Freedom

Every child born into a family gets cast into a set of expectations. The expectations and aspirations are not of this human soul, but those of the family. Try living on your terms which do not coincide with those of the family and they will think that you are a complete loser.

The fact that you are happy simply living on your terms is not acceptable to them. Accepting that would mean that there can be a set of living which is different from their beliefs … but humans, sorry I will simply call them people (as I feel they are not being humane), are too egoist to accept that.

If you decide to live out of the social ties and are happy, they will simply keep telling you that you have no idea, and are being naïve; that you will realize it later … you are on your death bed, and they will again say, you will realize it later … someone, please ask them …. How late!!!

It is like you are swimming in sea and they are telling you, that you are supposed to swim only in a pool and turn back after a finite length. You do not simply keep going on with the flow. The concept is not there for them. Your journey into unknown is scary to them … they want to keep you in the territory which they know well. At least, they can boast knowledge about that, for they have been there always, not exploring new grounds.

Ah, the folly of my fellow beings!

Sky

When you look up at the sky, you realize that this is like a sheet over you … it covers everyone in its embrace. Its our skin holding us together. It means that all of us in this world – all humans, animals, birds, trees, mountains, rivers, seas are like various organs of the same body. Do we differentiate between our various organs... no, then why do we differentiate amongst ourselves. We are all connected, so there is no point in feeling unique. At the same time it should help us feel the joy, pain, daily tribulations of everyone with more compassion.
