I have not had the best of the day today but I must acknowledge that this day I have been able to see and live without any major disaster.The day to me is just about sadness for no real reason behind it because I prefer to live by the book which is not the case most of the times and thats cause a big disappointment.
Well, what made me feel okay is the article I recently read on"Perspective" written by John Miller which was about family experience and how crucial Perspective becomes in making us feel "Happy or Sad". John shared his real life experience. One of the usual days he was simply enjoying a movie time with his wife when he received a call about his granddaughter birth and her crucial condition. The next few days were days of utmost sadness because it was a matter of life and death of a newborn who was expected to bring just happiness in the family. A week of tensions and fears ultimately ended with the hope of a revival. That particular incident changed the perspective of the entire family. How? This way - The next day John had a power cut in his neighbourhood and on enquiry he found out that the customer service rep was clueless about it. Unlike before where John could have just blasted the rep for not having any information and being useless he decided to have another take. He simply said - No Big Deal, Its a beautiful day! Guess he acknowledged that there had been no matter of life and death that day and it can be survived and enjoyed like any other day.
I will, likewise, be happy knowing about my family and other close ones are doing fine today without any loss.
Eat-Pray-Love: This is my last book that I finished and immediately rushed to Jb-Hi to buy a print. Yes, I do not prefer to save a copy on my desktop. I need to feel it with a touch. May be I love "possessing". For me it was a Must buy. Reading through it gave me enormous joy because I could relate with quite a bit of the story. Having gone through the similar phase I could feel the need of having it on my shelf. It talks of some deep thoughts that are unexplainable unless one has gone through that phase though I wish none of you should.
Throughout the pages, "Emptiness" has been defined. What is it? 'Holding on to something' or just 'Containing Nothing'? Do you realise it is the core of anybody's sadness that can not be expressed. I have had my moments of emptiness and we all do. None of us have been escaped without a loss and that loss make this Emptiness survive. I have no intentions to scare you but if you really think, the major reasons behind suicide has been this feeling that has been unfilled. This feeling, if sustains for longer than desired is surely destructive.
Liz in this story has been running everywhere in the world to find out what this Emptiness is all about and what to do about it? Is it others or is it she? In real world, not all of us has the ability to just leave everything aside and go on a wordly tour. We have to find a way just where we are. A strong sense of learning is desired and way too strong sense of determination is required. You will get distracted at every pace of the second and it can blow you away with a snap of a second. The trick is to stay. Stay where you are. Stay with whom you are. Let it unwind.
I am doing that right now. Staying just here to see where I have to go......hoping...for the worst is over and the best have yet to come...
