The one example that every personality development program will pick up with the garb of explaining positivity to the audience. "This glass on the table, how would you describe it?" The ones who consider themselves , the smart "....."- ( i leave that for you to fill up) jump at the answer stating - this is half full, with the expectation to hear, "superb- thats being positive, and the remaining few who sit and sigh at the usual , pattern of questions which are used in the PDPs...
Then spat came an explanation from the lecturer.. "the conotation to this glass is a lot different today. No situation in todays world can be so perfect that it is half full or half empty"... said the lecturer, this glass is "neither full nor empty"
Let me introduce the students and the lecturer to all of you. The students are none other than the hundred questions that fly around in my head and the lecturer is the culmination of my mind and heart. Many a times, i have asked myself this question, can any thing be so clear in todays world? Doubt it. Close to impossible. (Nothing is completely impossible in this world).
Life always takes us through this rugged terrain to explain to us what it means to lead a life which is "neither full or empty" - what is it that any human wants to gain out of this worldly living? Material benefits, lineage..... what? Either ways, all that a human ends up doing is get into this rat race and try to compete in the exodus... leading to irritation/ frustration and a lot of dissatisfaction...
Even though i want to stay away from this deluge of a race which can drown all of us... the force is so strong that i am being carried away by it.. and so is the case with each one of you who is reading this ...so as you read it .. procrastinate and try to realise the importance of yourself and your loved ones in this rat race, because for want of making it in the exodus, dont lose all in this deluge...
WAKE UP AND REALISE THAT LIFE IS NEITHER FULL NOR EMPTY... before you find yourself in a situation trying to figure out WHAT HIT YOU AND WHAT YOU MISSED!!!
GOOD LUCK...
