The actual difference
How beautifully we humans have been
created. Every part has a role , never mind that we are so clever we abuse it
again and again.
We have two ears , one to listen and one to
remove the filth we hear very often. Same with our mind. Thoughts should come
and go. But what happens is the opposite. They stay and then starts a reaction
and this habit lasts lifelong very often. The eyes , the windows of the soul,
become myopic because they can't see clearly into the soul. The senses, which
are given to us to experience all facets of life choose to act jointly with the
ego and destroy the feeling of joy. Just to describe a few.
So, we are our own worst enemies in every
way. All the academic excellence is on one side and life on the other. I can't
see negative emotions ever as a wise choice if it feeds the ego. If we go
through life without learning the useful lessons, we could certainly end up being
truly scholastic but still without the experience that makes the actual
difference.

Perspectives in life
Generally, people have many different
perspectives in life. Views on similar matters differ and widely sometimes.
Each one of us values our way of thinking until it changes could be due to
inner learning or external education.
Today, the main problem in society is the
basic non acceptance of other viewpoints. Rather, intolerance to viewpoints
other than our own.
Do we ever debate on why we don't look like
clones of each other? We know and accept external appearances but can't do the
same in any other manner. So, if color and case unite, they also divide. The
same goes for everything else. Money, fame, values, culture, sophistication
etc.
We worry more about the appearance of a
glass rather than whether the water we are drinking from it is pure. Glass
divides but water unites similarly religion. The belief in different gods or
spiritual heads divides though the blood in the veins is the same in all and
unites all mankind. Correction! SHOULD unite mankind.
Then what stupidity are we up to , and
actually propagating that stupidity of divisions in every sphere ? The question
is, do we see it that way? Never have we preferred to think we are right and
everyone else is wrong. And we take along all those who think like us, whether
our thinking is beneficial or destructive.
Unfortunately, that's how more and more
individualistic groups form, each distancing from the other on account of lack
of affinity. This extends beyond boundaries and intolerance rules the world.
Peace is therefore, in pieces.
