Realization
There are so many personal prejudices in
current times, so many competitive attitudes ending with toppling another to
climb onto their backs. Even conversations are only about others. And the topic
is not really about people either. it is mostly about our own underlying envy ,
a desire to discredit someone in someone else’s eyes.
We are seeing this even on the larger
canvas as in the current elections. And it is there because the average caliber
of human being has been found wanting. Open hostilities indicate that there is
no value for respect as a personal virtue. We are willing to give up our
dignity, our grace to achieve what can only be a selfish end because, the
qualities of people with a high sense of dignity and self respect are very
different. They don’t need to downgrade themselves. They are confident and
contented people.
I would like to think that the tide is
turning towards a realization that values need to be generic and real, followed
by everyone.

The light of day
Routine gives us that anchor, that
steadiness of mind that actually makes creativity easier. Imagine if we were in
a frenzy to create something all the time! Our minds would be nothing short of
yo-yos. Ideas germinate and take time to manifest.
Have you seen a write scribble, then bunch
up the papers in frustration and relegate them to the garbage bin, again and again?
The mind can become that garbage bin if we don’t watch out. Ideas, thoughts,
millions of them might emerge and nothing might come of them.
But when the mind is steady, at least some
ideas would see the light of day. Everything needs a steady base to create the
required movement.

Depth of gratitude
The depth of gratitude is not felt by many
the need for gratitude, even less sometimes. Also much is taken for granted.
Like a female Spouse, who just is expected to do certain things at home? It is
very rare that she is thanked.
Similarly, if you start writing down all
that you and I have to be thankful for, you will be surprised how many items
come up on the list. From the life we have to everything that we enjoy but
never appreciate.
A daily prayer and an attitude of gratitude
go a very long way in keeping us cleansed and happy.
