The other day, there was a heated political debate on a TV
channel and I was in the other room- to own up, I have lost all interest in
politics L. Anyway,
the fact is that though I was in the other room, still the noise was very
unbearable. To avoid listening to that noise, I switched on some music – not for
the first time that I had done it, but it triggered a thought …
“I am drowning
one noise with another”.
It is true that I have more pleasant sound around me (Its
pleasant so it is sound, else it becomes noiseJ), but has
the unpleasant sound disappeared… NO. Have I really not added to noise levels …
YES.
Aren’t we doing this in our lives too? We are discontent with
a certain aspect and we start making up for that lack in another aspect. My
belief is that all of us simply want love and peace, and we keep working to achieve
the same.
Whenever there is something that disturbs our peace and love,
we start looking at achieving money, power, place of honor – basically these
are again tools to get love. I have no issues with these external acts, but at
the same time, don’t we need to address the core issue.
My first thoughts on this is that we need to first accept
things the way they are in that moment. If there was a sound which was not to
my liking, probably, if I accept it as it is, if I focus on it from aspect of
love, then I would have been able to accept it and maybe learnt something as
well.
Well, I guess what I am trying to say is that we are not
addressing main issues and simply cover them with something else. And a
possible way out I see is that we need to accept things as they are – no I am
not saying that we resign to the situation, but accept it, and keep our
energies free to tackle the situation in the best possible way, so as not to
add further to disagreeable situation. In a very simple way, we need to stay
aware as to what we are doing!
Any thoughts…
