☻† Pursuit of Bliss †☻

Even through silence, I hear the clamor of emotions raging minds and hearts of people. In some, these emotions comprise the thrill of newly found love or compassion while in others, the emotions of grudge, anger, malice or revenge storming the hearts. Everyone is trying to settle issues that trouble them. Every now and then, we come across situations that are hard to tackle and we still strive hard to breakthrough. There are days when we long for a few words of inspiration that could help us ascend from doom.

They say life is never easy, it will make you fall and crawl through bonfires. But then, was this the motto with which God sent us on Earth? To suffer and bleed! Probably, No! We are here mainly because we are ought to be helping others to overcome their grief. But we are so engrossed in our own world, seeking compliments, avoiding criticism and becoming more rational day by day that we have forgotten to give. We find felicity in costly possessions, blaming others for our own mistakes and making others feel inferior before us. But the real happiness is felt by those who lend a helping hand to the needy, forgive people for their thousand mistakes and is always true to himself as well as others. People forget that love is stronger than hatred. Love will guide you to eternal bliss but hatred will take you nowhere.

It's ego that can certainly destroy you. People blindfolded with their big fat ego cannot take a word against them. In order to defend their ego, they end up forcing others to tears by constantly attacking their self esteem. Basically we need to understand that ego and dignity are two words apart. A sense of dignity prevents you from doing wrong. It can raise you higher in eyes of people. But ego lets you down everywhere and every time. They say God resides in each of us who help us to differentiate between right and wrong, then why do people tend to follow the path of evil. It's apparent that we have shut our eyes to morality.We strive for perfection and long for a life with things perfectly fitting into it.We have become so self-centered that tactlessness has become the order of the day. Virtues like honesty, benevolence, mercy, sympathy have lost their prudence in the present world. The father of our nation, Gandhi ji, the paragon of truth took so much of pain to make us familiar with the power of truth. But we all have turned a deaf ear to his spoken words. We feed our ego by breaking hearts and let our anger get the best of us. Man has undoubtedly lost his way in the midst of time.

I wonder if there still exist people who make mankind their business, consider honesty as the best policy, give up their comfort zone to reach to the sufferers, never disappoints a needy soul and try to obliterate his own flaws rather than pointing out faults in others. Such people do show me a ray of light through the darkest of gloom. With least apprehension,  I'm trying to cultivate such values of morality in me as well. I always stand for truth even when the majority supports a lie. I never utter a "No" when it comes to helping others. I forgive people easily and always make it a point that I don't offend anyone. I love to thrive with a hope that a little contribution by me might help in making the world a better place to live.
