LIFE- The same word, yet different connotations. Sometimes
we love it, at others we detest it, yet another time it lures us and all we
ever want. Multi-hued like a rainbow but at the same time can appear dull and
listless, never ending, like a dark moonless night. But then, love it or hate
it, this is all what life is!!
Life is a journey that is full of twist and turns. Life is a
book, a gift that is full of surprises. For those who enjoy every moment of it,
life is quite short but we mortals sometimes find it to be pretty long journey
which needs to be completed and that remains indubitable fact. Life is a dream
for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the
poor. Life can be merry at times and sometimes it can break us completely. At
times we groove over our uneasy past and sometimes we think of our sparkling
future. But whatever the situation is life always offers us something new to
learn, something new to explore and a chance to discover ourselves more deeply.
As years roll by we meet a new set of people- new friends some become our
family while some fade away from our life with time and only memories remain.
Life is not about attaching self with the bygones, it is basically about
learning to detach yourself from the past and paving a new way. One cannot
obviously be in the past and look for a brighter future at the same time, it
would be akin to sailing in two boats at the same time.
In the words of Pope John XXlll-
“Consult, not your
fears, but your hopes and dreams. Think, not about your frustrations, but about
your unfilled potential. Govern yourself but not with what you tried and failed
at, but with what it is still possible for you to do….”
