~ Reflections ~

All of us have different milestones & benchmarks in life... Some want to climb the Everest, some wish to start work of their own... but what if your only wish is to be happy... and that is all you aspire for... does it mean that one has settled for less... that they are less ambitious... or is it simply and endless ladder, since one is never happy.. and we always want better...

I am born.... I will die... This is the only reality.... Whatever I give or get in between, is likely to get rotated/recycled amongst people I know....  Do I "value" everything I get... No... But do I treasure it all... Yes... Atleast I try to... As a result, I accept whatever I get, whomsoever it might be, in my circle of life, who might be giving it to me.... and the same goes to what I give... I don't think twice... Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, While loving someone deeply gives you courage.   ~ Lao Tzu

The feeling that seems to be hounding my life the most is guilt... The guilt of not doing something I should have... the guilt of not spending time with friends, parents.... oneself... I guess the source of all happiness is to be free of guilt... No guilt... no nagging thought at the back of my mind... calm and peace.... But more often than not, guilt is a reflection of our own conscience...  which sometimes we tend to ignore for too long... It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution. ~ Oscar Wilde
