be in a cozy environment with everyone around in a sound and healthy state...But I wrote this blog with just the sole reason to remind all of us to have some time apart from all the precious,special,magnificient people around ous and feel our very presence in our very own life...Rest I can't repeat the things agin all the time...Hope you all could get the real essence of what I actually wanted to produce..
I went through your recent comment.This time you look more eloquent.I tried to see the thigs in totality.I feel you have emphasised on the act of balancing.This is a nice and practical approach.It is a synonim of'Live and let others to live'(OF COURSE WITH A PINCH OF SACRIFICE)."Self" can not be ignored.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve kudos.Great!!!
Thank you papa :)
ReplyDeleteWhat u have return is absolutely true, people here may comment about philosophy but the fact is even they implement the same thing... "Doing something for loved ones can hurt u or can be a burden"..... thinking for urself or finding ur inner smile will never hurt the person u love doing something for ue loved ones CAN never hurt u or u CAN never feel burdened about it coz this is d beauty f love.... SACRIFICE... and one shud not always sacrifice ones happiness for it.... this is smethng vch mst be undersod by d other person thus forming a beautiful bond of love....
ReplyDeleteHmmm..."point"....:)
