When you go through something major in
life, like a trauma, a sudden episode where the presence of God really hits
you, there occurs a major change in your life, in your priorities. What used to
matter so much seems trivial, even laughable? The first thing that hits you is,
what was the point of giving less importance to yourself, your health and more
to external factors and more important,
the unimportant factors.
Most of us make this mistake. Yes, I do
call it a mistake because often, you lose awareness of your own body, mind and
soul in catering to outside circumstances and people. Definitely not worth it
in the long run, is it? You need people when you are unwell and there is no
guarantee they will be there. Instead, just be well. Look after yourself first.
Wear your oxygen mask first. And then, use the milk of human kindness to help
others.
