The fact is, we don’t see ourselves. If we
saw ourselves and observed carefully, many things we criticise in others are
present in us as well. And so, it is not correct for the pot to call the kettle
black. The polishing is to be done by us on ourselves.
We are so external all the time. We may be
sitting in bright light but instead of enjoying the illumination , we get
preoccupied with wondering about the darkness outside !
Appreciating what we are and what we have
is never done in full measure. Because, while looking out, we can just be one
dimensional. This is the human tragedy. What lies inside is often denied due to
fear and deep insecurities. And therefore, we see only a fragmented individual
when we look within. And that is unpalatable. Hence, instead of doing something
about it, we prefer to wish it away by distracting our minds into external
avenues.
Ultimately, we pay the price for this
attitude.
