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.
