I have often wondered as to how life is so simple and smooth for some and how it becomes stress and strain for some other!Immediately an answer which would come to my mind is that possibly the ones who appears to lead a smooth life may in fact been suffering within with out exhibiting outside. Then it struck me that I may be trying to cheat myself by not accepting the reality as it gives me a false sense of comfort.
Where lies the truth then?
Is it life can be with out worries?
Is it life can satisfy all wants if not needs?
Is it that some are born to suffer and some are born to enjoy??
I have always believed in starting from self whenever I am encountering questions
with no conclusive answers. That is where I started analyzing my self, how I was , what
were my fears and anxieties, how I overcame, who helped in the process, what were my
victorious moments and moments of defeat, what made me to balance them and so on.
Answers which came were astonishing and revealing. There were no expectations (atleast
not to my knowledge ) from me by any one. Now it can be interpreted as a trust reposed by them in me or simply the attitude of taking things as it comes and accepting a person as he grows and shapes himself.I just could not think of an occasion when we were worried about any thing. Mind you there were umpteen reasons to worry. I am the last son to my father borne at his age of retirement with none of my 4 elder sisters married then and my elder brother suffering from a king decease, not yet diagnosed clearly then. We were in rented house size of which is equivalent to my present hall in first floor of my present residence. And there were no lack of fun and frolic. MAGAZINES to be fought for (to read first), games to be played with so called bats and bushy lawns . an unending stream of visitors all with intent to stay at least for a week if not more, and the same Thayir sadham and vatta kuzhambu occupying menu day in and day out.More I think more I get convinced that it is their ability to accept things as it unfurled. Preparedness to face it as it comes. Courage and conviction that nothing can go wrong when efforts are focused and intentions are good.
And this is genetic medicine, carried from generation to generation.To remain tall even in a fall, to remain focused in the midst of challenges and to remain calm and quiet inside with the added confidence that nothing could go wrong.And that explains the smiles and smoothness of life flows.
May this tribe of people increase to bring harmony within and all around them too.
