Life - An Overwhelming Trade-off
Friends ! How you perform some other act better while you are engaged fully in an important assignment is called life. Oh - ho, you want me get examined by a Clinical Psychologist. See, I am passing this remark holding a valid certificate in my hand about well- being of my mental state.
Life is moving ahead bravely against all odds. So, if you want to live a life, you must gather some odds for you. Though it is a fact that the nature is most often kind enough to provide you the odds before you ask for them vociferously
Odds, odds, bountiful odds chase you like a hound and cling with you like a hanging tail with a dog. You cannot liberate yourself from this till you are living. Getting yourself out of odds is like getting a state of ‘Moksha’ – a final liberty of soul from the cycle of birth and death.
Your defeat and success both are written by your odds. Whether you conquer it or succumb to it. Conquering it means not to remove all odds. It means just to modulate either yourself or odds to somehow suit each other and to take it to a practically optimal state.
Everything has a value because there are odds against it. If your neighbors behave perfectly gentle, you face imbalance in your blood-pressure level. You face catch-22 situation when your B.P. is normal even without medicine and your doctor’s advice is hanging before you as never to stop medicine. Then you pray, “O God just make my neighbors normally notorious.
Once Akbar asked Birbal to tell which act of human is the most soothing. Birbal quipped that it was to evacuation of bowels. Akbar threatened to behead him if he could not prove this unwarranted statement. Birbal proved that when time comes, a person prefers this evacuation act to receiving jewels, loving beautiful wife, getting estates or anything precious you can imagine. Everything is the most important in it’s time.
Just like a tug of war, you are liked by your new girlfriend only till the moment you felt pain in being away from the older. The moment you become solely attached with your new girlfriend, the catching factor in you disappears for her. And at the end of day you are nowhere.
The feeling that you are getting something at the heavy cost of other, adds sensation in your life. And this sensation is the other name of sensitivity nowadays.
A rich person came across his old-time school friend who was in a wretched condition. The rich person offered some valuable gifts to his friend out of fraternal feeling. The poor guy found this act of him as an assault on his self-esteem and refused bitterly. The rich person was ashamed on himself. The next day the poor guy sent some looters at his house and got his share out of the prize (looted wealth). He was content that he got it out of his efforts and not gratuitously. Here, it is irrelevant to mention that the rich had become rich in the same manner.
More often, you are able to appreciate a thing only when you have lost something dear, very dear to you for getting that. Nobody can better appreciate the taste of smoking than a patient of lung cancer.
