Contradictions in life


We are full of contradictions. We are the only species with the ability to communicate, yet we are still isolated in our own bubbles. We are intelligent enough to explore the space and celestial bodies, yet we struggle to find solutions in relationships. We are wise enough to know that life is short and unpredictable, yet we live our lives working as if money is going to secure our life on this planet for ever. 

Our emotions are conflicting, our thoughts too, a bundle of haves and have nots, a constant battle of rights and wrongs seem to rule our lives. Why is it that seemingly simple relationships, take a toll on our bodies and minds? Why are interactions with each other at different levels so complex ?

Human mind is not only intelligent, it is a jumble of emotions. Ever changing whirlpool of feelings, staggered into depths that can scare the bravest of us. In our quest to conquer the world, to understand and grasp the meaning of life, we forget to look deep into our hearts. Learning to be honest with ourselves takes practice and courage, because truth can be ugly and not so easy to handle.



Our mettle is tested with each challenge, and how we respond to it. Do we wallow in self-pity or do we accept responsibility? Do we count our blessings or do we just look for lost opportunities? Do we build our strengths or do we focus on our weaknesses? Failures break us, and over the time we have the opportunity to rebuild it with more awareness about our inner resources. Every closure forces us to reinvent and rebuild ourselves.

Ultimately, life is a just a series of incidents, go with the flow, let every event reveal the depths of your strength and widen your horizon.Life is beautiful, and the only way to enjoy it is embrace it with open arms and open hearts. Yet one of the hardest thing for a human being to do is to be open. Life is simple, organized to a certain extent , with natural laws and guidelines guiding all species to a certain extent.
