Reality

The journey of going within one selves never ends.
A few thoughts: There is one person who I know keeps to herself. Her loneliness, her happiness, her sad ness, her celebrations, her hunger, her thirst, her wants, her needs every thing. I am hardly aware if there is some thing else is her life than I know. Given the fact that I don't know much it is very unusual that we find people who are to themselves. Completely. Some one who cant share..who don't want to share..What ever the reason is.they are lonely.

Life is so strange and unfair to us. One need not be like the one I just expressed about.If we carefully notice our life, though we have so many things which keep us occupied in our life such as family, friends, job, joy, pleasure, the inevitable truth of life is that we are to ourselves. We are born alone and we die alone. How strange?

I watched this movie " The Fever" The speaker says " We know that we can give money we earn to some one else who needs it. Yet, we don't. Not that we cant live if we share. We don't want to. Why?

This is the point of introspection. We need to understand the real reason behind what we do . Some times perhaps we have reasons beyond what we can imagine. But they could be real. For the reality is that we don't want to accept and agree. Because we are all very comfortable with the way we lead life. On our own comfortable beds, our dates, our own salary based accounts, we get food to eat, clothes to wear. Is that the reality? We, I guess, fail to understand that what appears to be is not true. It's just an illusion of existence. What we like, what we want, what we feel. The reality could change. Then we change. and to the utter sadness, we are even losing the instinct to notice change and to live life in a healthy and admirable fashion. We are just not real and true to ourselves.

There can be pages and pages of such instances which can be quoted which we agree or not are truth. Yet, we like to rest on the clouds of such dreams. One day, when the cloud rains, we are dumped to the reality. We don't know where we land.

Notice

Being expressive becomes addictive I guess. I am now a days very excited on expressing what I noticed and learnt that day. My hope that some one is following my blog hasn't faded away yet. I have been waiting for the entire day for this moment to write.

We like ourselves because we know ourselves but we don’t like the others because we don’t know them. 

If we carefully notice …a few things.we like to sit in the theatre watch the crap for 3 hours and be like the ones in the movie because we like the environment. We get the freedom of watching it the way we want. We can imagine the way we want . We give 100% attention, life , heart every thing possible into it. But if we had to learn some thing at work or at school we don’t because things don’t go the way we want them to be. We have no control or less control. But in reality it isn’t possible. If you are living a life where both of them fuse i.e  you watch a movie and then you like the characters in it and you want your life to be  that way as in the movie, live in that illusion for some time and then not able to balance the both of them, it means that there is some thing which eats your happiness in your life. 

So is it with any thing in life. We like to do a lot of things but the true happiness  is some thing we dot know yet. cause we live in a world of conditions where we live in a illusion. We just think we know every thing,but we don't know that we are ignorant

Lessons

Lesson from IceAge 2
" So..ellie thinks that she is a possum not a mammoth until she meets Manny. It takes time for her to realise that she is mammoth until manny tells her that she is similar to him and she is not small"

How very well was it portrayed that we don't know the strength we have within ourselves due to the company we have been living in since the birth. Well, It is true that we tend to form a habit because of the way we were raised, the people we grew up with and the impressions we had. This doesn't make any one less than positive. These experiences come by default as a part of the package. If we want to enjoy more luxuries, we need to subscribe for them by making more efforts of learning and being and more self awareness.



A few conversations with one of my friends told me that I have been under estimating my own power for quite some time now. May be I am not really as powerful as I think I am now, but the thought of being weaker makes it all the more.. weaker. Whatever is is.it's a thought where did it originate!? Only I know the answer so would you..If there is anything which has made you feel the way you feel now..and what you feel now makes you suffocate then.you need to re look at it from the bird's view. It will help you notice and learn many things which you wouldn't have ever thought of. about yourself.

The power of Perception

Did you notice this pic..It's so faint that we don't know what it is until we see carefully. Similar to our perceptions. One of my colleagues shared an incident with me which came to her from mouth to mouth.

