When I was a kid I always had a thought that I know things that are happening around me. I mean where my physical body is going and I know only that much. Why don't I know the things which are happening around my family, friends?
If I am having a headache why is my whole body disturbed? Only head should suffer. If my loved one is in pain why am I worried? Only that person should suffer.
Then I realised I am important. This is a fact. Nothing wrong in that.
Then I heard the word selfish. Now what is the meaning of that? Selfish people only think of themselves. They just care about themselves and rest of the people should go to hell. They don't bother. In this case also me is important.
Then slowly and gradually I saw the reality of life. People are running behind materialistic things. That this is mine and that is mine. People don't want to share. I am not talking about everyone. Exceptions are there in every cases.
Why are we making our life so complicated? God has gifted us a beautiful life. Why can't we live life beautifully? Why ego comes in between? Why should I say sorry? Even if we know we are wrong then too we don't say sorry. just to satisfy our ego. Here again comes 'I'
Giving lecture is so easy but understanding the situation is so difficult😣
Everyone is right according to their perspective but others are wrong according to our perspective.
For a murderer, killing someone is right, so what if someone is loosing a life. For him he is only important, his needs are important. He thinks he is right.
We do what is important for us because for us only we are important. We don't care if others are getting troubled because of us.
I have seen in local trains everyone is in a hurry. If one person falls others will go above their body because they don't want to miss the train. Their family is waiting for them. But what about the person who has fallen?
Me me me and only me. I am important. My needs are important. I should be given priority.
Life is uncertain. The people who we see around us they are going one by one. Even we will go one day. Then the chapter of me will be closed forever for us. Those who are alive they will still do me mine, myself.
All this we are doing it for ourselves and we even don't know how long we will survive. In spite of knowing all this brutal truth we are not ready to change.
I am not saying that don't think about yourselves. Self love is always good. If we don't love ourselves how can we love others. But not on the cost of hurting other people. Sacrifice is also a part of life. Sometimes to give someone a reason to smile makes our day.
