Perceptions

Why is it that, in society, the act of gossip is entertainment to us? It is definitely slander. It results in maligning the person you are gossiping about. And the people we talk about are not even present to respond. And we feel satisfied when others agree with us? Really? We have reached a stage where sensitivity and spirituality is nowhere. We are living a lie and in total ignorance. Even though, I am sure, everyone has a need to be seen as “good”, we get stuck within our own limitations of our frustrations and cravings.

Our own inadequacies probably give us a short term “high” through speaking about the limitations of others and criticizing them. Our perceptions about others then, become a convenient argument that probably makes us feel superior to them. Reality may be very far from what we think. We are merely delusional. The irony is, we do very little to work on ourselves. Hard work comes hard although, the fact is, looking within is the only way to create the right values within us.

There is a world out there that does not know the meaning of being spiritual and being close to the Divine. It is dark and defiant of any light coming in. Let US at least live in the light ourselves, each one of us. Be sensitive and compassionate. Let’s be good. Let’s understand that everyone is fulfilling their karma only. No more, no less. And everyone is living a challenge. So, Be kind. Be helpful.