A traveller was in the flight and waiting for the passenger in the next seat to occupy. The guy walks in and he appears sophisticated, well dressed and groomed and sits next to the window The traveler thought this guy seems to be good enough to strike a conversation. and tries to initiate the conversation. The guy doesnt respond. The traveler thought to himself " What an ill mannered person could he be?" After a short while, the airhostess, walks in and offers a drink to the guy and he just waves his hand to say no not even looking at the air hostess. The traveler is shocked and thinks to himself" How rude?"


After a few hours of journey, the flight lands and there is an announcement." All the passengers who are flying to XYZ place and have to fly through so and so airways please unboard the flight immediately as the time left is too less" The guy walks to the traveler and says" Could you please excuse me, I need to get out of the flight because I lost my wife and children in an accident in the XYZ place"


One unfortunate and unavoidable thing in life is that we are so bound to form perceptions about people that we cant live without them. If we have no perceptions we may end up feeling low about ourselves. Based on my observations and Incidents we form perceptions because of  :

• Fears and Insecurities
• Our expectations
• What somebody told us
• We dont know what it is like 
• We dont want to think
• We are happy this way because it doesnot add pressure

 It's been so easy to write but too hard to deal . A life without perceptions would make life so docile that its hard to live in the world of modern times.

Life makes becomes so pleasant without perception. Imagine a life where you don't have to worry about what your neighbours think about your friends, you don't have to worry about what your boss will think about your work but you give your 100%, you don't have to have sleepless nights, you can get healthier and peaceful.

But its not possible Is it? More to go...

The Awakening

This is quite strange that there is so much of energy we have in our life when we work, we struggle  to keep up to our work commitments, to make time for our the ones we love, to be ahead of the race in the society, to cover our own inner insecurities, to be able to project some thing which we always wanted to be, to be able to live smiling every day, to be able to enjoy the luxuries everyday so that we can forget the daily pressures from peers, parents, siblings, friends and so called making up for what we lost. We sleep with no smile on face, wake up with no peace of mind, we sleep with our legs in our stomach, hugging the pillows for the comfort, we keep searching for the special one who can understand before we hardly utter a word, we fake a smile with a perception of facing the world, we cry when we are alone and some times we cry within , and sometimes we don't even know that we are crying until we find a shoulder, we sleep scared that we cant ope our heart to any one, we eat food as if we gotto run and we wouldn't wake up . We wake up only to realize that all the pain and suffering we went through is only like a chase of mirage. Its not real. The reality is in the heart. The happiness is in the heart. The true reason which would make us happy was not what we were running behind, not to live upto someone else's expectation, not to pretend being what we wanted to be. Its in the hearty smile we gave when we learnt some thing about our self, when we shared our small mistakes with some one and yet slept in peace, when we ate food on time, when we played with our friends and when we smiled the whole day without any flickering of our thoughts.

The unfortunate reality of life is that we do not learn this until we live in a state of illusion for a period of time . The day we wake up, we see ourselves neck deep in the swamp . Only because we woke up we are safe, else you wouldn't have ever opened our eyes.

The question we need to ask ourselves is..

" In this world of unlimited dreams and innumerable options, do I still want to live in the illusions of - control, happiness, power or do I want to be wide awake so that I can live life fully and in reality.

Did You Notice!!???

 Did You ever notice ?
We are unhappy because we imagine what we want to happen over and over again, we hope the most positive results out of that, we live partially in the same world  but if it doesn't materialize, we remain unhappy and then the world seems upside down. We look at our own faults and the faults of the people around us. Some times, the most loved ones. The reality is nothing stops because of that. Life just goes on usually. We are just a speck of the world. Even if we were the most special ones in the world our charm would get withered away one day. So, the best way to live is not to expect anything from what you do. But the obstacle is..its not as easy to implement  as to say. That's the catch. If we don't expect we cant live life in this competitive world, if we live without expectations then we live like a cow.. Ummpph!!! To be able to be balanced is the trick . The world we can see is one hand..the world we imagine is on the other hand within ourselves. Its so tough to live with the world without one within.
