How many things in life can we laugh about?
How many things do we take in our stride? And how many times do we get
affected?
If you can laugh about things which hurt
earlier, then you are more evolved because such people are lighter in energy and
a little detached as well.
If you are taking things in your stride,
then you have learnt to balance your emotions out. And you have learnt when and
where to use them.
And if you get affected by things, then you
have not learnt your lessons well. It is always in the moment of imbalance that
we are dominated by our emotions. You are still too dependent on what is
outside of you. And the external is not always dependable whereas you are
looking for support and encouragement from there only. Shoulders may be taken
away. Rugs can be pulled from under your feet.
In all this, you can only depend on
yourself and your wisdom in living, dealing with people and situations. Just like
no one can attend school as a proxy for you to attain the knowledge, no one can
improve your life but yourself.
Men may come and men may go,
But "I" go on forever.
So, if "I" go on forever, where
lies the need to lean on an impermanent, destructible world?
