Liberate

 Life is one big movie within the theatre of this world. We laugh, we cry, we suffer endlessly and unnecessarily if I might add the last word. At some point you learn to extricate yourself and watch this movie unfolding and are able to laugh at it!

Is anything permanent that we live attaching ourselves to it? You see people “close” to you moving away and you see some coming closer for whatever reasons. You see people judging you, smirking while some actually and grudgingly respect you even. However, our insecurities or otherwise, are generally the cause of how we shape our world. And this has little to do with others.

You will always find beauty in a stand-alone form because it seems to stand tall against a backdrop even of chaos. There is a sense of “belonging” to the supreme power which is the only support all creation has on a permanent basis. The cycle of the death of the old and the beginning of the new is a perpetual in the universe. The pattern is undeniable and unquestionable: the “tower” in the tarot cards, I think.

There is a steady stream of wisdom running before us, wisdom that when practiced, gives us a sense of realization of our intrinsic existence as “existence, consciousness, bliss”. It is the most liberating realization and one each one of us should strive towards.

Ambitions


We do many things out of being misguided. One of the most tragic ones is living through your children. Life often fails to give you what you want. That is sad. But for you to force your children to take the path you wanted to is definitely an injustice to them. Ambitions cannot be imposed upon anyone externally. Besides, that was your life. This is theirs.
Ironically, we repeat what our parents did to us that are, not letting the kids have the freedom to choose, to make independent but informed decisions.
Children who are bulldozed into deviating from their desired goals are often angry and frustrated later in life, likewise with children trying to wreak vengeance on behalf of their parents or loved ones.
It is our duty to guide our kids alright, but not coerce them and on no account, to make them into anything but wholesome individuals.

Self abnegation


Sometimes, we make observations like, he or she talks too much. There are many reasons why there are some people who feel the need to talk... to fill in the long silences between people, awkward silences of discomfort. Some people try and fill up these silences to keep conversation going.
On the flip side, there are those who will just look at you but not speak. No reaction comes forth, as I mentioned this leading to the awkwardness. The psychology of the silent ones runs deep and can vary from insecurity to low self esteem to fear of saying the wrong thing; Even the fear of ostracisation self abnegation.
The good news is, public behavior and conversation is a learnt art. You can actually change your current personality to incorporate techniques which will put you in a safe zone, and, in fact, make you a confident and happy conversationalist.
