Ego battle
There comes a time when you are absolutely
saturated by all that goes around . Which you were a part of earlier in life.
But somewhere along the way, the falseness, the meaninglessness of all
conflict, all separatist tendencies, all pettiness, all self absorption, all
cruelty , sadism, merciless killing and destruction... becomes so over the top
that the mind just wants to switch off. And words fail.
Finally , this time, silence dawns . There
is just no speech that can describe any of it.No opinions need be given. No
judgemental statements may be spouted. Everything is just an ego battle. What's
the point ?
Silence is the best policy. Watch the world
go by. Remain sane by stepping aside.

Difficulties in life
The general complaint one hears about
making any inner changes is, "but, it is so difficult ". Well, isn't
everything difficult before it becomes easy? So, what is the problem? That you
don't want to try at all, only because it seems difficult?
Phase 2: WHY is it difficult? This is a
tricky one; Calls for a lot of beating about the bush and skirting the question
itself; can’t afford to have answers that point at you.
Phase 3: I did try but it didn't work; Very
difficult to measure the quantity / quality of the attempt. Easier to abandon
half way than go through what seems like a huge struggle. Specially for the
insatiable ego you carry everywhere.
When you speak of difficulties in life,
everyone has them. But if you don't make it a point to work your way through
them, the feeling of being stuck will always keep you stuck. And difficult is
as difficult thinks it. Whereas, easy is as easy does it. Simple and quite
straight forward!

Philosophies of life
Isn't it amazing, this zest for life and
will to live? Despite lives ending around us and all kinds of ailments plaguing
humanity, we still carry on. Philosophies of life emerge every day. Some
listen. Some listen and practice. Some don't listen. Some don't want to know
and are happy in their world. Seasons come and go. Wrinkles start to show, last
on the face and limbs. Those on the mind are older but when they manifest
outwardly, we begin to take notice.
We are humans. We will regress some,
progress some, cry some, laugh some, and carry on living life with all that we
have, good, bad and indifferent. Who is anyone to say what these mean anyway? Because
they mean so many different things to so many different people that you get
exhausted from trying to fathom and analyze. It's like you roam all over the
world and then finally, come back and rest only in your home.
