Orientation
I have learnt that one should never reach a
point of no return. There should always be a little window open to jump out and
return. Anyway, life works out invariably to bring us face to face with what we
are studiously trying to avoid. And what for is we doing that often, due to our
weaknesses, our inability to face situations.
There is a little space to be maintained
between us, people and episodes. It gives us a clearer vision, a balanced
viewpoint and a better action orientation. Maybe, others might sometimes cause
a desire to burn bridges. It is good to maintain a status quo at such times. To
be neutral until you see which way the tide is turning.
The problem with us is, we won’t even
exercise our own wisdom because we are so busy just reacting and reacting more.
Let us just understand when to withdraw into our own space and when to emerge
from it. Then, there will be no need to reach a point of no return or to burn bridges,
at least, from our side.

Perspectives
Whether peace, conflict, anger or
restlessness, life does not stop for anyone. You get over grief (mostly). You
experience life in many shades. You love, you lose, you win, and you battle.
But at the end of the day, nothing pleases more than peace and harmony. And in
learning that this is what you ultimately wanted, you have almost completed
this journey.
But that is the law of life. You learn what
NOT to do very late in life. You keep repeating wrong patterns of thinking and acting.
Why? Why don’t some of us learn what works for us and just work with that? We
create conflict situations and then we do it again and again because our
responses don’t change. Our perspectives don’t change but as they say, better
late than never. So, a change in favor of establishing better patterns is
welcome at any time and the sooner the better.

Saturation Level
When you indulge in excesses, sooner or
later, you will reach a saturation point, enough to turn away from that
activity for good. And I don’t mean addictions. Addictions kind of drag you
down and generally, have no satiation nor saturation levels.
Certain activities have the same
deterioration quality that perhaps, repeated jokes that get stale over a period
of time.
When that happens, it is time to graduate
into more interesting activities. And if you can’t do this and get stuck out of
habit to what has stalled, you will be breathing the pollution into your life
without realizing why you are falling sick. We need to explore more facets of
life, like we did as kids.
