Once I believed-
My school teachers knew
everything;
Everything written in the
books was unquestionable;
But it turned out-
My teachers did not know
everything;
even the most
unquestionable history events
could be written in many
different ways;
Much is depended where we
are standing
and where we are looking
at.
Once I believed-
My parents knew what was
the best for me;
I followed their leads
without doubts.
But it turned out -
they had no clue what was
the best for me,
what they knew were their
own unfinished dreams!
Sometimes we can’t realize
our dreams,
simply because we are living
in others’ dream
instead of our own!
Once I believed-
the more knowledge one has
acquired;
the more intelligent one
can become;
But it turned out -
those so called
knowledgeable people I had admired
who could use eloquent
words to argue from politics to economy,
from the religion to the
black hole in the universe…
they seemed to know about
everything
yet they knew nothing
about themselves!
Real intelligence has
nothing to do with -
how much knowledge one has
accumulated in one’s brain
but how much one has known
about one’s self!
Once I believed in the
Cinderella story –
when we find our prince/
princess,
we will live happily ever
after…
But it turned out-
there is no such a thing
as ‘live happily ever after’;
most of our
disappointments even come from
our exhaustively trying to
live up to the fairy tale…
If everything else has its
natural course of changing and renewing,
why would you and me stay
unchanged?!
why would our relationship
remain the same?!
Either because,
we both have not grown
ever after those years;
we both remain in the same
spot as we were;
Or because,
our relationship has
transformed into some other sort of bond…
But, if our love has
transformed to something else,
IS it the same love?!
Once I believed-
Religion was just some
kind of superstition and unscientific;
Then I came to believe-
Religion can play
irreplaceable role in unifying
our physical existence
with our mind/spirit aspect
(if it is not misused).
I have heard debates from
the both sides,
and I have been in both
sides myself.
In the end it turned out,
at least for me-
there is really pointless
to dwell on the differences,
what was wrong yesterday
could be right today;
what was untrue for you
could be so true for me…
Everything has its own
timing-
timing can mean different
from one person to another;
when the time is right;
when the soil is right;
the seed within each of us
will be sprouting;
Just little more patience
for each other;
Just little more
acceptance for each other;
we will be able to make
difference in other's lives
and our own!
