How many times has the above thing happened to you personally? Well, quite often, isn't it? And it happens every where, be it your home, be it your work or be it any other place or thing you deal with. You come across certain issues, think you are doing the right thing, reach at a point where things go beyond your control and then quit saying,"That's not my cup of tea." And you are so sure that this will help.
Well, the fact is that it doesn't. And then we think that the world is full of shit turning us into a cynic.
Why does this happen? We humans have a inborn tendency of something called "To Change." We want to manipulate things around us. We might say that we have great deal of reverence for other peoples' perspective, but the bottom line remains, "More than anything else, MY PERSPECTIVE MATTERS."
Founder of Vedanta Academy, Mr. Parthasarathy once said,"We get terrified by the summer and want it to be cooler, we shiver during winter and want it to be warmer, we hate rains and want it to be drier. We just want things to be what they are not"
Why???
Why can't we understand that the beauty of summer is its sweltering heat? The nature of winter is that it is cold, and it has to rain in the month of June. Why can't we accept things as they are and enjoy what they give us instead of wanting to change them for what they are not?
Life is not about quitting thinking,"Nature is something we cannot change." But it's about why do we want it to change. We are what we are because of things we have come across all our life right from the time we were born, similarly people have gone through their own way of living, and that's what makes them the way they are.
Let's not get petrified by someone whose nature made you feel disgusted. Lets feel lucky that you came across something unusual and got a chance to see what's printed on the other side of the coin.
Let's accept people the way they are, and let's enjoy their nature, after all Summer won't be called Summer if it's not hot !
