Pandoras Box


Rare are the moments when we don’t have complaints. Either with ourselves, our neighbors, Family, friends …. The list goes on and on...
There comes a point when we begin to believe that it is just ‘ME’ and no one else in this whole wide world with a big issue/problem...
 It has indeed become a rare sight today to see people happy from their heart and soul.... On the outside…. We make our best possible attempt to convince the world, more than ourselves that we are satisfied and happy indeed...
Some may have a whiny spouse, cribbing child or an annoying neighborhood, while some sit all day and critique themselves on aspects of live, happiness, satisfaction, achievement and most importantly Failure!!!!!!!
We get affected by the pettiest issues…… and consider it to be the biggest of all….. The way people are giving in to life and quit so easily, really makes me think about many  things…

Is this called patience, is this called fighting back?
For those who think they have tried their best, or given enough chances to life or for the situations to change….. And for those who curse Pandora to have ever opened the box of troubles……. I would like to invite you all to re think and always look at the bigger picture!!!

If you are cribbing about how hot or cold it is, or how u hate the place u live in (by choice), then think about the soldiers in Army Navy and Air force. Think about the situations they get to live in, in extreme climatic conditions, with only one aim- to safeguard their country and its people, so that ‘WE- the one’s who complain all day’ can sleep in peace.
If you are complaining about how each part of your body hurts, think about the differently abled and crippled, who wake up every morning with the zeal to live life as normally as possible…..
If you are complaining about your family and friends and how you don’t get along with any of them, think about the homeless, orphans and old age homes, who have no family of their own!!
Though at the end of the day they form their own family and give life a new meaning…..

Why have we all narrowed down our vision so much, that we almost see only our selves and no one else. Why cant we acknowledge the blind who also try to cross the road along with us, while we cross the road;  almost blindly preoccupied by our thoughts?
Why don’t we see that if we consider ourselves as middle class or not with a great standard of living, there are people who live their entire life on the roads. On the contrary if we are among the creme of the creme, there are definitely people who are richer than us. So whats the point in just showing off to the world about your status and money, while you don’t have the heart to help the one’s who need it!

The day we do start seeing the bigger picture….. is when we will pursue Happiness and peace of mind!

In the Pursuit of Happiness.......
That is Just Me!!!
