INTROSPECTION-2 ( Life )

Why do people celebrate birth day, why do people decorate the death…? Why not LIFE………….

These are the few critical questions which are continuously agitating my mind. Birth and death are the two extreme points of life, which are not in our control; obviously to take birth as a human is significant achievement for a creature.

But by having a deep insight through the life one can easily see that our celebration is a selective one. Sometimes by celebrating the birthday or decorating the death we forgetting the important thing which lies in between those two points.

Human life is one of the beautiful gifts given by god to us. And instead of celebrating we are always complaining about it. I have come across so many peoples, complaining about professional life, personal relations, academic career, and family life and so on. And in the midst of this chaotic environment of complaint we are missing the real charm of life.What we get in this life is not a random phenomenon, instead a systematic order behind it. God has given us everything for what we deserve. Complaining about the life is a spontaneous activity comes out of the fool mind.

The fulfillment of the human desire is not the aim of the life. But people are desperately trying to define the happiness in such a way as their sub-conscious mind does. The real happiness comes from the real celebration. The definition of celebration may vary from people to people. For some drinking wine with friends is the celebration, for some enjoying date with girlfriend, and for others watching movie or chatting in orkut .there is no specific definition of celebration, but the real happiness is that, which must not lead to regret in future. If those activities which we consider as a celebration at present causes regret and sorrow in future, it means, we are living in the illusion of celebration.

People commit mistakes, strong people learn from it, but the weak hearted people try to get rid of it and try to forget it. But unfortunately, the most difficult thing in life is to forget. If we try to forget one thing, it means indirectly we are perpetuating those memories in our brain. The human mind is not like the computer hard disk where one can press the shift+del button and easily delete the memory. In fact it is working like the NOT gate. If we try to remember something than there may be probability to forget, on the other hand if we wish to forget something than definitely it will occupy a significant space in our mind.

One should not forget their past. I can remember the dialogue of the movie that “jo aapne bite hue kal se pichha chhudana chahta hai, wo zindgi ki race kabhi jit nahi sakta”. Once upon a time in mumbai the sultan mirza had this philosophy. And due to this mentality he had not only ruled the smuggling world but also the heart of common people. By citing this example I am not glorifying the bad activities of sultan mirza, but I want to emphasize the positive side of his characteristics. The above statement should not be misconstrued; it doesn’t mean that we should adhere to the past. We must learn from it, there is a lesson in this movie for us all, but unfortunately we are concentrating our mind in the syllabus only. In fact the past contribute to our experience pool, and it is one of the powerful instrument in our decision making process. It is the foundation stone upon which we have to build our palace of future. It has been said that a good decision comes from experience and experience comes from bad decision. It is not uncommon to see people commit error, but what matters most is, whether we are learning from it or not.

For a learner the past experience becomes a valuable asset and for those who want to get rid of it, it becomes a liability and hurts like a cancerous organ.
