Slice of confidence
Being true to ourselves! How many of us can
honestly claim this about ourselves? This in current times is the singularly
hardest thing to do. Because the consequences of this we humans cannot take.
We are constantly saying and doing things
for the wrong reasons either to be accepted. Or not be isolated or for being
popular. Could we ever have the courage to be true to ourselves? Yes, it
requires lots of courage, to be different. To stand out among a group that
encourages herd mentality. To face even dislike, criticism, ostracisation even,
if I were to state extremities.
If I feel something, can I say it? If I am
being compelled to be someone else, would I refuse? Be ABLE to refuse? Would I
risk the wrath of the people who give me my identity?
Yes, it does take a large amount of courage
and a large slice of confidence to go it alone, for it sometimes would mean the
falling away of many who aren't able to do the same and would therefore, not feel
too good about themselves if they were in your company.
But, be true to yourself anyway.

Actions can make a difference
We bring change through example, not words.
Sooner or later, words fade into significance and people start scrutinizing the
person behind the words. Heard of the saying," pot calling the kettle
black?" Only actions can make a difference.
When I was travelling back to Chennai from
Mumbai, I saw a family of parents and 3 to 4 children who were making a real
racket and drawing the frowning attention of the passengers around them. The
parents were laughing and talking really loudly and so were the kids being
unruly and loud. You could see that the attitude of self absorption did not
remotely register in their minds and behavior in public places was not a
subject of study.
BE the person you want the other to be.
Many parents cease to have influence on their kids until they understand that
children learn what they demonstrate, likewise in any situation in life; at
home in society or workplace.

Almighty
The
karma theory does not always sit well on people who feel they have been
targeted unnecessarily without any provocation. And wronged, Also made to pay a
very heavy price, sometimes for most of their lives. Overtly and examined at
face value, it is a believable "truth”, though a subjective one. The
question is, why do certain things happen to certain people only? Why not to others?
There are many unseen reactions and belief systems at work behind the scenes
which are not "seen" and therefore, people may end up believing in a
partial truth or even the illusion of truth which they can understand.
Once
karma hits without warning, and what is perceived as a gross injustice by the
injured party towards the perpetrator turns into a wound, karma is not a reason
they will believe. They call it preaching because it has not been experienced
by the person who speaks of karma. But, truly, I don't think I know anyone who
has NOT seen the theory "what goes around comes around" work in their
lives. Often, it takes many years to even start bearing the consequences of
karma based on its quality. But it DOES come to fruition.
The crucial point for us humans is not to
wish ill to those who have worked against us because the rewards or otherwise
come from above very scientifically and clinically. There is no need for humans
to take this onus upon themselves, because that would not be their business.
The equation is between the doer and the Almighty.
