Its not redundancy to think about this question as its something we all strive to answer if not now then may be at some other point of time. Seeing is believing but i always remind my self to be in me and not to compromise anything of my ideology over materialistic goals. Life must have a quality even if its purpose is being unattached. Most important are the people who are close to you and give you unconditional love. Of course our priorties are endowed upon them.
Also equally importatant if not less are strangers and i must try to give some value to them. If i could make even one good thing to add quality to their moment they spend with me it would just suffice. They wont even know that i know them for some reasons and touchwood they are still good. Its something i wont be able to tell them just because how it could be communicated. The ephimeral relationship with each person is very distant but they are still intense for me. Even if i try to be most direct and surprsing to them sometimes still there will be a lot more to talk about it. The challange is to understand the unsaid or read between the lines.
So here i am with a caricature of my self when i shake a hand or share a glance. How many times it has happened that i may have not talked with a person for days though i secretly think about them inspite of their first impression of me. Then suddenly i pop up with a very personal question to them or burst out with a intimate laughter or become playful with an observation of mine which i do all the time. They become suprised and that is my price, the best gift.
But what if its about a person whom i think is the only island i live in. That soul is my entire land. Its quite like a rainbow at the same time when its raining!
That is what we call the best quality of life!
Hi.!
ReplyDeletem impressed with ur profound discussion u made last time..
"Most important are the people who are close to you and give you unconditional love." .......
Its a very common thing which u have exemplified here..even i sometimes think like pissed off from some people..but how can we maintain the quality of life without compromise..itz the limb of life which flex or uproot the upcoming bushes.
Nice post!
Kind regards~

hi, thanks for pondering opon my point of view and surely discussion is an important tool for constant growth.
ReplyDeleteNow when it comes to make a compromise i must say we should not take it that way or atleast as a sign of subjugation. On the other hand it can be taken as a 'newer Pt. of view' or a seperate dimention of the problem. Change is the watchword here and its okay to include some things if they can help to add value to life.
I will try to explain this with an example. One of my friend always gets on my nerve when it comes to his views about culture. He is a traditionalist and believes that things,relations and family roles to be executed that way. I m the other way round.I believe in experimentation and uphold individuality. He twists this thing to selfishness. And that really is gross generalisation.
But you see i think its cool to hang out with him sometimes because his POV gets me intellectually satisfied about the things which i would normally not think about. So we agree to disagree!
And you'll find that its not a compromise its accepting, respecting and being humble. I mean thats how 'you flex inorder to not to get uprooted!' Right Rupi?
A Rainbow is beautiful because it has different colours/POV yet it has a unique value of its own.
Happy thinking!
