Consequences
We
don't really realize what happens when we violate a universal law. The repercussions
have long and far reaching effects. There is a snowball effect for everything.
And once the consequences begin to spiral outwards, they complete their circle
of movement. And to experience the consequences is inevitable.
Humans are naive enough to believe that if
they disobey the universal laws surreptitiously, deviously and silently, they
can get away with it. Think again! Like the proverbial fly on the wall, the
Universe watches. Every second! But we do many things in ignorance and out of
the preview of the parameters of wisdom...this has to change first.

Depression
Depression
should not be allowed to step close to us. It has many, many repercussions. If
you examine the reasons, one of the foremost ones would be the pain of
unfulfilled expectations, especially of unrequited love.
As
we know, no man is an island. But in developing relationships, there comes a
tipping point which turns the relationship into one of dependency, into a need
of a crutch. Automatically then, this is the start of the end of the
relationship. Healthy bonds work differently. They can work on mutual
dependency better than one stronger and one weaker link.
There is every need to strengthen our backbone to stand upright,
even if to walk alone. Inner strength compensates for the presence or
perception of many lacks. And it would be within the preview of wisdom to be
aware that we journey alone from life to life. So, holding onto to any form of
crutch is going to be nothing short of meaningless. Then why the depression?

Idealism
I
met someone recently after a long time and was really delighted to see some
profound changes. Though we had not been more than good acquaintances, the transformation was glaring, even for
me.
And I once again started thinking about
why we find it in our hearts to have such fixed opinions about people. It is
almost as if we write them down in stone and swear not to change them. Either
we are blind to people we love or unforgiving
of those we are prejudiced towards.
We don't realize that change is a constant for anyone and
everyone. We know that the same person reacts to different people in different
ways. We see various aspects of the same person. That is because of these very
fixed notions about people in their heads that prevent a different perspective,
another vision.
Often, those who have not been close
are suddenly observed to be very close. How
does it happen?
If the motive is not of wanting
something from a person, then it is because the change
has been seen and forgiveness has set in.
Let this become a norm and genuine integration of souls can
happen. I am told by many that I am idealistic. But idealism of today was
realism at one time and can be again.
