Saturation Level

 

When you indulge in excesses, sooner or later, you will reach a saturation point, enough to turn away from that activity for good. And I don’t mean addictions. Addictions kind of drag you down and generally, have no satiation nor saturation levels.

Certain activities have the same deterioration quality that perhaps, repeated jokes that get stale over a period of time.

When that happens, it is time to graduate into more interesting activities. And if you can’t do this and get stuck out of habit to what has stalled, you will be breathing the pollution into your life without realizing why you are falling sick. We need to explore more facets of life, like we did as kids.

Memories

 

I marvel at people who just take things for granted. Because what you really take completely for granted is the most fragile. Yes, LIFE!

Is there any guarantee that we will even wake up in the morning? Every day, we hear of sudden health issues, some discovered too late even because, before manifesting, they were festering within.

One would imagine that after witnessing one or two such cases, people would become more sensitive to those around them and aware of the fact that they can be lost to them anytime.

And yet, this awareness is very slow to come in, if at all. It is very essential to spend as much time with each other and build up strong and loving memories to last and transfer to each succeeding generation. We survive only on good memories, and we have to create them ourselves.

A Bundle of expectations

Forget Safety, live where you fear to live, destroy your reputation, be notorious"- Rumi
People find Rumi too drastic sometimes. I love him. He eggs you on to live a full life, deeply philosophical on one hand and seeking freedom for each one of us who have bound ourselves hand and feet in the self created web of meaningless wants pure insecurity.
Thoughts such as, what will happen to me if I do this or that? The "ME "which we don't know ourselves. Which one is the "me?" There are so many "me"s , each with their own demands, their beliefs, their prejudices , etc.
This is what Rumi tells us to free ourselves from. Wants bring fear of non achievement. Wants attach us to the desired result and there is grief if that result does not materialize. We are actually a vortex of desires and to aspire to achieve them, a bundle of expectations also, because at every step, we would need people.
A life without fear is a life well lived. Fear of loss. Fear of death. Fear of not being loved. Fear of non acceptance of rejection and of loneliness, even if not being able to survive and so much more.
We can't even imagine how much time is being wasted on so many unnecessary activities which actually increase our fear quotient and reduce our freedom to languishing within boundaries made by us and none other.
