When a child
peeks out of the window, what does she see? A world annexed by adults who are
impossibly taller than her. She can't help wonder what lies beyond what she's
able (or should we say, allowed) to look at. There's so much going on and so
many words exchanged.
Most of them
don't even make sense to her innocent mind. Regardless, she likes being alive
and part of this fledgling scheme called family. She finds comfort in love and
friendship. It's only when she moves away from the living room towards the
window that questions flood her.
The trick
behind growing up hasn't really hit her yet. As of now, she's the only constant
in this ever-mobile universe. Amazing! She stands there short with her eyes
stretching wide open. Someday, she'll be on the other side of the window. The
only problem is, will she seek answers or will she keep moving like the rest of
us?
In this over intrusive world,knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.There is neither HAPPINESS nor misery in the world.There is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing MORE. She who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die,that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.As one of my Fav Author Coelho has put into words like this "The SECRET OF LIFE, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."So ,the unexamined life lacks the much needed ecstasy of Sheer mystery which is quite enthralling & beguiling . It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that maps the course of our living. . . Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions.So to live is not just to seek answers but also attain the ultimate wisdom .....Probe the earth to see where your main roots run
